It's the right decision for the times. My best mate in Canada has done the same, he was a professional photographer and taught at Uni and struggled to keep his business going - up and sold the lot, freeing himself from what had become a burden disguised as art. He's much happier now, and he was at it for fifty years. The proliferation of people walking around with camera phones has devalued the profession and quality photographs. Every selfie taker fancies themselves as a photographer - Ansel Adams woud be spinning in his grave. I got rid of all my film based equipment years ago but have kept my old Pentax KX match needle camera, my dad's old Argus, and my Grand fathers old Brownie - that's all they are now links to the past.
