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

For more great stories, check out our Pinterest page ! #ewls #womencavers #speleology Black Annis Stories of Black Annis, also referred to as Cat Anna and Black Agnes, is an old blue-faced woman with one eye who has scared children for hundreds of years as the bogeywoman of Leicester. She is believed to occupy a cave located on the face of Dane Hills. Legend states that she used her cave to hide from the sun, which is believed could turn her to stone. Her cave led to a tunnel that ran all the way to Leicester Castle where she is alleged to linger in the form of a ghost. In the woods she preys on children and brings them back at her cave to drink their blood and eat their flesh. Then, she hangs their skins to dry on the branches of the oak tree outside the cave entrance until she could sew the dried skins together to use as clothes and decorate the interior of her cave. 1 2 ...
