The photos received were judged by three judges. Our first judge Lowell Baumunk III is from Littleton, Colorado, hybridizes in all classes of bearded irises, and was twice a Winner in our 2006 photo contest. Lowell is heavily involved in photography, but his work is by no means limited to irises. You can see some of his work at www.iriscolorado.com. Our second judge, Kathy Chilton, currently is RVP of Region 15, is an AIS judge, and resides in Tucson, Arizona. She is an avid photographer and was Editor of the Region 15 bulletin for several years. Our third judge, Betty Coyle is also an AIS judge, is past RVP of Region 14, served many offices in Region 14, and served as AIS Convention Chair for the 2004 AIS Convention in Fresno, Calif.
