Nepal

My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

Worldwide | Friday, August 13, 2010 | 5 photos

WhereThereBeDragons offered me a $6000 scholarship toward an arts trip in Nepal. From June to July, in 2009, I lived in Nepal for one month off of only one dollar a day. The Shakyas, a Newari woodcarving family, took me in as a son for three weeks and showed me their way of life as learned their language and carved wood. My submission illustrates stories of a few of my profound experiences in Nepal.
I deserve this scholarship because it is the next step toward my dream of becoming a full-time professional photographer. Here are a few of my qualifications:

NFAA Young Arts Finalist (Named as one of the top 5 high school senior photographers in the nation. Attended Arts Week.)
NASA High School Aerospace Scholar (Competed against 1000‘s and was selected to work for a week at Johnson Space Center with the Astronauts.)
ATPI Texas Imagemaker (Named as one of the top 10 student photographers in Texas both in 2009 and 2010)
NANPA Scholarship Recepient (Sponsored by Darrel Gulin, Attended Summit, Became close friends with Karine Aigner NAT GEO, Arthur Morris, and Lewis Kemper)
Earthwatch Fellow
NYU Tisch Photography Scholarship ($12,000/year)
Sponsored by Tyler Stableford Canon Explorer of Light (Tyler bought me my Canon 5D Mark II and 24-105 lens.)

During the summer of my sophomore year, I was invited to go on the class photography trip to Bhutan; however, I could not go because my family had no money to send me. Could this be destiny?

Everything is One, and we are all connected. We all have divinity within us, and we have the power to cocreate anything it is that our minds can conceive. I have been deeply involved with spirituality, mediation, QiGong, and astral projection since I was 13.
