A photograph is a secret about a secret.
The more it tells you the less you know.

about the photographer|beth d. weinstein
Photography is how Beth expresses the joy she receives meeting the kindest people from the four corners of the earth. She chose Anandam to represent her work because it means deeper joy and “ananda-natamam," a word derived from anandam, is the dance of bliss.
Beth first felt the deeper joy of photography when she captured the birth of a beluga whale while working at the famous New York Aquarium. Since then Beth has traveled to four continents and countless countries, including Bangladesh, Belize, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Germany, India, Italy, Portugal, and Tanzania and many other amazing places both within the United States and abroad.
Her interest in travel and portrait photography was piqued when she began her volunteer relationship with Nalamdana, a health education nonprofit in India, and began to travel to places previously unimagined where she “met the warmest people who invited me into their homes and shared their personal stories with me.”
Beth has offered her images for sale in her latest exhibition
to support Nalamdana’s work that benefits thousands
of people in Southern India every year.
