While putting together our national database of camera clubs I have "met" some wonderful photographers.
Dennis Walton of the Bellingham Photography Club in Bellingham Washington has traveled internationally with camera in hand, take a minute and look at his work.
Karen I. Hirsch is a commercial photographer (and also does outstanding nautical as well) and is a member of the Fort Dearborn-Chicago Photo Forum, you can learn more about Karen and view some of her work at her website.
