That is true, there is a certain elitism in judging one type of effort to be more 'worthy' or more indicative of 'talent' than another.
It does still piss me off to see the 'meh' things some people do with their stupidly expensive cameras though and think longingly of what I (or even moreso Erin) could do with kit like that.
I appreciate your frustration and will do my best to alleviate it with a kleptomaniacal rampage against the slavishly overpaid, unapreciative, aperture mediocrites.
For the record I think that the sort of talent where someone can achieve a result through hard gained knowledge, rather than sheer bloody mindedness, is the greater ability. However I almost respect the people that run a Marathon in 7 hours more than I respect those that can run one in just over 2. Probably because being rubbish and unrelenting is more admirable than starting off great and becoming greater.
