Lack of gear doesn't matter.

What matters, is being there, with a camera, and being prepared to take the shot.

What matters is knowing the gear you have, and being able to make the most of it.

What matters is having the eye, the vision to see what's right in front of you.

What matters is practice.

What matters is you. The photographer. Without you, there's no photo.

You take the photo. The camera is just the tool you use.
