Ruth Bernhard by Larry Colwell
"Each time I make a photograph I celebrate the life I
love and the beauty I know and the happiness I have experienced. All my
photographs are made like that responding to my intuition... After all these
years, I am still motivated by the radiance that light creates when it
transforms an object into something magical. What the eye sees is an illusion
of what is real. The black-and-white image is yet another transformation. What
exactly exists, we may never know."
