–
“You can never go back.” So the saying goes.
Today I dusted off an old camera I haven’t used in years — the Nikon D70.
The D70 was the first DSLR I ever owned, and it’s the only camera I never subsequently sold.
I’ve carried it through the streets of Toronto, in all sorts of weather.
We’ve also traveled together to New York City, Paris, and Athens.
A few of the people I’ve photographed with it are no longer with us.
But I was reminded today that, indeed, you can never go back.
