Dennis Steierer is a self-taught photographer whose career has spanned thirty-five years. His subject matter has included rodeos, fashion photography, opera and nature. His work has appeared in National Geographic magazine, has been exhibited nationally and is included in many permanent collections. He is a two term past artist of the Buffalo Artists Society.

Dennis also enjoys making what are known as "painterly photographs" in which Polaroid film is manipulated while still being processed. Using tools such as toothpick or a popsicle stick the photo is altered to created flowing lines or blurred objects resulting in a work that is as unique to the photographer as a painting is to a painter. This form of art is slowly dying with the advent of the digital age and the gradual discontinuation of Polaroid films.

James Kipfer has been taking photos since the age of seven when he borrowed his parents Hawkeye Browning for a Cub Scout Meeting. A few years after graduating he was introduced to the works of Ansel Adams which, says James, "opened my eyes to the fact the black and white photography can be a wonderfully artistic way to express myself."

James has been exhibiting for over ten years. He won first place in the Lewiston Art Festival the first time he entered and has won several times since then. He currently lives in Racine, Wisconsin where he is a member of the Racine Art Center Cooperative.
