Ruth Ann Nelson:  My first camera was a gift when I was about twelve.  I was very disappointed when I tried to photograph a black cat in the shadows with black and white film.  This year my photos have been on exhibit at:  The First Annual Visions fo Light Show at the Tri Lakes Art Center, Woodmen Fireside Gallery through the Colorado Springs Art Guild, All Photographers' Show in Woodland Park at the Dolphin Horse Gallery and Barnes and Noble Bookstore in Briargate.  

Whitney Riggs:  I work as an Academic Advisor for Pikes Peak Community College.  I grew up in Iowa where I received my Master of Education and Bachelor of Science degrees from Iowa State University.  Although I have chosen education as my career I have enjoyed taking photos since I was a child.  My passions in life are learning, being outdoors, traveling , and photography.
