My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

India | Tuesday, January 8, 2013 | 5 photos

Hi Jason,
I've just returned home from 3 years living and travelling overseas.
My obsessions during this time were BASE jumping & photography. My x-girlfriend said I always cheated on her with them, Mistress photography & Lady BASE!
After living the dream as so many people call it, I've decided to keep chasing my heart even further. BASE is awesome, but I pick up a camera before a parachute when that awesome sunrise comes along.
I'm expecting to be working with you to be inspiring, informative & encouraging. I also expect frustrations, lessons sometimes learnt the hard way, inbetween snippets of sleep - I know it won't be a holiday but I still think we can find some fun along the way.
My series Interactions in India were shot at leisure only after the shock of poverty had washed from my eyes; still plenty on my face. I'm going to be chasing work at home through weddings & portraiture, so I believe this experience in story telling to be invaluable to my future career in the industry. It doesn't matter what aspect, if there's no story, there's no emotion, no interaction, ultimately, no shot. I previously entered in 2011 & will continue until selected.
Your bags belong in my hands!:-)
