Please say a warm hello to first-time contributor Matt Williams from Portsmouth, UK. In his late teens and early twenties he learned that he was living with bipolar disorder. He felt lost and in many ways existing or deluding himself rather than really living life. He has since stabilized, and discovered what is good for him (being creative) and what he should avoid. His bipolar has led him to experience periods of immense joy and at other times wondering why the world is so crazy. Mostly, he treasures those close to him who have supported him and shown him that the world is really worth sticking around for.
About this photo: “This photograph was taken in my back garden, and then photoshopped a bit. Something so simple and yet so amazing. Almost like a visual mantra.”

I love the fact that this leaf is suspended in mid-air, as if it paused in flight so we could notice it.
