Today I mourn the loss of a good friend. She was a kind soul, who went along with all of my crazy ideas, poses and adventures.  She always paid attention. She was always there to help me to see things more clearly. I have a record stored of all of the things she saw through her single eye.  We bonded back in the year 2006.  She was my first assistant.

Replacing her today was bittersweet.   I shook my head, remembering the good times, as I forked over another $2,000 to bring the new young blood along onto my team.

She was a grand ol’ lens. She never had a name, but she was well loved.

We had a great run, ol’ girl.  Thanks for helping me to see the light, and for always looking on the bright side.
