Sanibel Island, Florida, USA – 2013
I decided to get up really early a few days and get some ambient, empty beach photos. Solitude can sometimes be just the refreshing drink to quench your dying spirit…but in this case it wasn’t, it was more like a vitamin–it may or may not really help. In either case, I enjoyed taking pictures in this other dimension. Some rough times going on for Briguy….
-
- Rise before the sun and before the people. I do this to experience a calm and desolate beach, to become one with the intimate pain that Linkin Park frequently writes about.
-
- Would you like a pineapple? Sorry, I’m not a pineapple tree though I am commonly mistaken to be one. Sort of like staying hopeful while job hunting. I don’t even want a fucking pineapple.
-
- Pre-dawn contemplation about the universe, stars, classic philosopher stuff.
-
- Similar to a previous photo except I have inserted myself in. This “selfie” as they are now called, shows off the product I put in my hair to make it look blurry and depressing, characteristic of my emo personality.
-
- Self-portrait of myself…. Please look past the mental disintegration, the form barely recognizable as a person, the fuzzy concept of a life. 2013 gonna be great…
-
- Ever had a recurring bad memory that made you want to stick a gun to your chest and pull the trigger? Yeah…neither have I.
-
- Two people walk toward Fort Meyers Beach before the sun comes up while I project my own mental despair on the scene.
-
- A moment interpreted as a future painful memory. Hi beautiful, my name is Brian. Would you like to get together for a short but intensely meaningful while?
-
- Occasionally I can stop and appreciate the clarity and calmness that comes from the acceptance of an increasingly bleak-seeming existence.
-
- A brief calm period while wandering a foreign world. Some tinge of sadness as I am the perpetual outsider, unable to understand what is worth getting up for every day.
-
- Let the motion of the waves wash away the struggle of the past few years…oh, it doesn’t work that way…nevermind…
-
- A almost endless gulf that somewhere borders Mexico. Use your time here wisely or you might become depressed and pseudo-subconsciously drown in your own irrational hopelessness.
