Love https://journals.worldnomads.com/aaronsmith/ Sun, 5 Apr 2026 14:39:56 GMT World Nomads Adventures The first time i ever picked up a camera i was at the young age of 15. There i stood holding my Canon SLR film camera excited like a little kid on christmas morning, about to take my first ever photograph and i hold the camera to my eye and click the film rolls to the next slide. The feeling that i got from the sounds of the shutter going off and the film rolling over i will never forget. I experienced the same feeling seeing the people of Africa. It really made me think about the importance of photography. In a world of change i hope to achieve, through my photography, a sense of performance, and if things can't be saved, they can be remembered through photo journalism. I currently work in retail and find very little time to work on my photography so I would love the opportunity to be mentored by renowned National Geographic photographer, Jason Edwards. Being able to improve my photography skills and knowledge would be an experience of a lifetime. Thank you for taking the time to look over my application and I hope you consider me as a strong candidate. https://journals.worldnomads.com/aaronsmith/photos/38720/South-Africa/My-Scholarship-entry-Love Travel South Africa aaronsmith https://journals.worldnomads.com/aaronsmith/photos/38720/South-Africa/My-Scholarship-entry-Love#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/aaronsmith/photos/38720/South-Africa/My-Scholarship-entry-Love Sun, 13 Jan 2013 21:41:00 GMT 0
