„When the viewer’s mind is opened by the conflict of two very different visions held in a single image, the mind works deeper into itself and further along the path of discovery into the common relationship of our mutual transformations: as we change, so does our world, and vice versa. The meaning of the resulting art published in this book is ambiguous and takes different forms. The images point beyond themselves and ultimately mirror the contradictions of ourselves“. (Publisher’s text) - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 11.2006.
„The book has forty-eight black and white photographs reproduced in duotones in this book under the supervision of the artist, with personal excerpts from John Bernhard’s diary and an introduction by Father Marco Dessy Perria. All proceeds from the sale of this book contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the Nicaraguan children.“ (Publisher’s text). - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 11.2006.
Text engl., fr., dt, span. - „Bringing photographs together with the diptych venue enhances the images' interaction and often produces ambiguous feelings. As viewers, we are drawn in by the discovery. This book presents a challenge to the viewer to establish a personal connection of ideas, emotions, and references - both visual and intellectual - through the subtle pairing of his photographs. ,His diptychs best demonstrate his open spirit and all show a curious mind willing to share its enthusiasm with the world.’ (William Ewing)“ (Publisher’s text). - Recipient of the 2004 Bronze Award from the International Gallery of Superb Printing Competition. - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 11.2006.
„This book is a visual journey, like a musical score, a personal diary, a compilation of images captured from the way John Bernhard sees the world. The readers’ eyes wander from one page to the next through a poetic visual narration from different subject matter and aesthetic sensibilities. Drift sets the mood of the book, a steady continuous movement or development from one thing, one place toward another. All 208 images are meant to be viewed in the chosen order starting from page one. The sensation of drift comes from that order. ,In producing drift, I have attempted to present the book much like a film, engaging the reader in reflection, observation and understanding. I am interested in the connection and the dialog between images.’“ (Publisher’s text).
