Glenn, just dont give up the photography. It is your art and I know you love it. Call me or write to me if you want. I'm here for you. Please dont shut down on your life. I did on mine and it was awful for a long time. Things will get better. I promiss. You have a lot of friends who are your support network. Talk to them. Talking does help. And so does petting your cat.
And as for the thief - you stole from my friend. You stole his livelyhood and his art. YOU SUCK!!
It's interesting how I get different things from these comments on different re-readings. Today your comment made me think of the people I run into who say, "Oh, I used to play [musical instrument] a long time ago," and I wonder why they stopped ... and sometimes it's because it was never important enough to them, but other times it's for stupid or bordering-on-tragic reasons, and it always seems like their giving up has caused the world an unfair loss (this even though I don't know how good they were or weren't). I guess I almost became one of those people with regard to photography.
