I clearly remember looking</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> at my parent's books on photography, transfixed by the people and places in the images. </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> Photography enlarged my knowledge of the world and sparked my creativity.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> When I was in the fourth grade my parents gave me a 110 millimeter film camera. With it</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> I documented my friends, my house, my toys... my world as I saw it and as I wanted it to</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> remain in my memory.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> I suppose I still practice this today to some degree. I photograph scenes as they are found,</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> seeking meaning within my surroundings. The photographs on this website are observations</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> of form, balance, light and human influence. They are a permanent appreciation of</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> the temporary.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> I am inspired by the photographers included in <em>The New York </em><em>School </em><em>of </em><em>Photographers</em></p> <p style="text-align: left;"> between 1936 and 1963. My favorite of these photographers is Saul Leiter whose work</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> I adore in both color and monochrome. The thing I find most compelling about this group</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> of photographers is their ability to recognize the sublime enmeshed within routine.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> In this spirit I seek to sustain a fascination with my environment; fostering an appreciation for</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> irony within happenstance.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <div style="text-align: left;"> <u><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><font size="3"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><font size="2"><br /> </font></span></span></span></span></font></span></font></u></div> </div> <div> Street photography by Megan Harrigan Cox </body> ]]>
