WOW. YOU ARE TRULEY TALENTED. THE PICTURES ARE AMAZING. I TOO, FOUGHT DEPRESSION. I FOUND I HAD TO GET BACK TO MY ART. PLEASE CONTINUE.

So glad you found photography William, your photos are brilliant and inspiring... Good luck in the future with your photography..

The depression opened your unconscious and allowed you to see the beauty on a deep level some may never know! Amazing shots! Full of heart

Such hopeful light in each one. A serenity and comfort too. Amazing beauty. Well done.

Beautiful photos...made even more so by the story of your depression.

You know...i really enjoy looking at your wonderful photos but this thread can be so much nicer without adding your sob story. I don't know what is going through your mind being depressed after achieving so much at such a young age, it's anything but depressing. I'm 35, no money, never had a girlfriend, still living with my mom and my deceased father was always disappointed with me and my choice of career. All these not because i'm a introvert or a lazy slacker. Because i have a debilitating disease that is slowly killing me which made me feel inadequate as a eligible companion for any woman and also confines me from ever achieving a successful career. When you deal with that for years, that will surely make any sane person depressed. I know this thread is about you and your wonderful photos ( they are really breath-taking), and you shouldn't be bother with my life story, but it just pisses me off when i see people still b***h about being depressed when their life is anything but.

happy u found therapy, struggling intensely still with the darkness. thank you for the beauty

Good work! Keep it up!

Talented.its absolutely stunning.Thank you for sharing.:)

Wow!!! You took ALL those photos?!?! Amazing vision! Congrats!

Beautiful! And congratulations on finding new feelings of appreciation and love!

Wonderful pictures. I like the flash light at Wollongong, Australia. Keep updating.

Those photos look like paintings, so beautiful! You are free to be healthy! take care :)

I, too, suffer from depression, have for many years. What I've learned is you must to do whatever it is to see and feel again. Good for you!

Wow, really amazing pictures! Nature i awesome and I do think it heals, if you like it :D '

Keeping your mind on anything can ease depression. was there for 8 years! stopped all meds ( best thing I ever did) and got a hobby. Great p

Just amazing!

I was once in a dark place also, glad things have changed. The world looks so beautiful through your lenses. All the best

nice article, the same scenario happened with me about 4 years ago and I'm glad the healing power of art has saved another. never stop!

Beautiful shots and I believe the depression opened your subconscious and allowed you to put your heart into the beautiful images captured!

Wow you are an amazing photographer!! I too fight with depression. My photos are no where as beautiful as yours. Using a very old Kodak.

The peace experienced in these moments is better than any medicine you can take.

Stunning :)

Absolutely stunning photos! Amazing!

These are the most beautiful photos I've seen. Very captivating and looks so peaceful.

Extraordinary talent&breathing photos, makes me want to go travelling! Have battled with depression for yes & painting&photography defo help

Gorgeous work. And so inspiring to know it helped you. I don't have much time for my art anymore, but this reminded me how much it helps me.

do you think that taking pictures like that could help me?...

I love these beautiful pictures. You are talented.

Wonderful! Good job! :)

Dealing with depression for years I understand. Photography grounds me an makes me whole again

Fantastic , wow, hugs.

While it's not up to me to define depression, you do a disservice to all those who are genuinely suffering from it to throw the word around when what you really meant was that you were merely BORED. And an idiot.

Amazing work. So glad you are healing.

Keep doing what makes you happy and u will fight everything :) Take care of you..

Phenomenal. What a gift :) thanks for sharing. What a difference can be found when we stop and smell the roses, Nature, the great healer. Creativity moves us closer to God :)

Bravo! I do same photographing urban culture and graffiti - have more than 1600 photos already, love to see the changes around and with me :-) keep on walking!

truly inspiring

Your pictures are beautiful! The world is full of beauty and the more you look for, the more you will find. And the more you appreciate it, the better you will feel. Thankyou for showing us these beautiful scenes and helping us too!

Anxiety is what calls us back to who we truly are. Listen to yourself, and find peace.

Congrats! Really good photography :) Photography make us see the world deeply and see things that before we didn't even notice.

William, what a beautiful story, taking something so horrible and making such stunning work of it, keep going, as a fellow photographer (suffered depression) i know the feeling! :D "Every day brings a choice: to practice stress or to practice peace. – Choose to be miserable and you’ll find plenty of reasons to be miserable. Choose to be peaceful and you’ll find plenty of reasons to be at peace. Think about it. Are you skilled at making yourself miserable? With those same skills you can make yourself motivated, effective and fulfilled. Do so."

Indeed depression will steal your soul unless you fight back with grace, dignity and love. You did all of this and more with these exquisite photos. Your ability to fing photogenic locations and to capture the ephemeral moment, is awesome.

Absolutely stunning!

Really awesome work! So grateful that you found an outlet that can be admired all over the world and bring awareness to mental health

Praise Planet earth. She is our strength.

That's partly because you are a born photographer. You really have The Eye, so you found yourself.

Really Amazing :D I tottaly admire Your work <3 I'm fighting with depression too so I know how it is. Keep doing your amazing work :D

Way to go William. I too have depression and photography really helps take me outside of the illness. Thanks for sharing
