Velasco's Road trip

My Scholarship entry - Baja Peninsula Road Trip

Mexico | Sunday, November 23, 2014 | 5 photos

Ever since I was a little boy I have had a passion and love for animals and nature. When I was just a few years old, my parents thought that my passion for wildlife was a just hobby. As I grew up, however, they realized that I had a deeper connection with nature than they had expected. This could be after the heart attacks they would nearly have when I would grab snakes or possibly after I told them that I was charged by a white rhino and I was on foot. Apart from my passion to animals, I love to travel, visit new places and learn about different cultures. Fortunately, just a few years ago, I had the opportunity to do a wildlife conservation internship in South Africa for 6 months where I worked as the Coordinator of a Cheetah Conservation Project. I should be chosen because I have the passion, determination and dedication to take wildlife photos no matter the weather or the place. I would love even more guidance on taking pictures to not only show their beauty but to be able to show emotions and tell their story. Recently my family and I made a road trip though the Baja Peninsula and it was simply stunning. The history, culture and wildlife are breath taking in each place I go. I hope you like and find the same passion in my photos.
