Gulls on the River

I submitted 4 photos to the 34th annual Paducah Summer Festival Photo Contest. I've received good feedback from a few of them, so we shall see. I hope the juror sees something in the four different styles that i presented. I am wondering what that says about me (the 4 different styles)...if not searching for the particular aesthetic every time, but letting the aesthetic find me.

Lots is going on in my life right now. Dealing with my grandmother's dying process has been a gruelling one. I hope to trascend the mundane stuff of my self and focus on her in this time in her life. She wants me present with her more than I am willing to give while trying to parent my two little boys, being good mother, and wife. It is tough. Watching her die, I realize that I do not want to deny the inevitable and obvious realities of and in my own life. I do not want to trudge to death, I want to fly to death.
