  • Dude, be happy you had all those years with your mom. Great people die everyday. The only thing certain in life, is death. I say this because my aunt (who had 2 children) died of cancer when her kids (my cousins) were only 5 and 7 years old. Just this passed year, a classmate's mom died of cancer. You're right, it sucks... but part of life; is death.

  • Jared, I just stumbled across this video and have to say how touched I am by it.

    I have no doubt in my mind that your Mum would be incredibly proud of what you've achieved, and what you'll continue to in the future.

    Her legacy rests with you.

    You've inspired me, least I do in return is show my support and spread the word.

    Long live the Fro :)

  • Lost my dad this year, so unfortunately I know very well what you're saying, brother. Keep the spirits high. Greetings from Curitiba-Brazil. PS. I'm wearing my SHOOT RAW shirt right now. ;-)

  • Jared, I'm going to be completely honest with you. You are an amazing teacher and friend. Even though we've never met in person, I do still consider you a friend. You have taught me literally, everything I know about photography and it's landed me multiple jobs just from the things you've said over the last year that I've watched you. I know how it is to loose someone as close as your mom so I feel you 100%. Stay strong man and keep doing what your doing.

  • Jared, the way that you teach people about photography is incredible.. you get to us like no other teacher or person can.. you make it fun, you're an inspiration to alot of us and thanks to you and the huge inspiration you gave me, I began photography not so long ago and in every video you make, I learn something new, so for that.. Thank you. and not only from me, from everyone that watches your videos (:

  • god bless your momma jared....

  • wow

  • Stay strong my friend... thanks for another wonderful year of teaching...

  • youre a cool guy Jared..it takes courage to share like that...much respect....

  • I wish, we all could be so open to other people and be able to show what really is important in our lives.

    I realy love you videos and i learnd a lot from you,

    I an a hufe fan of you,

    and i just want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing this story,

    blessings from israel

  • Just wanted to say thanks for sharing... I know it's hard. I lost my brother just under 3 years ago, under different circumstances...but he's still gone and nothing will ever change that. I visit his grave often...maybe to much, but I think it helps. Just hang in there and you're right...she is proud of you and I'm sure she's looking over you helping guide the way of your future. Again, thank you for sharing and all your hard work.

  • Thanks for sharing, Jared.

  • Stay Strong Bud. Stay Strong.

  • Who the Fuck dislikes this video ?

  • I cried watching this. <3

  • I have a new found respect to you, bro. Stay strong.

  • my Mom died too :( and her name was Sharon as well. I was only 3 when she passed and its true it never got easier and it only got harder the older I got. Just realizing everything I missed, everything she missed.

  • You sir are doing a great thing.

  • Big up to you bro. Rest in peace to all the mothers who have passed away.

  • I cried a little with you Jared. I am truely sorry for your loss.

  • Great Video, very cool sunset......

  • You are the loyalest person I've seen

  • Respect to you, Respect to your Mom, She would be very proud, Look at your channel, you have 55,753 subscribers, in other words, you have 55,753 pupils who are learning and progressing because of you. Thank You Jared.

  • Time heals, but the pain never goes away!

  • 11 are going to hell!!

  • The thing with the stone's interesting. Sincere condolences. Respect for opening up like that. Be strong. :)

    And what's up with some people, why shouldn't you be allowed to upload a video on a holiday... Also, you don't have to watch it. The title of this video definitely contains "story behind the fro", so if you're not interested in his person, then just only watch his photography related videos...

  • I feel your pain bro. My brother died sep 2001. i'm a year older than him. he was 4 yrs old back then. i still feel the pain every Christmas cuz its his birthday. you gave many people in the internet inspiration. THANKYOU! more power!

  • YouTube promote this kids page as photography page, as well as the name of his site. Thats why I subscribe to it - to get revews of the cameras. It's holidays(not for jews, I guess:), so you watching your subscribtion list and see a new video from that funny photo dude.. u click on it, and after two minutes in.. u just like.. what the f..? He should call his page FroKnowsShit and shit all he wants, nobody will leave a negative coments, cause no one gonna watch it. Thanks for spoiled Christmas!

  • @COOLFILMS2011 Wait, what is your problem with that video? I'm not joking nor joking around I really want to know what is it that bothers you?

  • Felt that man. Respect.

  • the moment u talked about the rock , i felt u r real emotions, you are one of those good people on this earth .... i learned photography from u , god bless u man !

  • it never gets any easier.. you just learn to cope with it better with time.

  • Big respect for opening up like that. Must be tough. Total respect for what you do!!

  • Jared your mother is always with you. Her spirit is always around and she is ALWAYS watching over you. She is proud for everything you have done and how you have helped so many people. Don't ever forget that. You have brought smiles, laughs, tears and knowledge to me and many other people. I cant thank you more. You are a lovable, helping, kind person. Just as I assume you mother was. You have a gift of helping others just as your mother did. She couldn't be more proud of you Jared.

  • Wow some people hate this video? Disgusting to remember a mother? What's wrong?

