A place I have visited

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Switzerland | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

Hello my name is Glenn and I am a 26 year old who loves the world we live in and nothing makes me more happy then making other people laugh and smile, I go with the flow.

At High School I came first in Photography and thought "you know what, I could make this my profession one day" but I went to college and got a diploma in 3D Animation then got a job working for my dad as an Estimator, and have been stuck in that hole ever since.

That was until I got an SLR and traveled through Europe.

I got my first SLR last year from my girlfriends dad for my birthday, as I had to stop working when my girlfriend got diagnosed with MS and I couldn't afford a dream camera for our dream trip.

Being a bit of a documentary buff I have always had a dream to go out and explore the world and show all it has to give, both good and bad through photos.

What makes me want to take the best photos that I can possibly take is because I want to one day make photography not just a hobby but a career.

I believe that the 'hands on' approach is the best way to gain knowledge and learn, and this would be the greatest opportunity to gain these skills on the path to become a photographer.
