Women: Beauty, Grace and Spirit is a rich, varied collection of the artist's best portraits of women. From the Dedication: "These images are more than merely about surface appearance--however aesthetically pleasing such "surfaces" may be. As wise folk over the centuries have suggested, the face--particularly the eyes--are a kind of portal to the inner self. To the sensitive viewer, then, these images provide hints into the infinitely complex, varied and nuanced experience of being human. And because they are photographs specifically of women, they reveal something of what has been variously termed the Divine Feminine, the Feminine Principle, the Goddess--without which life in this world is unimaginable." This volume includes many of the portraits originally published in Consorting with Anima, along with many additional portraits not found in that earlier volume.

About the Author

Steven Gelberg
SJG  San Francisco Bay Area
I began photographing in 1994, following many years as a Hindu monk, writer, and academic scholar. With no background in the visual arts, photography appeared serendipitously and soon absorbed my full attention. For me, the essence of photography is found in the pure pleasure of seeing: the experience of opening a more patient, contemplative, intuitive, imaginative eye to the world. It’s about surrendering to the strange synergy between quiet receptivity and probing curiosity -- appreciating the “suchness” of things, while experiencing their complex resonances within personal consciousness. Moving about the world with a camera opens my eyes and mind to the beauty, strangeness, and mystery of it all, while crafting images in the darkroom provides a means for communicating my wonder and delight. My work can be found in many private collections. All images in my books are available as original photographic (silver-gelatin) prints. Feel free to contact me via my website.
