awesome.. really touching..
So sorry to hear of your loss.
Couldn't agree more. Not sure if you posted here to get reactions to your very sad story, but this is not a reason to drop everything and give up. I would say this is now the perfect opportunity to throw yourself into it wholesale and completely and totally and the extra time you will sadly have on your hands can be concentrated on networking with people on here, going on studio shoots, getting to know people and the models and ideas will come your way, word of mouth and a little bit of nouse.....
Everyone has a bit of a kicking sometimes, me included, but its how you use those times.....and this is to your advantage now. Use it wisely and enjoy what you love....don't give up, ever......your mother would never have wanted you to. Make her proud at least.....

Sad, very sad story. Bereavement, the loss of the last of a generation, selling and moving - all are traumatic. Don't let the dream die, but allow yourself some time for healing. Mick is completely right above, and it's never too late to try again.

Can't add to what others have already but don't give up on your dreams.
Striving to fulfil our dreams is too important to give up! Keeping reaching for the stars! This is a fascinating image. All those model heads remind me of the contravensial display hanging from the ceiling in Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow! A little spooky, but fascinating.

So sad a story - new beginings are exciting though... even if it is sad and scary at first - who needs a studio anyway - there is always a good window somewhere!!! My favorite window is over a rather dodgy old sink - doesn't look cool but keeps you on your toes with the challenge!!!
Really good luck,
Pauline

Sorry for your loss, but you must agree 98 is a good innings even though the last few years could not have been easy for you!
My photographic advice, for what it's worth, is to get away from the house and try a few new / different projects on something like landscape or natural history, and then, when you have come to terms with your loss, continue to persue your portraiture ambition

Sorry for you loss, and I know that you had a hard time with this. We dealt with an older parent with Alzheimer's also.
But I echo what has been said above, that you should give yourself some time for healing, and go after another course in photography.
Thanks also for this image. I'm trying to set up some lighting in my house, and it was good to see this set-up. The wigs were a surprise, and maybe I'll get one of those for myself!

Don't give up !! I went through a ''bad patch'' many years ago.In a fit of madness,I threw every bit of darkroom equipment I had in a skip,and set fire to all my pics and negs in my back garden.!! It is something I bitterly regret to this day !! Give yourself a little break to recapture your thoughts.And anything you do,ask yourself, ''could I regret this in the future'' !!

Nice to see you have started to add more pictures. Don't give matey. I lost both mine in the same year and that knocked me down to the ground. But they knew i liked taking photo's and they would be cross if i give up. So i got up off the floor and started getting the camera back into action. And im sure they are very happy with me. Ps i miss them soooo much. As for models do you have friends with children or wifes or girlfriends.Even aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters There,s lots of ideas here for you. Sometimes i have to chase after them until they give in. Im still trying to find a women who is prenant an is willing to let me photograph her. And im not getting the wife pregnant just to take some photos, now that would turn out expensive.
Sorry about the bad news!
I always believe that as one door closes, another door opens. I hope for, and wish you all the best in whatever you find behind that door!
Regards,
peter.

So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. How wonderful though that she made it to 98! HOLD FAST TO YOUR DREAMS! Although it is difficult we all must at some point in our lives put the past behind us and move on. Grieve_because one must, take care of what must be taken care of then throw yourself into your dream!
God bless,
Patti

I hope you can come to terms with your loss and cope with the organisational nightmare that it entails. Maybe a change of dreams is called for here - landscapes or macro. There is so much that you can turn your talent to. Good luck.
Sorry for your loss. My mum went in 1972 with cancer aged 48yrs.
I was called out for the third time in 24 hrs yesterday to my 87yr old dad, trouble with his TV. Num1 he broke the digi box, num2 he had turned the tv off with the remote, num3 no sound - he had pressed mute then picked up the box and dislodged the scart lead.
Happy days, should be grateful we still have him.

I agree with the sentiment of Mick & others. Don't give up on your dreams. Sort yourself out, get a new place if you have to, & keep plugging away. Surely Model Mayhem isn't the only agency? It'll be their loss if they miss out on your talent (I'm particularly refering to "True Friends").
Best of luck for the future, mate.

Oh my goodness - this is so touching. I am so sorry and hope that you will continue on with your art. I admire your talent and much appreciate your helpful comments on my photos.
Sending you happy vibes

Hey - don't give up - no-one wants to model for me either!! You need to join a photography club (if there is one nearby) or start your own and have an evening where you pay for a model to come in - your Mum sounded like a great old lady I am sure you miss her a lot - Jude.
Ditto all above, Loss is tragic, as your personal loss is to you, your talent and eye for photography (which looking at your pf, you clearly have) would be a loss to many. Life is fleeting, pictures live on. All the very best - Tracy
really sorry to hear of your loss. Don't give up - you've got great talent

Sorry to hear of your loss ~ Not the end of a dream, just a new chapter and perhaps time to move on to new work.

Hi Gerry,
I am new to Photozine. I can see from this photo you have a lot of very good friends. One of the reasons I love my camera so much is it use as a sense of escapism. So Gerry pick up your camera again and give them the photo they have been waiting for, come back and join in the fun. you have got a week ! I will be waiting and watching. best wishes
