Lovely photos, by the way. They have a feel of the period of the buses, etc. Nice work.
"All the gear and no idea" springs to mind.
Puts me in mind of a situation a few months back when a guy asked me to show him what I'd been shooting.
(It's worth explaining at this stage that I was using a Nikon F6 with a battery pack - so it did resemble one of the larger digital cameras).
Anyway, as the F6 is a modern (current production model) camera that has a screen on the back, this pillock had decided that it must be a digital camera. He started waxing lyrical about the fact that film is dead and good riddance, digital is much more "accurate" (whatever that meant) and it's so much cheaper 'cos you can pump out hundreds and hundreds of shots of the same thing - whereas with film you're stuck with 36 on a roll.
Anyway, I said I couldn't show him my photos as my camera shot film. He all-but called me a liar and insisted that Nikon had given up making film cameras years ago and that a camera as new and whizzy as mine (auto focus, auto film wind) couldn't possibly be anything other than digital.
As I was only 2 shots from the end, I rattled them off, re-wound the film, opened the camera's back and removed the film canister. He then changed tack and started ranting about how much better digital photos were than film and he couldn't understand why I was still shooting film (and black and white at that) when much better technology was available.
It was then that I just collected my things and, without another word, walked away from him - while he was in mid flow. I know it could be construed as being rude but there are just some times in one's life where it's better to just walk away and not to rise to the bait.
The irony is that I do have digital cameras and I do like using them - from time to time. I just can't understand why - whether it's film or digital - people get almost aggressively evangelical about their preferences. It's not passion, it seems much more like bigotry, to me.....
