Helping others with anything is rewarding as it is nice to be kind and it also has vanity aspects of it. Mentorship and being appreciated for your skills are rewarding and neither is bad. We are all human. I'm in a 55+ retirement community with a photo club. We share our knowledge, review each other's work and help with encouragement. When you're as old as us, any help is appreciated.

Our flavor of creative anachronism is distinctly 19th-20th century, with arguably a whiff of steampunk.

especially when your sitting down, and the knee locks up, and you have to decide peeing in the chair, or trying to hobble on one leg and hope you dont fall down.

steam powered shutter could be fun, and a steam powered robot to lug gear around as well.

I have given away a lot of gear

I also noticed most of it remains unused

Took 4 years to get the loaner TLR back, she was not using it

I also offered my Chicago LARGE DR listed on ILFORD Dayroom Finder

Nobody ever emailed or called

I sold, stuff, gave away a lot

Moved rural, big sign, NO Trespassing

and Flick lost many

AI at work
