"I always say yes to everything because I always feel that whatever comes my way, life meant for me." — Ruth Bernhard

Seeing comes from the inside, from the heart, from life's experiences.

I feel that everything has to come from the heart, and it cannot come from the intellect.

Photographs speak to me, and I obey.

I think of the nudes as seed pods, like flowers or grasses. They are universal bodies.
