Vicki Hannan, Beating The Blues (SEASCAPE 2025)

There’s something about the open road, the salt air, the endless horizon, and the excitement of a new camera body. This trip was a return to the simple joys of exploration, a chance to reconnect with nature, and an opportunity to rekindle fond memories of road trips in my twenties. The view from Merimbula Wharf perfectly captured the importance of prioritizing health and well-being. Moments like this reminded me to pause, be present, and use my camera as a tool for visual well-being. Beating the Blues is more than just a seascape—photography serves as a powerful reminder of the beauty that surrounds us. Beating the Blues is also the title of a self-help book about overcoming depression by Susan Tanner and Dr Jillian Ball.
