RUTH’S PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
This past Sunday I went to a wonderful photography gallery exhibition and reception hosted by noted Pittsburgh photographer and fellow blogger, Ruth E. Hendricks Photography.
Ruth Ella Hendricks now teaches Digital Photography at Pittsburgh Carrick High School after more than 20 years of teaching Visual Arts K-8 in the Pittsburgh Schools. Photographing since the mid ’60′s, she studied photography as an undergrad and more recently at Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild and Pittsburgh Filmmakers. Her film portrait of Dorothy Holley Quart Jar Poet premiered in Fall 2005. Two of her photos are published in Along These Rivers Anthology of Poetry and Photography About Pittsburgh.
Prior to Sunday’s exhibition, Ruth’s photography has been shown in five cities. New Orleans, LA, Ft Collins, CO; Ft Myers, Fl; Los Angeles, CA and earlier in August 2012 in Pittsburgh, PA.
Ruth has also been the recipient of many awards:
Best New Artist – Celebrate Art – Celebrate Life PERSAD Center Auction Spring 2008
Best Regional Work – Pittsburgh Technology Council Linking Art and Technology Show
First Place – Downtown Living Exposed Exhibition Pittsburgh PA
Best Color Photography – Bucks Fine Art Gallery Show Newtown PA
Please click on below video to see the successful presentation of her photographs to the delight of a full house. Also check out her blog, Ruth E Hendricks Photography to see more of her amazing photos.

Thanks, Francine, for posting this. I’m glad to see that Ruth’s showing was so well-attended. She’s so talented and a collection of her works must have been something to see.
Now, when are you going to show yours?

You are so right John. Ruth’s show was amazing. She had 26 photos on display. I don’t think I’m ready or good enough for a show of my own. Thanks for the encouragement.
fgassette - February 8, 2013 at 11:16 am |
Not good enough? Nonsense! Create a portfolio and use it to find a gallery. You’ll be showing your work in no time.

Thank you for your encouragement. I’m blessed to have you as a supporter and friend.

Yes for a number of years. I met her at a photography class we took together.

Aaaaww…meeting new photographers is such amazing fun thing to do. I love to get into their creative mind and find out what makes me tick and talk about the gifts they have been given. Blessings.

Yes, Chicago John is right Francine. Now it is YOUR turn to have a showing. You captured the event and it was nice to see so many people taking time to truly look closely at the photographs. Thanks for coming out on a winter afternoon and creating such a wonderful video of the opening for me to remember. xxooxxoo

And to think that I only know her as Flat Ruthie’s mum! She looks full of fun and good humour. Thanks for the intro, Francine. I seem to’ve missed your posts lately. Trying to have a catch up.
