Thinking of quitting and becoming a nun....

[Shay Hendrix]

...ok, maybe not the nun bit!! But i'm thinking of quitting. Anyone who can convince me otherwise, get in touch....

Don't quit, but come back closer to London...

babe nobody should sway you either way, do what u feel is best xx

You have to do what you feel is right... there is no doubt your fans love you though....

See that's the thing, or ONE of the things; i HATE London!! Sorry to anyone who lives there or loves it, but i actually feel sick when i know i have to go there. I get travel sick so i always have to drive in. It's so expensive, and smelly, and 4 hours away from my home.
Yesterday i had 3 shoots for next month cancelled on me. Bang! ?900 lost in one day. That's a LOT of money!! I guess after 4 years in the business don't we all start to get a bit jaded? :S
Meh! Sorry to moan!

Shay,
As a photog that has never managed to arrange a shoot with you I will be very sorry to see you go. As a fan there will always be your pic's and video to look at and wonder.
Shay I don't like London either, thats why I live in Kent? Have you thought of a re-envent of yourself, a make over so too speak? Do what you fell is the right thing to do. But give me a chance to get up north to shoot you before you go.

Rob.

Shay,
From your post I assume you have had a few bad weeks with a number of cancellations. Unfortunately I understand that is not uncommon to both models and togs.
All I know is that Jess West spoke very highly of you when I had my shoot with her last week, and I know you are highly regarded on here, and you will be missed.

Although I have never met you, I wish you all the best in whatever you wish to do, even if you don't take Holy Orders. But if you do that will certainty create a interest in the convent you join.

By the way what is your location?, has I always thought you lived in the South East.
It could be that many Northern and Midlands togs( photographers) and producers think the same and do not contact you with offers of work.

You have mail hun x

Rob, it's not so much a lack of work, it's lack of reliable work i suppose. I'm fully booked now until May, but i seem to be having a spate of cancellations, and the driving long distances has taken it's toll on my back. I'm now daily on painkillers.
Nikonman, i lived in Reading a year ago, but am back home in North Wales now (close to Chester and Liverpool). Hence why it now takes me 4 hours to get to London, or anywhere else down south really.
Monica, i know. I'm not sure i could go back to a normal job though!
