Ishima, Japan https://journals.worldnomads.com/alexpettiford/ Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:44:17 GMT World Nomads Adventures I could sit here and pick my brain trying to come up with something to make myself sound impressive but the fact is there is nothing on this planet I would rather be doing than documenting my own perspective and showing people what it is really like outside their idealistic sanctuaries. I want to adventure. Take risks and go through situations that no one in their "right" mind would. Get in harms way to get a real taste of what is going on at that time. A philosophy of mine that will stick with me is "Explore. Be Curious" Places I would relish to photograph: Liberia (West Africa), Lahore (Pakistan), Kampala (Uganda), CIUDAD JUAREZ (Mexico) to name some and ever since I got into cameras I've been anxious to travel to Chernobyl to check the schools. I collect old Nat Geo magazines from 1960-70-80 for the photography. https://journals.worldnomads.com/alexpettiford/photos/36774/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Japan alexpettiford https://journals.worldnomads.com/alexpettiford/photos/36774/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/alexpettiford/photos/36774/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Tue, 1 Jan 2013 14:51:41 GMT 0
