However, having just put the ribbon on the November/December 2011 edition, I can honestly say that this is clearly in my Top Two. Earlier this year we announced plans for our first ever international photo contest, inviting photographers from around the world ? inside the subsea technology field and out ? to submit to us their most com-pelling images regarding the diving and undersea technology industry. The results far exceeded expectations in terms of quantity and quality, with participants sub- mitting more than 500 images including acoustic imagery, people, vehicles & structures, and ocean life. Starting with the cover and continuing on page 34, have a look at the images that make up MTR?s First Annual Image contest. This month we welcome Rhonda Moniz into the editorial fold. You can read Rhonda?s impressive credentials on page 4, and I?m betting you will see a lot more of her in print and online at www.SeaDiscovery.com , as she has recently started a twice-weekly blog on this spot, as well as taken on editorial duties in the creation of our daily news and information. This edition marks the first time she has appeared in print, and it is a tremendous debut by my estimation. Last year on cruise with Dr. Robert Ballard as an ROV Pilot and Engineer, Rhonda had the opportunity to spend some time with Marty Klein , widely regarded (and conferred here!) as the ?Godfather of Side Scan Sonar.? Last month Rhonda spent some timeinterviewing Marty in his home, and the result is an insightful and informative article on a true subsea technology pioneer. All rights reserved.
