M. Irene Eggerman Fine Art Photographer M. Irene Eggerman Photographer: Fine Art Photography I grew up on a Whidbey Island chicken farm and many of the items photographed I can remember being used on the farm when it was operational. Specific places hold fond memories of playing with my brother, helping my father with chores, or other key events of my farm life. At its peak, the farm had 15,000 chickens, and was one of the larger poultry hatching egg farms in the state of Washington.
I feel enthusiastic about the challenge to capture and create a dynamic composition, rich in tones and interest. It’s astounding how many times I can go to the same place and still find new things to photograph. Different lighting, change of perspective, maybe a niche not noticed before.
In photographing the farm, I wanted to express a sentimental feeling, a sense of the past, and find in the oldness an artistic beauty.
