It is a sad day in my life, for today marks the death of my Digital Rebel. I was on a road trip to Takamatsu, and during a pit-stop I looked up at the sky and saw sun rays breaking through the cloud-filled sky shining upon the mountains in the distance. As I set up to take a photograph of this beautiful sight, my camera shut down and refused to wake up again. I've tried several things to bring her back, but nothing worked.

She has served me well over the years and captured many memories. R.I.P. my Little Rebel.

Of course, I never go anywhere alone, so my Rebel always traveled with her big brother Elan. So, the remainder of my trip was captured in slides. We must never forget film. The convenience of digital photography comes at a price.

You will be succeeded by the Rebel XSi, but never forgotten. I miss you already, Little Rebel.
