My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

USA | Friday, July 5, 2013 | flickr photos

I’m an aspiring photographer who loves quirky pets, the wisdom of children, is inspired by music & language, and spends as much time as possible surrounded by nature. My greatest passion is traveling & I’ve been fortunate to embark on a few journeys & these experiences have made a significant impact on my life. My journalism degree prepared me to create narratives, and this background along with my love of the history of people & places, allows me to authentically capture engaging content. Through my photography, I hope to encourage others to see things from a different perspective & feel connected to a world that is bigger than the backyard; I want to foster collaboration & accountability to each other & for our actions as individuals. An eager learner with no formal training, I’m ecstatic for the opportunity to receive hands on mentoring from Jason Edwards. This scholarship would cultivate the skills needed to develop as a photographer & turn my insatiable curiosity, wanderlust & love of photography, into a lifelong career. It would be an adventure of a lifetime to learn alongside Jason & capture the rough & real landscape of Greenland.
