Natural
theology is the belief that all humans can know God through observing nature.
Using my camera to commune with nature is my spiritual connection to the
Infinite. The world is my church, my image Merilee Adler, San Pedro, CA |

For
your inspiration and innovation; for forging the way for future women photographers;
for making the world a more interesting and beautiful place! It is with
gratitude and admiration that I wish you a very happy birthday, with hopes
of many more years filled with health, happiness, love, companionship and
creativity! You will always be one sexy woman! Fond regards, Joanne Bartone, Pittsburgh, PA CHARTER Member www.JoanneBartone.com |

I
was fortunate to meet you in Palm Beach. Your influence illumines photography;
your beliefs in feeling bound to all that exists caused me long ago to term
my own work as "neotranscendental." The longing felt when drawn
into a visual poem compels me to conjure photography's alchemy, that I might
cast my vision into the annals of immortality. If this is foolish, then
let me be foolish always. Ivy Bigbee, Washington, DC PROfessional Member www.ivybigbee.com |

Ruth...is
also my middle name... ItŐs an honor to be graced by your photos and legacy.
These photos span the 30 years from the birth of my photo identity (1972)
until the present time when my son/muse has reinspired me with purpose.

Your life

your humanity and we're the better for it. Josephina DiSalvo |
