Forty years. Two days. One and a half hours. One hundredth of a second.

An old thing and old times.

Forty years, two days, one and a half hours and one hundredth of a second. These time periods respectively represent different meanings in the figure below: the time of the oldest object has survived; the time it takes to freeze it; the time it takes for the ice to melt completely; and the time it takes to take a picture of it.

Some numbers are vague, while others are approximate or precise.

There were a lot of gadgets and old things. But after sorting and discarding again and again, the number becomes smaller and smaller. I planned to rearrange them this year. Right before throwing them away or reselling them, it occurred to me that why not take some pictures.

    Froze them and let the ice gradually and naturally melt. These old stuffs come to light again. Holding and observing them carefully, you feel both familiar and a little strange.

If you have such things that you once familiar with and spent time on, but want to get rid of at present, please send them to me and allow me to take a picture of the old times.
