Diary of Depression

These "Diary of Depression" photos were taken during a time when my wife was suffering from chronic depression. She was writing a memoir "Grief Girl" (Random House, 2007) about her parents being killed when she was 14, and to her surprise, it sent her into a downward spiral. * The handwritten words are copied from my journal.

In the Grief Girl: A Writer's Journey photo essay.

    These are soooo beautiful, like you wouldn't believe. I looked through them all, and honestly, they're wonderful.
    She's done well, amazingly well. Congratulate her and tell her that she's touched at least one life today.

    this series is incredible. and the fact that you were able to capture someone's raw emotions is just so... real. that's what photography should be like.
    i'm wondering, did you print these in a traditional darkroom and write on the prints?
    if this doesn't get published i will be very very angry.
