Sally B. Simpson photographs under natural lighting situations, with very little or no use of camera filters to capture the beauty and simplicity of everyday subjects using a variety of camera types, including the medium format 120 film toy camera, the Holga. Intrigued by places and subjects that exhibit a haunting sense of abandonment, as well as images that evoke a strong sense of familiarity and simplicity, Simpson chooses to photograph with her Holga often. With its cheap construction, images produced from the Holga often yield photographs with characteristic light leaks, blurs and vignetting, adding depth and individuality to each photograph.

With a decade of experience, Simpson’s awarded and published photography includes a collection of Route 66 color images that were exhibited at the Route 66 State Park Visitor Center in 2007. Today, Simpson, a St. Louis native, is currently working on her AFA in Photography as well as her Certificate of Proficiency from the St. Louis Community College at Meramec.

Multitalented photographer, published writer, and musician, Mark Tiedemann, premiers his black and white art photography inspired by the work of Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and other members of the f64 Group. During his commercial photography career as a proficient black and white lab technician, he has continuously recorded and printed but never shown his own work.

In 1982, Mark achieved a childhood of dream of becoming a published author and to date has published ten novels and over fifty short stories. He is a regular contributor of essays to DangerousIntersection.org and a book reviewer for Science Fiction Age, The New York Review of Science Fiction, Sauce Magazine, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Born and raised in St. Louis, Mark Tiedemann recently served for four years as president of the Missouri Center for the Book where he oversaw the establishment of the first Missouri Poet Laureate position.

Michael Rudolf passionately captures the usual, unusually in his photography. His colorful compositions portray context in structure, using light and dark.
