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

Sioux Legend of the Old Woman in the Cave

According to Sioux legend, as told by Chief Lost Feather, there is a secret and mysterious cave that is located on the West Mountain (near Hot Springs, Arkansas).  There's an old woman and a dog that have been living in this cave for many generations. The old woman never grows any older.  The dog never ages, either.  They both stay exactly the same, and they have since anybody can remember. The old woman spends her days weaving a rug.  She is using pine needles that she has collected in the nearby pine forest.  The old woman has been weaving now for many centuries, and yet the rug never gets any bigger. The dog watches his mistress weave through narrow slits in his eyes as he appears to just nap in the corner. Occasionally the old woman puts the rug down and leaves it while she goes to stir the pot of soup that she has cooking on a fire at the mouth of the cave.  The soup has probably been cooking for several centuries, as well.  The minute the old w...
