Zitat des Tages von Ruth Bernhard:
I never question what to do, it tells me what to do. The photographs make themselves with my help.
I look at ordinary objects, and I see things that other people don't see. That's why I'm a photographer.
To me... San Francisco is an ideal city, intellectually stimulating and naturally beautiful. The oceans and forests are close enough to refresh the spirit; the architecture is always exciting.
Photographs speak to me, and I obey.
The ground we walk on, the plants and creatures, the clouds above constantly dissolving into new formations - each gift of nature possessing its own radiant energy, bound together by cosmic harmony.
Seeing comes from the inside, from the heart, from life's experiences.
I understood the craft of photography when done by an artist is art.
I was a very, very careful printer when I used 8-by-10 film. I probably spent more time on printing than anything else. The more the prints were appreciated, the more time I spent on them.
It seems a perfectly normal thing to be 95.
I've always photographed beauty, but I've never been beautiful myself.
I feel that everything has to come from the heart, and it cannot come from the intellect.
Everything I do is a metaphor of the universal order.
