I am a 17 year old kid and I got my start in photography when I was handed a 35mm camera and asked to document an event. I enjoy shooting from a photo journalism stand-point and I absolutly love to photograph things some might call trash. This picture is very special to me because it was taken in Rwanda, Africa. The people there hold a special place in my heart. We are in the process of adopting three Rwandan children. Photo taken by Nathan Styffe (United States) - Artistic/Creative

I wanted to look at an often photographed subject and try to get a look that's a little bit out of the ordinary, while also getting a sense of the bright lights of the big city. Taken in New York City, March 2008. Photo taken by Broddi Sigurdarson (United States) - Artistic/Creative

There are moments hiking in the mountains that are difficult to capture because of the light and time of day. I was so pleased when everything worked in this photo. I took the picture September of 2007 in the mountains of Idaho. The lake is on the Norton Lakes trail in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. I think of this picture as a "thank you" to nature. What a gift! Photo taken by Jim Chupa (United States) - Nature

I was trying to show tension in balance, as if the slightest movement would topple the glasses (they really were stacked that way, not photoshopped). The gelatin helps with that, making it look like gravity has gone crazy. Photo taken by Jeffrey Levy (United States) - Artistic/Creative

Whilst taking a walk by the sea front, I found this baby seal on the beach between Walton-on-the-Naze and the Hamford Waters in Essex, England, where there are grey and common seals. It's always a treat to visit their habitat. Photo taken by Silvia Beasley (United Kingdom) - Animals/Pets
