An's journal https://journals.worldnomads.com/annguyen/ Tue, 7 Apr 2026 23:56:32 GMT World Nomads Adventures I was given my first camera in grade 10, a small point and shoot camera and have engaged in photography since, reading through photography websites to master the techniques. For a long time I thought my photos were nice, but soon these photos of pets, flowers... became tasteless. I tried to find a source of inspiration for my photos. I discovered that traveling adds a distinct feeling to photography, and in turns photography makes a journey much more memorable (not only in literal sense). Carrying my camera out to explore new places becomes my most enjoyable activity. With a camera in hand, you'll become a more attentive observer of your surrounding, and can notice angles, faces,... that you normally don't without a photographic intention. Photography means more than self-expression. It's a medium to keep & share moments and feelings at a certain place and time, for a moment captured is preserved forever together with the thought and feeling I have when pressing the shutter speed. I'm still nowhere near a photography career, but this dream keeps growing bigger. This scholarship'll be an incredible opportunity for me to be guided and inspired to step into professional photography. https://journals.worldnomads.com/annguyen/photos/39661/Thailand/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Thailand annguyen https://journals.worldnomads.com/annguyen/photos/39661/Thailand/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/annguyen/photos/39661/Thailand/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 14 Jan 2013 13:20:00 GMT 0
