Actually, I don't think they're depressing. I think you're diluting a really powerful series of photos by mixing in other good photos which are giving a different message. If you look at 2 5 7 8 10 then 3 you have a portrait of anxiety worthy of Hitchcock. Even Staten Island Ferry, it's as if they're looking at something that isn't there - un néant - and it could be an idyllic interlude in a Hitchcock film, with undertones of angst. I think if you published just those 6 or 7 (obviously not as a calendar) you'd really have something. I mean, they are a classic example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.
