It's ~the~ tool, isn't it? Without it there's no photograph. No matter what other hardware, software or storage devices you put your images in or through, the camera is the necessary starting point of the photographic process (no, the photographer is not the starting point, because s/he only becomes a photographer when s/he has a camera with him/her). A photographic idea without a camera is still not a photograph, is it? Still, that was a great quote, John. Very pithy.
