Just my two cents and I'm in a terrible therapy hangover so bear with me:
For me the clocks represented confusion with when to arrive, when to leave and what to believe. You said you didn't trust your own watch, so if you think you need to go have a session NOW but you think he thinks you should wait...there is a conflict and confusion about what to do. And I agree with what someone else said about it all being related to terminations.
The camera is really interesting. A freeze frame of who you were at a session that is really deep and important to you. So you must have been exposed emotionally. And he wants to capture it and contain it. Freeze it. And you won't let him. Because you are worried that this is the you he will remember? Because you don't want to stay this contained? Because pictures are about memories and you don't want to be a memory yet?
I'm not sure about the anger at ruining the other pictures, you didn't say if they were of you or of other people. But if you have ruined the other pictures of yourself by having this tantrum over the camera...that sounds a lot like what has been going on for you the past few months. If it was other people on the role, I'm not sure.
However - My therapist would say, "what do you think it all means? And what feelings are called up?" (I'd actually really like to know.)
