Your camera doesn't matter, because if you're the right person you'd treat your photos with equal respect, be it taken with a cell phone or a Hasselblad. Your camera does matter, because if you're not paying attention, the only difference you'd make is the difference between your gears...
I don't get this "photography is dead because there's too much of it". How much is too much?
The photograph is not unique in natural. Photography had, and will always be about reproduction since collodian took over - in fact it overcame the daguerreotype mainly due to it being easily duplicated. The world had been flooded with, and drawn in images for over 150 years. Mechenical, industrial, material, that's the evil box we call the camera. The cell phone is but an extension of the old concept that had "tainted" the visual world. We're shaped by the trivial, by birth. Shall we go back to the middle age to make it sacred again?
