My Dad’s Way Of Dealing With His Midlife Crisis: A Game Of Thrones Inspired Photoshoot

ADVERTISEMENT

My dad turned 50 this year and he wanted something special. So he organized a trip to Cornwall with my mother, brother, me and 2 of my best friends: a badass photographer, Sheridan’s Art, and an amazing makeup artist: Kika Von Macabre

We came up with a storyline about a landlord:

Meet Cornish landlord Goron as he is forced to fight for king Mordred against evil forces threatening the kingdom. After fierce battles on the cornish coast, Goron returns as a true hero. Being jealous of his success Mordred sends out Gwenora, a blue witch, to seduce Goron to the dark side, turning him against his own people. Torn between two worlds, Goron ultimately finds the power to confront Gwenora in an ultimate battle.

Will he succeed?

If you are young - it is a hobby. If you are older - it is a Midlife Crisis. Weird world...

Sad, isn't it? These photos don't depict a man having a mid-life crisis. The person who wrote the article is the one who has a problem with his age. All I see is a man and his family having an EPIC time! And I wish I was right there, all dressed up, having my photos taken, too. I've been to Adventure Con and Comic Con, and just this past Halloween I went to Gatlinburg, and every single person in that entire town were dressed in costume! Not one of these events were for 'kids only'. And they were PACKED with people of all ages, from newborn to elderly (maybe in their 80s or older), and they were having a GREAT TIME! Nowadays, there is no age limit when it comes to having fun. It's when you STOP having fun... THAT'S when you grow old. But even those in their 90s can be young at heart. Age is just a number, after all.

Very awesome photoshoot!!! A midlife crisis is nothing more then a society that keeps its inhabitants captured to a point that they can't really make a difference any more...

your fam has a great sense of humour and i love your imagination, but the way that evil witch seductress is dressed is just contributing to stereotypes about eastern dressed women. maybe next time we could make the witch look different yeah
