WEATHERED SHELL, WRIGHTSVILLE | Kristin V. Rehder | FIRST PLACE PROFESSIONAL ENTRY | CATEGORY WILDLIFE
“Ten years ago, I was walking along the far inlet at Shell Island when I spotted this shell. I remember the moment I picked
it up — and how it inspired me to explore photographically what is imperfect, cast aside, or unseen, yet ultimately so very
beautiful, so dignified. An exquisite shell no bigger than two inches returned the wonder of my treasured days growing up
on Wrightsville Beach and took me down unimagined pathways. ”
