Making a full circle to the introductory paragraph, this year's winners go to show that you can take a great photo even with less than perfect gear, like Black & White category winner Alessandra Manzotti, who did it on her iPhone 5C, which is considered somewhat old by today's standards. And the brands are not as important as some may think. Winners used iPhones, Samsungs, and Huaweis, and even Xiaomis, and Vivo, among lesser-known brands. The lesson here is: go out and do it, and you may become the winner of next year's MPA.

Someone needs to ask the artist, "Are you feeling suicidal?" It's not an easy question to answer but one that shouldn't scare people away.
