Ginger Livingston Sanders, Cave Photographer


Article by Tabitha Rossman, EWLS Photography Blogger
I got the pleasure of meeting Ginger and quickly became friends with her. I met her while I was in Oregon doing field work and caving with the Oregon High Dessert Grotto. She taught me a lot about cave photography techniques as well as photography in general.
We light painted to bring out hidden details in the cave, straddled uplifted floors that we lit with strange inflatable lights. She uses little illuminated pets that make it look like we were underwater. We giggled like kids. After this experience, I looked at my screen and saw that I had learned so much in such a short time. It felt like I had learned some kind magic!
She is an amazing woman and friend. 
Her camera of choice is the Canon Rebel T5i. She likes it because she doesn't have to worry like she would if she used a pricey camera. It makes her bolder about dragging in through sandy crawls, and boy did we do some face down crawling dragging of camera gear.
She loves to be able to spread her love through inspirational photography.  Besides this, Ginger is an amazing glassblower and international traveler. She is always looking for an adventure. She is, after all, a Livingston. It's in her DNA. #ewls #womencavers #speleology

Jessica Deli

Jessica Deli has been Central Region Coordinator for the NCRC since 2012 but before then she had already made her mark as a rescue specialist and cave conservationist all over the US. Deli has been involved with the National Cave Rescue Commission since 2005. With a simple Google search you will find her name everywhere participating in cave rescue training efforts. She appeared in the New York Grotto 2008 report for the Cave rescue Seminar and 2013 Orientation to Cave Rescue. In 2006 Kansas City Grotto mentioned her in the Orientation to Cave Rescue at Indiana University. Central Indiana Grotto enjoyed her demos in 2012 at the club's Vertical training. At the 2011 NSS Convention she presented "Atmospheric Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Levels in Caves: What is Normal? Preliminary Results" with Anmar Mirza. And in 2005 she was involved in the Buckner's Cave clean-up project at Indiana University Bloomington. Deli's credentials in civilian life are impressive too! T