  • cried with you man

  • No, it's not time to regret. You're already doing the best thing as a son. You're taking care of Lil, which extends all the good things you've learned from your mom. This is one of the things that should make you proud.

    Keep it up man, we're all with you.

  • A truly touching video. Thank you for what you're doing in teaching others about photography and following your mom's legacy. I know I have learned a lot, especially about the passion one should have for what they do. An extra prayer of comfort and blessing to you and your this time of year.

  • Thank you for sharing a piece of the person within the man through this video. I can relate to having a picture in your head of your mom on her death bed; I have one of my father in-law. Remain strong and don't stop what you're doing, your Mom would be proud that you're continuing her legacy of teaching.

  • This was really emotional; you're a great man Jared and a complete inspiration.

  • Tks for sharing Jared.

  • if u didnt feel at least something from watchin this, your dead or a sociopath.

  • Stay strong man. We love you!

  • i admire you so much Jared.

  • I just posted to this link thinking it was "Large Farva". I watched your videos and realized my mistake. On top of this, I lost my Mom to cancer back in 2001. I know the pain you are going through. I'm glad you celebrate your Mom every... I am sure every day. She deserves it and you did well by her. Nothing will ever replace my Mom and when I see something funny, witty, and exciting, it reminds me of her.

    I'm positive you've made your mother very proud as I am sure I have made mine.

  • what a great mom, brought us a great person and teacher ..

    RIP mom .. hugs from Saudi Arabia ..

  • Love you man, I've learned so much in the past year watching all your video's. You've brought me so far and I'm sure your mom would would be sure proud of you and all that you've done. I fight the same battles inside me my dad past last december, and I know what your feeling man. I'm sure we both are making are loved ones proud and happy of us. Keep your head up you do great things.

    Mike O.

  • Jared..be thankful for what you have and what you have had. and be thankful for the knowledge that even if a spec of what you teach helps someone somewhere on the the road to there dreams then all that you do will have been worth it

  • Jared, my respect. You are an amazing teacher. Keep what you are doing!!

    Many fans from Madrid, Spain send you many hugs!!

  • You mum has taught you a lot, and from that, you've been keeping it up, teaching others, and seriously?! are there people who still think that the internet is just a "THING"?!?!? C'mom guys, as yall can see, this is Jared Polin... FRO KNOOOWWS PHOTOOOOO, and he IS a human being, and he loves, he hates, and in an non cute note he SHITS! dahaha, so yeah, please, believe it, the internet equals to real world, there are love, hate and danger! We love ya Fro! *hugs*

  • Jared, thank you for sharing such a beautiful moment and helping to remind us to be grateful for our families and for what we have, to be there for family as much as we can because many of us live life expecting them to always be there. I cannot understand your pain as I've never experienced such a loss but we are all here for you and you continue to inspire us with every video! May your mom rest in peace, I'm so sure she is so proud of you.

  • R.I.P Fromom

  • You are an amazing person! From seeing this video and watching you with Lil, it makes me smile that there are still "real" people out there. Okay, so I do catch some of your photography tips also - which have made my hobby a little more enjoyable. Thank you for being YOU - wow, your Mom is very very proud of you!

  • i love u jared , hugs from israel :) Happy Hanukka

  • We take pictures to capture a moment, true photographers can bring the feeling out so the camera can capture the emotion, the soul, if the picture is the soul of the captured emotion then we can say we have done our job right.

    fro you have captured your emotion.

  • We Love You Jared! Cry your eyes out. it's ok. thanks for sharing with us.

  • Jared, Coming from a family that had it's up and down's I know how you feel I lost 3 of my closest uncles at a young age same with my cousin who died in the line of duty cause some guy who was on a cell phone while driving didn't pay attention like he needed to do while driving.

    I enjoy the videos you make here on YouTube and I learn many things about holding up the iPhone to take better pictures. I don't know much about DSLR cameras let alone how to take better pictures but I am learning.

  • Respect

  • Beautiful video man! Very emotional, you got to be strong, just as you are! Keep holding on!

  • Respect.

  • Much respect man God bless you I have learned from your videos ..

  • You are an inspiration Jared. Thank you for everything you bring to your audience. Very best from the UK.

  • How is this self-indulgent? It's the same thing as writing in a diary. It helps to talk about it, even if it's to a camera.

  • Respect

  • @JaredPolin I don't think most people truly understand the pain of losing a parent until they've actually been through it. Don't worry about all these douche bag haters on here. I lost my father seven years ago and have cried more times than I care to admit this holiday season. I don't really have a shoulder to cry on, my friends don't want to get involved, they don't know what to say. I think this is a great way for you to vent and grieve. Keep doing what you do man. I love the videos!

  • I believe that this is my first comment on one of your videos. I love your photo related videos, your knowledge, your attitude are a huge inspiration to me. To say...that this video was 'wonderful' would not suit your vulnerability. But I am filled with gratitude that you not only shared such an intimate part of yourself with us...but yet again are an inspiration. THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!!!

  • @thanae thank you.

  • Respect

  • Guys, have some respect. Fro, keep doing what you're doing, brother. We're with you. Best wishes.

  • Why are they 8 thumbs down?

