A good camera does help! But more and more I think it's the content that is most important. Though.. If I had the funds I'd definitely get a much better camera too! And while I have access to this same 6x7, I tend to use the smaller digital T4i cause it's so much easier.. A digital medium back would be nice.. But.. A bit pricey.
Thanks for appreciating my dads work! And yeah.. Some type of meetup for taking pictures or teaching people about photography would be a good idea for him. I agree. One for me in the future as well, I've though about it before.
