My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Philippines | Friday, December 21, 2012 | 5 photos

Just under 2 years ago I broke my neck (C1 & C2), the same injury as Christopher Reeves actuarially. I was told I may not walk again. To make a long story short I defied all odds and made a full recovery. I am incredibly lucky to be alive and take this with me everywhere I go.

This experience has made me see life in a new way and I am incredibly grateful for every experience I go through. After the accident I vowed to make my vacation my vocation and started making films and taking photos of everything that inspired me.

I see life as a series of photographs and would love the opportunity to shoot all over the world! I feel most alive when I am taking pictures of people in a foreign world. I love to capture the essence of someone or capture a moment in time that cannot be repeated, this to me is the reason I take pictures.

Pictures have shaped, changed and reminded us of our past, I suppose I would like the chance to do the same with my life!

Thanks for this great opportunity, its an amazing idea!

All the best,
