My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Nepal | Sunday, January 13, 2013 | 5 photos

I am constantly seeking education and stimulation to add to my life experience. My sense of exploration grows bigger the more I learn. I cherish sharing my experiences and share others their own. Photography is a universal language and I have a passion to take a photo that symbolizes an emotion, marks a fact, documents a moment or tells a story. It is why I am participating in this contest because it touches the values driving me to take a photo. Motivated by a good searching eye, spontaneous fine feelings and passion for Nature and People, I will never give up taking a photo over and over again until I am satisfied that it produces the same emotions I am having while taking it. Two years ago I participated in the UAE national day photo contest and I won the first prize not because I was clever but because it has taken me one year to take the photo the way I was impressed by it in the first place. I have participated in several photography courses, yet, I am not sure I have enough skills. I do wish to have a real expert mentor who can assess and guide me if my skills and passion can be progressed to something bigger and enjoyable like being a documenting traveler.
