Morris' partner in crime is Jae-Ha Kim, a New York Times bestselling author who has cheered on Hobbits battling Orcs in New Zealand, cooed over newborn lambs in Scotland's Orkney Islands and rappelled down some of Colorado's steepest cliffs...all in pursuit of a great story. After a parked car accidentally hit her rental vehicle (ahem) in London, she has stuck to navigating in countries where folks drive on the other side of the road. Kim is a co-editor of Gault Millau's Guide to Chicago travel books and looks forward to the day she can cross Antarctica off her list of places to visit. She has a degree in political science from the University of Chicago and a M.S. in journalism from Northwestern University (Go, Wildcats?!). Go to www.jaehakim.com to read more of Kim's work.
Never mind that his mother was a photographer. It was his prize-winning photo of a tree in the Cascade Mountains that whet his appetite for photography at the age of 12. Since then, Denton Morris has traveled the world in search of that perfect shot. He has climbed to the top of Mayan pyramids in Belize, lit incense at the world's largest freestanding Buddha in Hong Kong and dived into cenotes in the Yucatan Peninsula where the first inhabitants of North America were found. While in Melbourne, he downed a few well-earned pints--all in the name of good photo journalism, of course. Morris is a certified scuba diver who specializes in underwater photography. He has a physics degree from the University of Washington (Go, Huskies!) and a MBA from North Central College, neither of which has helped him frame a shot.
