Anticipating that a newer version will be announced shortly, I sold my trusted Canon 7D body this evening to an up-and-coming photographer. Unlike lenses which retain much of their initial value (especially when purchased second-hand), the market for cameras is quite the opposite. The rate of technological innovation is very rapid making a 3-year-old body about as desirable as an equally old computer. At this point, the next-generation camera is not going to improve my photography but I do take pleasure in using state-of-the-art tools.

I found an indoor soccer team from Acton to play with for the next session and contributed one goal and four assists in my first appearance for them. I was then recruited to play a second game with a team that was short of players. I have a lot of work to do to get in shape for the outdoor season. I played well enough but was dragging my butt by the end of the game. No injuries and another goal for the night so I have nothing to complain about.
