A year in the land of fire and ice https://journals.worldnomads.com/adventureiceland/ Sat, 4 Apr 2026 17:04:55 GMT World Nomads Adventures Photography is my passion, it is a driving force in my life and I am constantly inspired to grow and learn as much as possible. I spent the first 3 years of college studying computer science, rarely enjoying it. Last August in a moment of panic and desperation I made a much needed change to geography. I have always had a connection with the natural world and it was also a means of pursuing photography, so it seemed like a logical choice. Since making this change my life has improved greatly. I enjoy my classes, I won an award in cartography from Nat Geo and I am currently living and studying in Iceland. I came here to study the unique and diverse geography, but also to become a better photographer. I have traveled all over this island, gone on great adventures and seen amazing sites. I constantly strive to make each pictures better than the last, whether by using different settings, framing the shot differently, climbing on top of a building to get a better angle or waiting for the perfect lighting. I am critical of my work and always comparing it to others. Given this opportunity, I will make the most of every moment and take in as much knowledge and experience as possible. https://journals.worldnomads.com/adventureiceland/photos/38803/Iceland/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Iceland adventureiceland https://journals.worldnomads.com/adventureiceland/photos/38803/Iceland/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/adventureiceland/photos/38803/Iceland/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 14 Jan 2013 00:01:06 GMT 0
