Joan Stewart writing on The Art in the Image:
"Photographic art is a journey. Along the way I hope to earn enough trust from my subjects that they will share themselves with me. After all, the camera is just a tool. It doesn't create photographs. It simply records them. It is the photographer that must conjure subject, light and composition into an ahah moment. The photograph represents the level of collaboration between subject and artist in that moment. Great photographs represent great trust in their collaboration."
