>>4075713It's very easy actually, just look at what the biggest gearfags end up with. Be it here, on dpreview, flicker, or any other site. Gearfags will always be shooting a shit ton of lenses, formats, and bodies, and their output will always be disjointed, souless, and all over the place. You could add the output of long time gear reviewers next to them, somehow they all manage to loose the skill and will with time. It's not just their output, with video reviewers, you can often observe their positive, enthusiastic, outlook being replaced by complacency and boredom.
Photography is craft that depends on technology, but there's also a degree of familiarity and intuition that can only come with long time mastery of said technology. It's still a long and thorny path, but It's impossible to follow it by constantly changing the tools. That only causes a fall into the gearfaggotry abyss.
