When the lens lost it's voice...
It simply died. Click, Click, Click, Click....silence. The Canon ceased to function. The voice over the phone: "....therefore the motherboard is no longer recieving power."
The Canon is out of commision just as my holiday arrives...just as the oppurtunity to travel presents itself. It is time to pursue other creative venues- wax, pastels, and alternative photo processes. A return to the sketchbook- the pencil, ink, pastels and charcole.

maybe some poloroid action.....
