TRANQUILLITY less expected, more achieved

My Scholarship entry - Gunungkidul, The Tale of Water in Deserted Place

Indonesia | Monday, November 24, 2014 | 5 photos

It has never been easy to create a dream comes true: earn a living by doing what we love. I find my self torn apart between my daily routine as a lecturer and my real passion: travel and documentary photography. Although I am teaching in a university on my discipline, visual media and culture, my daily routine has been filled by more administrative works rather than field photography activities. I have learnt and enhanced my photography knowledge and skill during my study in Australia. I am actually an outdoor person. I love any kind of field experiences and I love to use photography as my instrument as well as my “epistemology” to understand the world we live in with all its essences. I believe photography is one of the best ways to encounter the diversity of nature, understand the ways of life, the variety of culture, and the mixture of ideas spread throughout the world. These are my drive to take a better shot in every photograph I make because I also believe that sharing is as meaningful as creating. Winning this travel photography scholarship will be my key to unlock the “new gate” in professional photography, so I will be able to connect the worlds by the pictures I create.