  • Hey Fro many thanks for this very personal video. it's a great gift for us all that you show your real feelings the hole wide world.

    I don't know you but I feel with you. So I have must cry the one or the another tears as I hear your great words about your mom. God bless her...and don't give up Fro...You're making your way and your mum it always proud about you. And take care about Lil.

    Best regards from Germany

  • I would really like to thank you Jared. You're the first person who introduced me into taking RAW photos. I never saw of the point of it until you said the difference. My photography has improved so much with that step. I watched a lot of your videos for lectures. Thanks for helping me discover my unknown talent. Your mother was a great person. May her soul rest in peace.

  • @ZOOT1000100 first off, there is the same amount of photo videos that there have been in the past. Not sure how you do not see that. This video was put up on a SUNDAY during a holiday which is a day that I normally do not post videos. But come Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and many Saturdays you have PHOTO RELATED VIDEOS. So please go do your homework before you say that there have been less photo related videos. Thanks

  • @JaredPolin you tell em jared! @Zoot1000100 just hit the un-subscribe button. he doesn't need a viewer like you.

  • @JaredPolin - "do your homework" ? Who the heck do you think you are? Professor of photography? You place misleading title on the video and misleadind title of the site! It's like being invited to the wedding and getting to the funerals instead! - "Sorry bud, but today no wedding, I want you to do funerals, it's metter to me and I dont give a fuck about yours feelings.. New Year? Holidays? I'm a jew, dont give a shit about your stupid holidays!.." U have no respect to anybody, fkn asshole!

  • @ArgrowImages your an idiot!

  • @ArgrowImages It's pretty normal to see all kinds of brain dead bullshit comments on youtube, but the comments left by this asshole and a few others just blow me away. What is wrong with you people? Why would you even type out this bullshit? If you really have a problem with this page, then don't come back. Simple. Saying what you said is unnecessary to say the least. You are the worst type of people.

    By the way, there are 854 videos on HIS channel, at least 95% are photo related.

  • @JaredPolin You are truly an inspiration Jared, because of you I have done things in film and photography I could have only dreamed of. Many people in this world love the things that you do, and you do not even know them. Hold onto the support people give you and use the critics are your fuel. Keep up the great work, I watch nearly all of your videos. I filmed my latest student film with a DSLR thanks to your inspiration. God Bless Jared

  • @CarloMonteCarlo Dude, Please Shut the fuck up. I hope Jared blocks you.

  • @CarloMonteCarlo what the hells your problem ?

    its his channel his wish, you can just unsubscribe !

    you are disgusting !

    cant spell cancer for shit !

  • @CarloMonteCarlo / if you're disgusting , just unsubscribe or let this video pass

    no need to post any comment.

  • @CarloMonteCarlo That is so disrespectful, you should be ashamed of yourself.

    I love Jared's photo related videos but that's also because he shows his viewers that he is human. If you don't like these kind of videos, just don't watch them. Don't start hating because some one has feelings.

    Maybe you should have a talk with a shrink because you can't sympathise.

  • Virtual hugs from Argentina, SouthAmerica!....

  • Huge Huge Cyber hug Jared you had me in tears, your such a wonderful son I'm sure your mom is looking down at your and proud-3

  • We're all proud of you Jared. I'm sure that if your Mom was here, she would be too.

    Thanks for sharing, it's tough sometimes.

  • I always had an interest in photography, but Jared inspired me to officially get into it. Without him, I wouldn't be shooting today. You're a great person Jared, thank you!!!!

  • The most obvious fact in life is death in which we all shall taste. I think i speak for many here when i say i have learnt so much from you bro, I really enjoy your videos and wish you all the best in the years to come God willing! Stay strong man!

    We all belong to Allah/God and to Him shall we return! Peace, God bless!

  • Hey Jared, I usually don't comment on youtube but I'm touched with this video and the other video you made last year. You are a good man. I specially like the videos you make with your grandma Lil. Continue what you're doing and more power to you. God bless you bro and be strong!

  • yo te comprendo no es facil .siempre e visto tus videos son buenos pero me costaba entender tu personalidad hoy pienso que si se quien eres .

  • You ARE strong, man. You ARE strong. A real man is true to himself and others and is not afraid to show emotion such as this. Thanks for this and all the knowledge and experience you share with us on an almost daily basis. I'm still rockin the Japan relief RAW shirt. Love to wear it when I'm throwing down on some sushi at my favorite joint in Detroit. Here's wishing you an even more prosperous New Year.

  • Thank you for your transparency.

  • Now I'm even more glad I found you and your channel...

    -Fellow Bucks Co. guy

  • Fro, my mom passed away in 2009 too. She passed away a day before my birthday. Your mom was a beautiful person. I hope everything is okay with you during these holidays. Your video really moved me.

  • Thank you Jared for sharing your knowledge of photography with everyone. I've been pursing photography for nearly three years now, keep in mind I'm only 18. And I've learned most of what I know through your videos. Again, I thank you for your time and this is a very special moment that I'm happy you shared with us. Keep up the good work, I'm sure your Mom couldn't have been anymore proud.
