Description This is from my final project in photography, a photo essay on depression. Each shot was supposed to convey one of the many faces of this illness. Shot with my junkie old SLR on Ilford BW400, printed on gelatin-silver paper, 8" x 10".

Hi stella,

Love the feeling of this. Would you mind if I used it for a non-profit music video (a song about depression)?

"Grey" is the song: Stormz.wixsite.com/mstorm .

First of all, I love this piece. Also, I was wondering if you would be okay with me using this as a stock image and if yes, if you have a higher quality image available. Thank you.

Sorry, I've been on vacation for the past week. Yeah, I suppose it would be fine if you want to use it... I'm not so sure on the higher-resolution bit, though. Let me root around in my files (I did that shot *years* ago), and I'll see what I can come up with. Sound ok?

Sounds great. To be honest, I've already been working on it but just in case you said no, I did an alt version of myself, but you inspired me to do a depression project of my own. Seems fitting since I am severely depressed right now. It probably doesn't even hold a light to your own but if you're interested, I can link you when I upload it. The one with you is a photo manipulation and has been bumped down on my priorities for the time being, however, I am just about done editing my photos so take your time. Thank you so much. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. Hope you enjoyed your vacation.

I appreciate your thoughts - I hope that I portrayed depression not only to people that have it, and can relate, but also to people that don't. It's rough sometimes, and a huge part of my life... this was a way to communicate that. Thanks!
