“To me, the camera lens is a window to a whole new world. Every time I look through it, I seek to find what’s already there but is often missed for lack of looking. A face, a trickle of light, a landscape, a passing moment—a million different scenes just waiting to be realized. All I have to do is find them. It is my calling in life to see this new world and bring hidden moments into focus.”

—Patti Monaghen
