Royalty Free Picture Show of the Dallas Welcome to Nastia Liukin

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 22, 2008 -
Dallas TX  What an incredible homecoming! Nastia was greeted by a crowd of proud friends, friends-to-be, Americans, and world citizens alike in what was a very moving and warm reception at DFW airport at Terminal B, Gate 35, just after 4:15 when she arrived. Now only two hours old, royalty-free pictures of the entire event are available to the press and public on www.US-Immigration-Explained.com

Stefano Riznyk, the CEO of US-Immigration-Explained.com is a big fan of the Olympics and a believer in the “one world” concept. This is ironic as he runs a company that markets a DVD that explains US Immigration. “When one person wins in the Olympics, we all win, and it really doesn’t matter where we’re from, we’re all people, all sharing the same dreams, hopes, and needs” he states.

Fortunate to be able to take the late afternoon off to be part of Nastia’s welcoming crowd, he wants to share the experience with people who weren’t able to take time off work or had other commitments to attend to. “I have always loved the Olympics, because they symbolize what I personally stand for” he states “and to be lucky enough to recently find myself living in the city where the number one female gymnast in the world is landing after winning 5 Olympic medals and the gold for all-around….what great luck”. Continuing “You couldn’t have stopped me from being part of this fantastic event, and I wish everyone could have been there. She was fantastic and the atmosphere was simply electric”.

Camera in hand, he went to DFW and took a number of pictures that portray the entire experience, from before her arrival to her departure in the stretch limousine. These pictures are available for free download with no credits or royalty attached to them. They are for everyone to download, maybe even Nastia! If you would like to get your copy of the experience log onto www.US-Immigration-Explained.com and there will be a link on the home page to the 105 shots. “The ones out of focus are intentional” he states, but we know better. He goes on to state “More companies should consider adopting a human approach to business. We may be a company, but people work in it. We turn on the TV at work to watch the Olympics, for example. If one of us gets pictures of them why not post them for all to enjoy? I don’t think adding the human touch makes a company any less professional; on the contrary, it connects us. After all, we, humanity, all comprise one team. One way or another, we all stand on someone else’s shoulders to arrive at our own dreams”.

The web site, www.US-Immigration-Explained.com, popular due to its easy-to-understand updates of US immigration law, has wanted to portray more of a world-community feel for its global audience. It is implementing a software that will allow its readers to post pictures of global events they experience for everyone to share. An important part of the program is that photos will be shared free with no royalty or credit necessary, “it’s people honoring great people, wherever on the planet they may be”. Although that software is not operational yet, their lead developer implemented a system whereby readers can download all or any of the pictures Mr. Riznyk took today. He stated “What a great first set of pictures for our world album, and in my favorite Olympic sport..I hope everybody enjoys them”.

Nastia Liukin, born October 30th 1989, came home with 5 medals, tying a record held by Mary Lou Retton (1984) and Shannon Miller (1992). Interestingly, she has one more medal than her father Valeri, something we are certain doesn’t bother him one bit. She captured the Olympic gold in the all-around in Bejing, twenty years after her father won two gold medals at the Seoul Olympics in 1988. She won a silver medal with the U.S. tem, and a bronze for her floor exercise. In a much-debated tie-breaking system, she placed second on the uneven bars to He Kexin of China, and won silver on the beam. We wish her continued success and a wonderful career ahead…as we wish all of the medalists of the 2008 Bejing Olympic Games.
