Quite possibly a character trait. I went a bit "deep" with hi-fi some years back. Now I'm over all that. The camera thing was a 6 month loop, triggered by a friend, and after sampling the sweet shop I ended up back where I started, so perhaps a little different. Maybe not. Whatever, if it's a character trait it's harmless and one I seem to share with most males perhaps. It doesn't stop me being bored of watches, hi-fi and cameras though :rugby:
Effortlessly linking these paragraphs, I do wonder sometimes, well, not very often, but right now I do, if this whole watch ( camera or hi-fi, as appropriate ) malarkey really took off after the fortuitous convergence of online fora and digital photography. With all due respect to our Spanish friend's occasional and welcome reminders that it was all a Biver and Hayak master plan, I think they maybe got lucky. The "here's my trinket !" / "what a lovely trinket !" / "I want that trinket !" / "I know lots about this trinket !" / "I want to learn all about these trinkets !" cycle does rather lend itself to hyperinflation via fora and digital photography. Not to mention the concurrent economic boom. ( Ah,
Now there's no boom, and no watch left un-photographed nor un-eulogised. No undiscovered islands to visit, no journey worth taking. Hence boredom.
