Awakening to Mother Nature
Photography by Tina Marie Bibergall
Feb. 1-27, 2010
Reception Feb. 16
5:30 to 6:45 p.m.
Free and Open to Public
Tina Bibergall is a stay-at-home mom who has enjoyed photographing her three sons and daughter over the past 14 years. Over the past five years, her hobby has evolved into a passion for capturing the beauty of nature and the importance of teaching the next generation to appreciate all it has to offer.
The artist’s philosophy, “The concept of conservation and Going Green can be more real to children when they witness up-close a mother bird feeding her baby or a flower opening its petals. Put a camera in their hands and it will leave a lasting impression of some smaller reasons why our Earth is so precious."
Ms. Bibergall’s favorite photography spots are the Chicago Botanic Gardens, Tucson Botanic Gardens, various trails in Central Wisconsin, and many “secret spots” in the Bartlett area.
She and her four children use Nikon equipment – from her six year-old’s point-and-shoot to her Nikon D90 with 80-300 Image Stabilizing Lens and 105 mm Macro lens. They are a Nikon family and have spent memorable hours photographing nature together.
