The celebration of the life of a dear friend

Sony P10 Camera
November 5, 2003 - July 13, 2005
R.I.P.

I bought my camera on credit. I couldn't afford the $450, but Office Max takes credit cards, so I ended up paying much more than that. It wasn't my first camera, but it was the my first digital camera and the first camera I actually used.

I loved using my camera. I loved the 3x zoom, the five megapixel resolution, the wrist strap that kept it secure, and the small size that let me carry it everywhere. I learned to take pictures on that camera. Ask anyone who ever traveled with me, I was border-line fanatical about the pictures I took. I have so many memories from that camera. Not only the great pictures it could take, but oddly enough, memories of toting it around. I have some fond memories of that camera.

Today at 4:45 PM (GMT +1:00) my Sony P10 passed from my possesion to a random stranger at the Halepoort station in Brussels. It will probably continue to take great pictures, but unfortunately, they won't be for me.

Thank you for the memories.

Alas, it was filched from my backpack. I saw the guys who did it too, but once the metro moves on there's not much you can do about it...
