Today, I grieve at the passing of a loved one.

He gave all his years and dedication to our company. Working tirelessly, day after day, resting only when the rest of us did. He was never fazed by the constant changes in the editorial team, and the changes in partners. He worked without a word of complaint, only giving his best

He was a dear friend to me. A great partner at work. Although I had to admit we had our differences at the start, exchanged several vulgar words, we managed to work through that, and then he was an indispensable part of my working life.

Some people said I became biased towards him after awhile, preferring to consult his expertise on my personal work over anyone else’s. But I couldn’t help it. I had become so familiar with him that it was almost second nature to have him around to help me. 

On the first of February this year, at 12.15pm, he finally decided it was time for him to depart. Without any warning, he gave up his last breath. There were no signs of sickness or weakness, or any signs of aging. He was strong till the very last assignment. And I was there with him.

He was greatly loved, and he shall be greatly missed.

Rest in peace, my dear Canon EOS D60.

Work is never gonna be the same without you.
