If the lens packing up pushed you over the edge, get your own back, try a different way of image making.
My suggestion......You like high quality still life, medium format is so cheep on Ebay, sort yourself out a nice 'Blad or RB kit and learn a whole new set of photographic skills.
We'll be 'aving you in a darkroom in no time!
hmm not something I've ever thought about for still life, thanks Keith may well look into that one at some stage

for a while anyhow, I said somewhere else I often have feelings of jacking it all in and my only everyday lens went clunk at the weekend and is hanging on by a thread. So kit (lmao if that's what you call it) is on ebay. 5p listing day
You'll be back, I have no doubt about that. During various changes in my life photography has taken a back seat; but I've always returned to it again, and always with more enthusiasm than before.

Dear Tanya,
I am sure you know your own mind best. Your beautiful B&W still life photos still have pride of place on our wall, and always will. You are a very capable and talented photographer, and your work inspired me to take photography up again.
May I suggest, as others have done, that you don't give it up completely? Try a different aspect - I have a feeling you would create excellent work whatever you turn your hand to. Try film, try infra-red, try portraiture...
Whatever you try, I'd be very interested to see the results!
And whatever you do, I wish you the best of luck.
With great affection and respect, Geoff.

Crikey Geoff had forgotten all about those, how have they lasted, have they faded? they were printed on a 950 I think!

Good god Tan....................you can't possibly even think of jacking it in! It's just too horrible a thought to even contemplate! A talent like yours deserves to be nurtured and it would be an absolute tragedy and a great loss to photography if we were to be deprived of one of the most impressive and aspiring photographic talents I have had the pleasure to witness in many's a long year! I'm shocked and dumbfounded to think that you are even considering such a radical decision. No, I won't hear of it! I order you to get some new kit forthwith (even if it is that old Nikon rubbish! ) and put such foolish "quitting" notions out of your head..........................the Tanya I know and love is no "quitter" just because circumstances temporarily conspire against her! Take a break by all means but don't ever scare the sh1t out of us all (and especially me!) by ever considering such a preposterous notion..............................BigWill has decreed that it be so!
Big(In shock! )Will
What Will said, with bells on!
My first reaction was - nonoNO, not you!!
Put it on the backburner for a bit, but don't sell your camera... You have far too much talent to let it go to waste. Honestly and truly.
