LUX 2015 - a fine art photography journal

Submit your best photographs which represent the idea of "Struggles".

Life is a struggle teeming with external forces, which work to either keep us upright and moving forward or such forces can sometimes do quite the opposite. Losing a loved one to illness, recovering from a substance addiction, overcoming a physically challenging competition, witnessing environmental travesties, participating in a social solution, or whatever the case may be, submit photographs, fictional or non-fictional, which express the limits of our existence in the world, for better or worse.

Any genre, style, or approach to making a photograph that represents "Struggles" is welcome.
