Number of photos doesn't count for anything...I have literally hundreds of photos of ferrets but in comparison only a few of the important people in my life!

Live your life, pick up and carry on. Might sound harsh but you cant stay in this phase of grief for much longer or you'll drive yourself absolutely mad. Sure, grieve for as long as you need to but do it in a different way.
I like Al's suggestion of doing something in his memory :)
Look at the photos and try to remember happy times, times of laughter and joy. Rather than remembering that he is gone remember when he was here.
You know you can talk to me if you want or need to, you know I've been there. You also know that if you need space I'll give it.
