| In more than half a century in photography, Ruth Bernhard has created an imposing body of work. Distinguished by their exquisite use of light, her images have been internationally rec-ognized and acclaimed by her peers. Ansel Adams called her the greatest photographer of the nude. Radiant still lifes and nude forms reflect her passionate search for the universal connection of all things. "I always say yes to life.. Light is the drawing pencil of the photographer." Ruth Bernhard reveals. She is interviewed in her home, observed with her students, and during the creative process: printing in her darkroom and photographing still life and the nude in her studio. A retrospective of over 250 of her photographs in presented. Robert Burrill, the Milpitas-based filmmaker behind this fine documentary, will be on hand to discuss the film and his experiences in teaching filmmaking. |
