"Black dog" is a common phrase to describe feelings of depression or deep melancholia, a state of mind and experience which the image itself is intended to represent. Depression is a burden by anyone's definition, I should think.
This image is the result of a 4-second exposure in the near-dark, where the camera is stationary and the subject moves during the exposure.
Thank you for the faves and the comments.

I have to admit I overlooked this one, only gave you a 6. Never suffered from the black dog, but I can imagine if one did that this would be a tremendous photo to represent it.
This is a very good depiction of the black dog. One of the most magical things about a photograph is that it can show two things at once. I don’t mean as in double exposure or superimposition. I mean two points of view of the same instant. That’s what the black dog feels like. 8. Thank you.
