Joanne Bernardini, Photographer
Treasures of Ireland
Joanne Bernardini was bitten by the shutterbug after receiving her first camera
at the tender age of six. It was then that a life long passion for photography was born.
Initially concentrating in portrait photography she has expanded her focus.
In the last several years, through her involvement with the Ocean City Fine Arts
League and the encouragement of Master Artist James Penland, she has come to
appreciate photography as a true art form. This has led her to concentrate on
scenes that evoke a serene response in the viewer. She strives to capture that
moment in time when the viewer experiences a wave of peacefulness wash over them
while viewing a sunset, a lazy stroll on the beach or the excitement of the wind
in a sail. When the stresses of life get too much, the viewer need only look at
the photo and be carried back to that moment in time again.
Phil Greenspun
Besides being a fine photographer, Phil
is a phenomenon; he survived and recuperated from that left him in a coma for
six months! His tenacity, spirit, and love of life are an inspiration. Come and
meet Phil, peruse his book, "My Life Through a Lens" and enjoy his beautiful
work on the walls of the Creperie
