James: I’m glad you agree — and that I’m not alone. Oh, and cool story!

Blast, and I was going to buy the same camera that you have just to take photos as good as yours. But seriously, I completely agree. I think it’s something in society where we can’t accept that someone has more skills than we do, so we seek to monetize their skills by associating them with expensive tools.

There is a story of the great violinist Heifetz who was approach while exiting stage by an individual who remarked, “It was a lovely concert, your violin sounds beautiful.” In response, he held the violin up to his ear and replied, “Funny, I don’t hear anything.”

Anyways, that was a great post, you must have one of those really expensive keyboards.

Bryan,

I know exactly what you mean! It’s a pet peeve of mine when someone says this. It’s like…yeah, my camera’s nice, but don’t I have anything to do with the photos??? Good post. I am totally with you on this.
