Ghosts, Skeletons, and a Mother-in-Law in a Jar!
NCC members brought their spooky creativity (and sense of humor) to our special Halloween Competition!
First Place went to Valerie Christiansen for her haunting black-and-white image of what appeared to be the Walking Dead. Creepy enough to make anyone look over their shoulder!
Second Place went to Allan Duff for his colorful desert scene featuring an old rusted car, a skeleton behind the wheel, and the Grim Reaper along for the ride. Allan even sweetened the competition by bribing members with skeleton candy. We're not saying it influenced the voting... but it couldn't have hurt!
Third Place went to “Mother-In-Law,” a frightening face captured inside a glass jar. The victim? President Ed's mother, Linda. The photographer? Ed's wife, also Linda Stiglitz-Heckendorf! Two Lindas, one Ed, and a mother-in-law in a jar. You can't make this stuff up!
A special thank-you to Ed's mom for being such a great sport. We're happy to report no mothers-in-law were harmed in the making of this image!
Congratulations to our winners and everyone who made this competition a truly Spooktacular event!
A “Spooktacular" Halloween Competition!

Meet Our November Spotlight Photographer: Stephanie Phillips
Chasing Wonder, One Frame at a Time
Not everyone finds themselves sipping goat milk tea inside a Mongolian yurt, surrounded by eagle hunters holding magnificent golden eagles. But for Stephanie Phillips, extraordinary encounters like these have become part of a photographic journey fueled by curiosity, adventure, and a desire to see the world beyond the familiar.
The funny thing is none of this was part of the original plan.
What began with a little Instamatic camera, countless family snapshots, and a last-minute camera purchase before a trip to Cuba has evolved into a passion for capturing the people, cultures, wildlife, and remarkable places that make our world so fascinating.
Stephanie didn't set out to become a globe-trotting travel photographer. She simply wanted to take better pictures. As it turns out, that little ambition opened a very big world.
