I didn't really appreciate photography as an artform. I just thought that, while the view is lovely and you get some amazing shots, the art itself was merely captured, not created unless they were organizing a shoot or something. But, these photos are striking. They invoke aspects of living. Like, the man in the boat with all the seagulls around him. To me, it paints the picture of how I feel in regards to my depression and anxiety disorders. I (the man) feel weighed down by them and it feels like everyone else (the birds) can function and move among each other and get things done without the crushing black and chaotic thoughts pulling them down. Photographs, in general, don't invoke such feelings in me. The black and white imagery, in my opinion, captures what it's like to live with depression and anxiety. Often with a lone person. Such mental illnesses can make one feel alone. It pays to remember that there are other people suffering the same things. We are never alone.

Just gorgeous!
