Goodbye to An Old Friend: Sigma 18-250 mm 1;3.5-6.

In Namibia’s embrace, where desert meets ocean’s grace, my friend met its sandy fate — lost in dunes, awash in salt. Farewell, dear Sigma, selfies now grainy, landscapes left to roam alone, becoming one with the metal that shapes the Namib’s dunes.

In the quirky world of 2020 pandemic-era life, my partner and I had to pivot from visas and jobs to volunteering and dabbling in design. Hunting online work was like seeking a unicorn. Our travel dreams got COVID-cancelled and left in limbo. Then, we navigated treacherous waters of cryptocurrency scams and stumbled on a low-key Bitcoin miner, Computta.
