My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Portugal | Friday, July 5, 2013 | flickr photos

Hi!

I am Alex from Porto, Portugal and i would love to consider my self as a professional photographer. Yes, i would love to make a living in photography and yes, i know how hard that is.

When i was deciding my next step after high school the idea of going to photography school came to mind, actually, it flooded my mind, it was the only thing i could imagine doing. My mother always told me to do what i love or else i could be miserable doing something i dont enjoy for the rest of my life. So, i went to photography school knowing that it would be hard making a living out of it. But i believe thats part of the essence of being a photographer, being an artist... An artist will live under a bridge if he needs to, in order to pursue his passion.

I currently work at a hostel, and i see new travellers and hear new stories every day. I want to have those stories, i want to travel and do what i love.
Pick me and help my achieve my hopes and dreams.
Teach me how to make it!

Alex
