Tiffany Meets Her Public

Tiffany standing among some of her pieces
On March 27, 2011, fellow group member Tiffany Whisler had an opening for an exhibition of her work at the Rolling Meadows Library.  I had the extreme pleasure of finally meeting Tiffany and her husband, Greg.  Of course, there was the added treat of viewing Tiffany's amazing work; I've admired it for going on two years now, ever since I saw it among the submissions for the 2009 Capture My Chicago contest.  On this day, I finally got to meet them in person!


Discussing her artwork
 Both Tiffany and Greg Whisler are from Kansas; she from Wichita and he from the southwestern part of the state.  As Tiffany wrote in her short bio: "I have taken pictures since I was about 10 years old, and the passion has increased as the years pass.  There is great beauty in this Earth - it is visible constantly in what God has created..."  Given that, it's no wonder that her photographic passion lies chiefly with landscape and nature photography.  That passion is evident in her beautiful landscapes from Glacier National Park; that passion is evident in her stunning macros of flowers and butterflies; and that passion is evident in everything she does photographically, including those things that "...God has inspired man to make".  One of my favorites of hers is a grain elevator in rural Kansas silhouetted in the sunset; the last rays of the setting sun glint off the railroad tracks in the foreground, leading your eye to the subject.  That's some good stuff.

When she's not out taking photos, Tiffany is a veterinarian (and so is her husband, Greg) .  Tiffany is a relief veterinarian, filling in for vets where there's a need.

Tiffany shoots with a Canon Rebel XTi with a bunch of lenses.  She took courses in photography at Harper College in Palatine, Illinois.  Tiffany hasn't posted a lot of her work on the internet yet, but hopefully that will change soon!  In the meantime, check out her online gallery here at
