These pictures are amazing and the titles are hilarious! One can read as much or as little into the pictures as one might wish… I personally feel that there are multitudes contained in each picture: multitudes of Ruth Raskin the photographer and Ruth Raskin the subject. Where one ends and the other begins doesn’t matter: it’s all about the journey.

These were so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! I was a neuro nurse early in my career and CJD was a relatively new diagnosis. My thoughts go out to you and your family. Take care.

Congratulations to Ruth on a wonderful collection! (Also, is that Sugar or Phantom? Is their debut as an artist's muse?!)
