“Last night, I was on the threshold of hell. Today, I’m within sight of my heaven. I have
my eyes on it; hardly three feet to sever me!” – Wuthering Heights

I have been in love with this book since I was 13 and stole this book from my mother’s bookshelf. Needless to say, that was the day I became a lover of books. On my road to reading, I discovered the power of words that led their reader into a wondrous realm of imagination and creativity. Compelled and inspired by the great works of our classics like Homer, Wordsworth, Shakespeare, Emily Bronte, and many like them, I began to write. My words are my paint, my brush is my pen and my canvas is my world. My only hobby other than reading and writing is painting. (boring I know )

Stach Rogalski

Ambassador of Australia

Well, I am a 34 year old father of two who lives in the City of Bunbury, roughly two hours South of Perth, as a car drives.
I have lived in Western Australia all of those 34 years and have travelled the world once back in 1998. That trip saw me spend time in North America and then England.

My road into photography started when I was 25, initially getting into Photoshop 7 and becoming pretty good with editing and image manipulation/correction/posters/logos etc. I then picked up my first Kodak point and shoot about 6 months later and began to shoot near on anything. I progressed from the 1.3mp Kodak to another kodak that was 3.1mp, then onto a 5mp Kodak point n shoot, followed by a Fuji Fine Pix S7000 12mp compact camera and then got my first DSLR after that, which was the Canon 300D. Following that I went the 400D and now have my current 40D as well as three great lenses, two L series and one EFS 10-22mm wide angle.

The automotive side of things took hold age 18 so shooting cars later in life was a no brainer. Started shooting 1:18 scale models first and then moved onto the 1:1 or real life cars. As I got better my work expanded and so did my talents, through word of mouth and friends and friends of friends etc. Finally got offered a position working for a Car magazine, and things took off from there. Also got work shooting items/products and car shows for a performance car establishment namely Pro Auto, located in Canning vale here in W.A. – They specialise in after market parts for Holden LS series cars and also do your run of the mill servicing for log books.

Anyways my photography has branched off over the years an I enjoy shooting a multitude of subjects/places etc. Favourite subjects include Landscape/Portrait/Architecture and Macro. I am a qualified automotive spray painter and fitness instructor – having done both my Certificate III’s in these fields, also skilled in car/bike detailing and modifying. Hoping to purchase my next camera body, either a Canon 5D Mark II or Mark III, soon.

Oh, have been married to my beautiful wife Emma for just over 12 years now and we are growing so much every year.

That’s about it!.

Oksana

Head Representative Europe

Everyone on Earth has their own aims and expections. What will you leave after you die? House, money and kids? Maybe. Hello everyone my name is Oksana, and i’m a school leaver from Ukraine. I want to accomplish something important for everyone not only for myself. My hobbies are: reading, listening to music, taking photos (especially landscapes), embroidery, cycling and swimming.

Every day our world changes due to technological development, but culture, mentality and customs will never change; they are still the same. We don’t see the words that surrounds us. We always hurry up looking for something materialistic, but we forget about the things that make us closer to each other. Family. Love. Friendship. We are all different but we have common interests and aims, so let’s do something important using our possibilities and knowledge. They say: everyone wants to change the world but no one wants to change themselves. It’s true but you are not ‘everyone’, you are unique.

My name is Al-Moatasem Bellah, I’m 20 years old and I’m a 3rd year English Language and Literature student. I like playing soccer, going out, chatting with new people and mainly having fun. I wish to be a tourist guide/leader one day. I want to use my language skills for helping my country in the field of Tourism. I would love to meet a lot of people in the purpose of learning about new cultures.

My message to the world is that Egypt is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The fact that we have a crisis going on in Egypt after the revolution is an ordinary thing. Big nations aren’t measured by size or strength, they are measured by history and hard work.
