You and I use things to write with. Pens, pencils computers, etc.
Writers who write novels, poetry, etc. use these things to write with too.
Great writers use things to write with in a way that makes them who they are in the literary field. They have taken a tool (pen , pencil, computer,) and use it in a way that brings art to the world.
You and I use cameras. A camera is a tool.
We should strive to use our cameras in the way that great writers use things to write with.
