Military Pike, Lexington, Kentucky
Photography
I took this image in February 2014 after landing at Bluegrass Field in Lexington, KY to visit my father, who was struggling with a terminal illness. I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw him. Would he be thinner? Weaker? Confused? As a teenager growing up in Lexington, my greatest comfort when I got upset was to drive along the many beautiful "pikes" surrounding Lexington that wove their way among the many horse farms. So to calm my nerves, I drove and came upon this scene along Military Pike, which is about halfway between Lexington and Versailles, Kentucky. I was shocked when this image won first place in the Adult Intermediate Category of the 2015 National Arts Program.
