He might be depressed

All the ingredients are present in the bag of life to make it miserable and depressed.
Contrary to the promises made before, the Fuso Szulc expedition vehicle is not ready.
And nobody knows when it will be ready.
New promises that it will be Friday cannot be taken serious after the recent experiences.

Hence, very stuck.
Locked in a horrible hotel next to the busy Highway 5.
Nothing special to do except to go every day to the workplace where the Fuso Szulc is being rebuild.
Just hanging around there and making some pictures.
To see how slow and without any urgency the work is going.
Why would they care when the truck is ready?

To go to El Cajon, where the workshop is, from Carlsbad, where the hotel is, every day the American traffic jam is experienced.
Sitting there surrounded by thousands of cars wondering what life is in fact about.
Moving slowly.
Stopping.
Moving slowly.
Stopping.
Not only the traffic jam but current life as well.
That usually moves like a speedboat on a beautiful lake.

So, all the ingredients present to become really depressed.
Unable to start the new photo project that is planned.
Unable to live in the own hull of the camper.
While the fantasy irritates with images of travelling to the Ukraine with the most exceptional friend.

There are clear signs of being depressed by the current situation.
The hotel has a fairly sized swimming pool.
Usually, when possible, every day a long swim is performed but not this time.
The swimming pool is ignored with negative thoughts.


Same for the daily running that could be possible.
Lack of motivation due to the circumstances stops these physical activities.

When cooking in the Fuso Szulc, delicious and healthy food is prepared.
But now it is frozen food from Albertson’s heated up in the microwave of the hotel room.





Is the conclusion therefore that the pioneering photographer has slipped into a devastating depression?
