Seph Lawless, "Abandoned Malls"
April 2017
I chose this image because it speaks to me about overcoming something that is pulling you down. The dark areas in this photo would be the negatives things in life that are pulling you down or distracting you from becoming what you want to become in life. As the light of the sun shines down it seems as if your sticking to the path and avoiding all the negatives that are pulling you or distracting you from where you need to be in life or even in your short-term goals. Although you see the tree in the middle of the abandoned mall it gives off some kind of hope that there are positives throughout all the negatives things pulling or distracting you. Seph Lawless was born May 1, 1978, in Cleveland, Ohio. Seph is an American-based Photographer, Artist, Published Author, Political Activist, and photojournalist. He is known for his extensive documentation of abandoned places all over the world.
