I said good-bye to a very good friend tonight. As those of you who know me well are already aware, I tend to bond more with hardware then humans. Nothing personal, but I find most folks either boring or disappointing. There are exceptions, of course, and you know who you are.
Anyway, my Canon digital rebel was a good friend of mine. It was my first real camera, and allowed me to get back in touch, to some degree, with the artistic part of myself I thought I had left behind years ago. We traveled together, and captured feelings and images to share with the rest of the world. To some degree, this machine helped me express to the rest of the world that I'm not just the problem solving machine I probably come across as. There's sights I see that touch me deeply, and if I can keep learning how to express those feelings with other people I might just move towards being less of an asshole.
We had some good times, but I moved on. I've got a better machine, but that doesn't mean I don't feel a little something when I let the old one go. The good news? It's going to a great home. Apparently, there's a kinda stripper ad/pr0n mag in town called sfx effects (supposed to look like sex effects when you're drunk). The guy who bought the camera is using it to shoot naked chicks. I can dig it.
Rock on, you little silver toy. I'll miss you. Snap some T&A for me.
