From the Monitor:

“Gannaway spent nearly five years as a Monitor photographer, where her
assignments ranged from high school sports to presidential politics.
Her work won numerous awards. In 2005, for example, she was named New
England Photographer of the Year by the National Press Photographers
Association. This year, the St. Pierre project won two awards in the
prestigious Pictures of the Year International competition.

Before working for the Monitor, Gannaway
was a photo intern at newspapers in New Mexico and Maine. She began her
career at the Coalfield Progress in Virginia after earning a bachelor’s
degree in fine art photography at Virginia Intermont College.

Gannaway left the Monitor last month and
– after a celebration in Concord today – starts a new job at the Rocky
Mountain News in Denver this week.”
