Boats on the Seine in Paris inspired “Bateaux Mouches,” a series of solitary figures bathed in boat floodlights. “These are lonely photographs,” says Cooley. “The figures give you a sense of scale, and make you relate to the person and the circumstance.” (2003)

Some of the photos do convey a sense of loneliness but my initial feeling is of a sense of hope for others. The existence of a point of artificial light in a vast landscape makes me feel less alone. Amazing photos either way.
