“For me, the creation of a photograph is experienced as a heightened emotional response, most akin to poetry and music, each image the culmination of a compelling impulse I cannot deny. Whether working with a human figure or a still life, I am deeply aware of my spiritual connection with it. In my life, as in my work, I am motivated by a great yearning for balance and harmony beyond the realm of human experience, reaching for the essence of oneness with the Universe.” HumansStillsSpiritualUniverseFiguresCreationEmotionalBalancePhotographyConnectionsEssenceHarmonyResponsePhotographerPhotographDenyOnenessImpulseRealmsReachingMotivatedYearningCompellingHuman ExperienceStill LifeCulminationEmotional ResponseSpiritual ConnectionPoetry And MusicBalance And Harmony Author:Ruth Bernhard

“Light is my inspiration. My photographic images search for dimensions that words cannot touch- the result of intense responses to personal experiences. I do not wish to "record," but rather to touch upon the illusive meanings which I perceive and try to comprehend in this limitless universe.” TryingLightInspirationUniverseWishResultsRecordsPhotographyResponseIntensePerceiveDimensionsLimitlessPersonal Experiences Author:Ruth Bernhard
