Camera collector vs photographer

I was on the train home with my boss/mentor (jimmy) after work and dinner.
We talking about some aikido techniques then this quite under dressed guy came out of nowhere and interrupted our conversation; jimmy was wearing a t-shirt with a famous camera.

man: " that's a prototype camera. where did you get it from?"
jimmy (smiling) : "From bangkok."
man: "this camera is the prototype camera. built for WWII.."
Continues to rattle the history of the camera of the t-shirt. Took out a photography magazine and start to explains what's the difference in appearance in the new type and the older type of that camera.

I was just thinking about this incident while i was chilling out at starbucks after work.
What is a camera without the user?
Is the camera itself more important than it's function?
Is the camera itself more important than the results you can attain through it?
I doubt so.
So, the point is, like what jimmy always says.
You can have any type of camera but eventually it's the pictures that is going to make the difference.

I was also thinking about something about boy-girl relationships.
So what kind of girl would i wish to have/marry?

Pondered..

The answer i came to.

One that fear God - even more than i do.
