The changes around me suggest a new phase in my life is about to occur. Have you ever felt this way?

The above photo shows the tram track at Manchester’s Metrolink Deansgate-Castlefield station. Like the tram’s journey, the changes around me are huge enough to cause a drastic change that will affect my life. The question now is what lies ahead? When should I take that bold step to leave the station for the next phase of my life?

I'm missing the greener-warmer days we had. The photo shows Bridgewater Canal along Canal Street. This shot was taken from Minshull Street on 8 September 2013.

This shot was taken sometime back during 19 September 2013. Surprising, I managed to capture this shot handheld with my Canon PowerShot SX20 IS.

I’m back finally. It has taken forever to get my laptop repaired. Glad that the episode has been over, so I should be blogging as normal again. Thanks for your patience. This photo was taken about 2 months back, featuring the façade of the surrounding buildings in Manchester’s Albert Square.

While waiting for my laptop to be repaired, I managed to reflect on my blog and equipment. It’s been 4 years since I got my Canon SX20 IS and now I want to upgrade it. I’ve read a lot about Mirrorless cameras: especially Micro Four Thirds format. These reports got me very excited about these types of cameras. However, I’ve also came across articles that suggest the Mirrorless market may not last. These reports only provide small pockets of the bigger picture about the camera market. Therefore, I would like to hear your views and experience on Mirrorless cameras.
