I’m getting a hour-glass.

Much better than a regular timer when you’re doing the “Pomodoro” method and have to get something done. But I also have a nice lava-lamp, which is great when you’re listening to music. And a record-player for vinyl CDs. And fidget toys for my ADHD and Autism (to stim while I’m doing something).

I’ll be honest: I need eitiher:

Portability

Analog

If I can’t carry it or if it’s not mechanical, the i don’t care.

    Ah yeah I kinda get that with the watch. So much going on. I like it though lol.

    Also, from what era does your film camera come from? Why do you have such a collection? Just curious. Is it better than digital?

    Late 40s to early 50s for the Zorki 2. I’ve had an interest in photography forever. One time my friend started talking to me about his collection of film cameras and that gave me the push to start my own collection. Most of my stuff is from the 70s and 80s. I wouldn’t say it’s better necessarily and film can be pretty expensive to purchase and develop, but there’s something satisfying about waiting to see how your shots come out.

      Honestly, photography is underrated.

      It makes history and is the prime tool of cinematography in film.

      In some ways, the visual sight informs all other media in general, how we look at things in our minds, and even literature when you consider how the mind’s eye looks at things.

      Very intriguing sphere of interest.
