A tea-guzzling, camera-wielding
twenty-year-old, Emily DING is well on
her way to local fame: she is expecting to be sued for
overt paparazzi activities. (Watch this space.) However,
she also leads another more sober life studying Law in London .
She is indeed very much interested in the field of Law,
and is not simply studying for job security. Obviously,
she is far too optimistic. |

Krystin LOW possesses
an appropriately jaundiced view of what little she knows
of the world. A walking contradiction, she is an aspiring
writer and a rampant pessimist, rambunctious and an introspective
brooder. Excessive blogging is Krystin’s current addiction
as she grapples with accepting that the answers don’t always
come in the same envelope as the questions. |

Daniel REGAN
is a photography student living in Brighton, England, with
a keen eye for creating images as a means of processing
and documenting human emotion. He started creating images
as an alternative means to keeping a textual diary, in order
to articulate and document the range of emotions that he
experiences on a day-to-day basis. Daniel is a strong believer
in art remaining as a personal platform for artists. A great
deal of his work involves self-portraiture in some way or
heavy emphasis on the human body and dark aesthetics. Daniel
finds beauty in every day objects, the human form, the sheer
uniquity of human design and the art in simply breathing.

Maria is a Norwegian
high school student wishing for nothing but ten extra hours
in the day. As she is a stressed-out procrastinating perfectionist
unable to work efficiently toward her IB diploma, she should
be limiting her activities to school work only. Consequently,
the people surrounding her tend to find her obsession with
photography strange as she just can’t help starting to snap
photos whenever she encounters a fascinating image. Maria’s
current aim in life is to graduate from high school in one
piece. Only then will she dare to look ahead at the future
and philosophize on the meaning of life and art. Visit her

Charlie O'SHIELDS
is a 33-year-old Aries who was born in Kansas City, Missouri,
and somehow managed to never leave it. He currently works
as a Creative Director at an interactive design company,
and if you don't know what that means exactly, don't worry,
his mother doesn't either. He has a BA in Studio Art, and
I have held several full-time, part-time and one-time jobs
including, but not limited to, siding installer, real estate
agent, singer, clown, playwright, copywriter, violinist,
tap and jazz instructor, professional actor, industrial
designer, art director, and marketing consultant.
He's been photographing things for years, but has only
recently started taking photos regularly. He takes pictures
of pretty much anything that catches his eye and captures
his imagination. His site, Always
Curious, is an odd collection of these photos that
he blatantly shares publicly for anyone out there who
might also be curious. |

Shane LAVALETTE
is an aspiring young photographer out of Vermont, USA. Shane’s
appreciation for the world is clearly contagious and has
been with him since childhood.
Even before Shane had a passion for the art, or rather,
had a title for his passion, he found himself playing
with a Ninja Turtle camera. Complete with green plastic
casing and 'turtle power', the camera was adopted as a
four year old’s instrument of interpretation. Shane’s
mode of photography has since advanced, but still he manages
to make magic with the tools at hand. A lot of his vision
exists as digital photography that is edited with a knowledge
of imaging programs, but Shane always comes back to film,
the simplicity of Polaroids, and the beauty of the Holga
negative.
Shane’s photography has received public recognition
and acclaim. His ability to turn everyday life into magic
won’t ever cease to impress. On the journey through his
site, you’ll discover that in flying, birds dance. In
walking, men cry. In playing, two hands form one smile.
In moments that whisper, a red shoe can scream. Buildings
talk and eyes stare cold as stone.
Going through Shane’s photographs is a bit like turning
to through the pages of a Dr. Seuss book while listening
to the music of Xiu Xiu. Everything is brilliantly surreal,
light and heavy. Whimsical at times, romantic, twisted,
fun, silly, sad, and just plain lovely. Some try to capture
these genuine emotions through words, paintings, film,
and theater. At seventeen, Shane needs only his camera.

David NIGHTINGALE
lives in the North of England with his wonderful wife, sometimes
model, and his marvellous "oh not another picture, please"
children. Heˆll soon be moving from the hills of Yorkshire
to the candyfloss and glitz of Blackpool, and is looking
forward to being back by the sea after being away for far
too long. Heˆs been totally obsessed with his photolog
for the last six months or so, and really should do other
things as well, like concentrate on his job as a lecturer
in higher education. When he grows up he wants to be a photographer.
