John Munro -

I am an advanced amateur photographer with a keen interest in landscape and travel photography.
I developed an interest in photography through my military service, education, and employment.
I earned B.A. and Masters degrees in Geography/Cartography and Urban Planning. Prior to
attending university I was in the USAF for five years stationed in the USA and Europe. The time
spent in the USAF spawned a travel bug that remains with me to this day. After attending
university I went to work with the U.S. Geological Survey as a cartographer making topographic
maps. In my early career I traveled throughout the western United States on mapping jobs doing
preliminary feature identification and topographic surveying. I also traveled to Saudi Arabia to
make and edit a small-scale map of the region. During my career I was a topographic map editor,
designed special (thematic) topographic maps, supervised different mapping operations, and was
a mapping program manager. I became interested in photography while in the USAF, and the late
1960s purchased a Minolta SRT-101 with multiple lenses. I spent the next 30 years trying to
learn how to make correct exposures but never progressed much beyond that point. Approaching
retirement I was faced with the age old retiree's question - what am going to do when I retire? I
decided to expand my passion and learn how to compose and make better images that attempt to
say something.

Joanne Munro -

I am also an amateur photographer who used photography as a method of documenting my
travels. I have a BA degree in Geography and a Paralegal certificate. In the 1970s I purchased a
Minolta SRT-101and lenses after my first trip to Mexico. Since then I have traveled to Egypt
three times, Mexico, Spain, Italy, France, Ireland, Israel, and the United Kingdom documenting
my travels. Also a retired federal employee, I left federal service in 2006 after serving with the
U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. My principal interests are
photographing patterns in the natural and man-made world, and architectural details.

Riley "The Life of" Munro -

Riley is our oldest girl - an AKC-registered chocolate Labrador retriever now 10 years old. She is
the mellow and gentle lab who lives "The life of Riley." She was named after the old 1950s
TV show depicting the life of a post-WWII aircraft worker in southern California who was living
a good middle-class life. We are very sad to report that Riley died on April 3, 2009, from complications associated with cancer of the bladder and kidney failure. We miss her very much.

Abigail "Nibbles and Kisses" Munro -

Abby is our puppy - an AKC-registered yellow Labrador retriever who is a little over three years
old. She is a live wire and consummate Frisbee player. Her nick name is "Knicker Knapper"
because she is always in the dirty clothes basket moving objects to the bed, couch, or yard when
we are not around.
