I blame him for the fact that it is getting harder to find somewhere to get my films processed or to buy photographic paper because he (and his kind) abandoned a whole method of taking pictures in pursuit of high tech toys...Maybe I'll get my own pigeon-hole, later in this series?

I suppose I am - but a different catagory of gearhead.

I actually deplore the idea that you need to get the latest high tech widget to take a photograph.

My gear list would consist of medium and large format cameras, vintage and Victorian lenses and FILM!

I realise that in much of my photography I am having fun with my equipment, I sometimes have more in common with someone who restores vintage cars and goes touring in them than a 'photographic artist' - so maybe I am a gear head, but I really dislike the type of gear head who thinks I am an idiot for wasting my time with an 'out of date' film camera when obviously any sensible person would want to use the very best, the very latest technology.
