I shared the reaction of  mariuca quite closely. I didn't feel any convincing connection with the title 'depression' (not that I need to, in order to appreciate your photographs). Some held my attention longer than others.
The person with shadow is really quite excellent; it's remarkable how much more complex the shadow makes the viewer's reaction to the person.. .the feeling I got was that either the person or the photographer was saying, "You don't know me. You don't know what I think; what I feel." It's a sobering lesson for the viewer prone to over-hasty dismissal (e.g. me). It's also amazingly Picasso-like! The form and the lines (especially the shoulder line), the posture, the tilt and rendering of the head; it's all pure PP.

That one is worth following somewhere, so if you ever felt moved to pursue that thread I'd be an excited follower.
Thank you.
