not enough for a discussion

Hot! In Emotion Capture Sponsored by Samsung G800

a piece about manic depression. on flickr it was tagged with depression, sinking, sulking, and betrayed.

there is no detail in the face as manic depression causes you to lose sight of yourself. it becomes black or white with little grey in between, and who a person is gets lost in the mess.

If recognition and applause means you get relief from the distress, then I am glad to be of some small help. This is artistic, open and courageous.

This is wonderful. I wish I could see just a LITTLE facial detail so I could feel a bit more of a connection to the form. Great job . . . .

visually attention-getting. i like this photo. on the surface, it's a half-naked woman in bed. but i think the photo goes deeper than that! well-done.
