Quick Quotes: Ruth Bernhard

There is no such thing as taking too much time, because your soul is in that picture.

Ruth Bernhard

This quote by Ruth Bernhard, a photographer best known for her classic nude studies, is one that I find comforting.  I frequently find myself spending long periods of time trying to get images to appear just the way I would like them to.  I sometimes think that perhaps I would be 'more productive' if I left the images at 80% of what I want them to be, because most people would probably not notice the subtle changes....but I never do leave them till I have them just right, at least from the standpoint of my vision. I guess that is because my soul is in them!
