#4 'I must go down to the seas again'...(3)

Take what you believe will be the final series of photographs before you die. — Nick Brandt.

This months challenge has been incredibly difficult for me. 3 weeks ago I held my mums hand as she died at home after a fairly short battle with lung cancer. I was fortunate enough to with her in her last week but watching her suffer, especially in those last few days is something I never wish to witness again.

The challenge whilst difficult gave me a focus. At first I was going to photograph only from my bed because that it how mum spend her last few weeks, however as I thought more about the challenge and if I were able in my last days I would go and photograph the sea. I love it for many reasons ( which I won't bore you with) and I would like to spend the short amount of time I had remaining embraced by all its salty charm.

This series is dedicated to my Mum. xx
