Mobile Phone Camera Musings

I just saw Spud Gun's latest offering and i am impressed. 3.2mpixel mobile phone camera.
Where will all this technology lead us? But seriously folks; when i consider that my olympus that i use at work is only 3.2Mpix, and the School Photographer that took my Son's school photos only was using 3.2Mpix(and the results were more than acceptable) it comes down to the Philosophy that i read somewhere:
You don't need expensive camera's to get great pictures. What you do need is Vision, often a little ingenuity , some foresight , the ability to occasinally take a chance and a Camera. And always remember that a Camera is just a light proof box(except when it's a holga...) that captures light onto a form of Media(digital or film or whatever)
It's the Photographer behind the camera that decides wether or not a moment in time is captured and how.
Considering this one comes to realise that all moment are unique, and i guess by extension that makes all pictures(good, Bad or otherwise) unique.
