Everything Has An End



Winter ends, spring ends, summer ends, fall ends, snow melts, rain evaporates. I can go on and on. They do end yet they come back. Cycle of life, we call it.

Now, my camera Canon 20D finally took its last breath on February 21st after probably just over 100 thousand shots. It happened to get the continuous shutter clicking syndrome which happened when I took it outside for photographing (-15C at least). Reading about it I found that my shutter is definitely gone. Should I replace the shutter on the 20D, or this must be a coincidence because I been having a big temptation to get the 7D? May be its time for an upgrade. However, I had a plan for two cameras, because I just hate changing lenses (and getting dust), and I wouldn't mind having at least two lenses always ready to shoot. I might see, may be if I get good price on 7D, I will repair the 20D also.

Here I am leaving you with one of the last photographs I took with my original 20D. We still have winter in effect, but hasn't been that cold, and as I will be missing out on the photo shooting for few weeks, I know that winter will be back next year.
