Peggy Stewart's Artist Statement from
Page 111, CT Review, Fall 2005, Vol. XXVII No. 2
As a
photographer, I am always on a quest to find that special
moment when light, color, and subject matter converge to create
an image-
one that moves me or makes me smile, an image to which I can
return,
again and again, and still find intriguing.
Each day, I search the viewfinder hoping the landscape will
reveal
something worth capturing. A white lifeguard chair on a deserted
beach.
Two elderly women sharing a park bench. Football players
trudging off a
field in twilight.
The art of photography can be a tedious and difficult one,
but it's also
engaging, sometimes exciting-and the very act of it helps keep
me sane.
Dedicating a day to finding an image allows me access to a
calmer place.
Though the end product-an interesting or beautiful photograph-is
often the goal, I've found it's the very process of
picture-taking-the scouring
of sites, the discovery through the viewfinder-that brings the
most
satisfaction. It's work I love.
