Of course light is overrated, but then so is photography!

Actually light is not overrated; it is only those who don't work hard enough  
at learning how to work with it, or those who lack talent who would make  
such an absurd statement. For those who feel that way: Stick to twiddling  
with knobs and "virtual" life; the rest of us have photos to make. This is  
not to say that light is only thing that "makes" a photograph; there is also  
composition, color, & gesture.-30-
