Camus concluded: "One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

"A blind man, eager to see, who knows that the night has no end, he is still on the go. The rock is still rolling. [...] One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart.

The will to live, the love of life and the lust for living use to create meanings even in dead ends, lights even in the dark, and colors even in black and white shots. And moreover, in the photographs, I do notice some lucid faces, bright smiles, joy, activities with indications or at least a touch of happiness rather than forlornness and desperation - perhaps because I am used to and very fond of viewing grayscale photographs?)
