*[Note I can't do a book of the photos I took around Greenwood Cemetery or sell them - for two reasons 1) I need Greenwood Cemetery's approval, and 2) there's a lot of professional photographers in that cemetery with real cameras, not iphones.]

1) And are you sure you couldn't get it? Hm?

2) It isn't the camera, it's the photographer. There were many famous photographers in decades long past whose equipment was staggeringly primitive by today's standards and yet they took brilliant, unforgettable images with it. The camera I use is this one, bought well over a decade ago, maybe two:

I think I paid maybe $250 bucks for it, and it's essentially a 'point'n'shoot', with minimal adjustments available. I've made prints up to 13 x 19 inches with it, and they look quite good. Your phone is probably technically better than my camera in some regards.

You have the eye, that's all that matters. Trust me on this, OK?

BTW, liked all the pics here, but the one on the medium? Superb. The two trees on left and right, where they're touching in the middle, like fingers? Did you notice that when you were framing the shot? See, I do stuff like that from time to time... I see a shot, take it, and only realize later on when I pull it up in the editing software on my monitor, and notice... Oooo! Isn't that cool... just now realized what I did there!

It's not the camera.
