Sad news, folks.  My trusty Canon G10 has died.  Here we have her last picture.  :( Try as I might, I couldn’t get her to accept commands, so she wouldn’t focus properly or switch between functions.  While I like the picture, and often try to get the crisp background like this, I would have preferred it to be on my terms.
Don’t cry for her.  She had a good life and saw many amazing things.  Her passing is just a part of the cycle, and the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills.  Some might see this as a bad thing, but I like to remember that I’m around to take pictures and I’m taking pictures of things I create.  Take solace in knowing she was a boon companion for more than a decade.
With the post-holiday slump in sales, it might be awhile before I’m posting anything of the goings-on here at Three Rivers Forge, but I’ll continue to post images of wonderful hand-forged ironwork of days long gone.  As soon as I’m able, rest assured that I’ll be back with more original images of things crafted on my anvil.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Â Your company is much appreciated!
