Yeah, Michelangelo's paintings with just one brush and simple B&W paints are 
sure great.

I've never understood the ascetic aesthetic of picture taking.

I see things in my visual field that I want to capture. One focal length just 
means that I practice a lot of moving 
closer and farther away, and experience a lot of frustration when that doesn't 
suffice. I don't understand how letting 
one FOV choose my subjects is better than letting whatever creative vision I 
have choose them.

I can see how this would work for folks like the blogger enamored with iPhone 
as ultimate camera. I can see it for the 
urban street shooter, conventional, H. C-B style.
