Big Muddy Speaker Series August 2024

Husband and wife photography team Richard Spener and Toni Armstrong spent two years photographing eight wilderness areas of Missouri. The results became a full exhibit at the Missouri History Museum. The exhibit then traveled around the state for a year and a half. Join us for an evening of reveling in the beauty of Missouri through the incredible images taken by Toni and Richard.

Richard Spener and Toni Armstrong are passionate about wild places. They have both held leadership positions in local and national environmental organizations and enjoy traveling to wilderness areas across the United States. As photographers, they balance each other well. Richard’s images feature more scenery and wildlife, while Toni provides macro images of flowers and insects. They are based in St. Louis County. Richard’s images have been published in the St. Louis Post Dispatch, National Wildlife Federation, Audubon Society of Missouri, Alaska Wilderness League newsletters, and the National Sierra Club.
