My Scholarship entry - Varanasi: Watching Closer

India | Thursday, October 23, 2014 | 5 photos

I'm a kiwi...who unlike the bird has wings that never seen to fly high enough. I can't get enough of this world, so I chose to live abroad and damn well try and do as much as I can!
I've lived in Denmark and seen the beauty of old cobblestone roads and thousands of years of history, I've then made the move to Asia where life has been one giant ball of craziness, and intrigue, and frustration, and love and light. I'm always "taking off" and that's exactly what I did last year in India. And what a beautiful site! Staring into a new world, feeling the sights and smells and surroundings, and knowing for a brief moment they're yours. Yours to keep, photograph, love, explore.
I'll never stop searching for something more. NEVER.
This opportunity makes me want to scream aloud! I have never been anywhere near the AMAZON! but know this opportunity would blow my damn mind. I remember finding a crumpled up old photography magazine (of all things in India) and one of the quotes inside read "if it's not good enough, you're not close enough" I want to get CLOSE ENOUGH. I want to be in the beautiful, enchanting Amazon taking photos of life, glorious life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
