Why do so many of these portraits appear sad?
"Melancholy deserves to be differentiated from depression.  It is not merely another word for sadness.  I am fully aware that Freud described melancholy as a state of dejection and that elsewhere it has been described as mourning that has failed to be resolved.  My personal definition of melancholy is that it is a contemplative period–a period that may include elements of sadness without being sadness.  It is a necessary decompression of the spirit, an introversion.  It may be darker, but it is a thoughtful time. It is not an abyss.  Neither is it pessimistic.  It is the moment before the phoenix rises again.  A rest, a respite."

The very instant the shutter closes and the image is stored...

What is captured, is the past.

A    photo    will    never    forget   and   fails   to    judge   or   discriminate   against  the  subject

As you are now, in this moment, you will never be again...
