UK freelance photographer:
Steve Morgan, 45
Steve Morgan was in California to document the
protest at Vandenberg.
Inspite of his internationally recognised independent credentials Steve is
one of two journalists who also face charges.
Steve has been a professional photographer for over twenty years. After a
degree in zoology from Leeds University, Steve started out as the
photographer on the local weekly paper. From there he moved to London,
becoming one of the established freelance photographers for UK broadsheet
newspapers.
His work has taken him around the globe, working for
mainstream
international magazines and newspapers. His assignments have included
stints
in Bosnia, Croatia and Somalia for Gamma Presse Image as well as
commissions
for Greenpeace UK in Antarctica,
the Amazon, Borneo and Cameroon.
Steve has also worked for Action Aid and
Water Aid from Gambia to Bolivia. One of his most recent ventures was a
book
documenting the national cycle network in the UK. He is married to Heather
and tries to spend as much time as possible with her and their two young
children George, who's four and Henry who is just three years old.
Bill Nandris

and Boat Building qualification from Southampton Technical
College as well as a degree in Archeology from Southampton

"When asked why I work for Greenpeace, the answer is simple -
the world is a better place for having Greenpeace in it".
John Wills
John studied Marine Geography at the University of Wales. He was inspired to help in the protection of the planet when a close friend lost his life while working with the Khama Rhino Sanctuary in Botswana.
He has many environmental concerns, one being the proximity of the Cap la Hague nuclear reprocessing plant to his native island. John has always lived in a close relationship with the sea and enjoys surfing and sailing - and has worked on the Greenpeace ship The Rainbow Warrior.
"I want to live on a nuclear free planet. I would like to see a world where renewable energy is available for all mankind and the protection of the environment is considered before profit. I want to be able to say that I am someone who tried to make the world a better place for future generations rather than simply contributing to its deterioration."
