A 'place' I have visited

Dear Sirs, I was born and raised in Greece and after I completed my A levels, I successfully joined the University of Ioannina (north-west Greece), where I graduated in 2011 from the department of ''Fine Arts and Art Sciences''. The April of the same year, I moved to London, as I believed that this city could offer me great opportunities of working and learning, first as human being and second as an artist. From April to present, I do street photography. From August 2012 to January 2013 I worked as a studio photographer- sales coordinator where I gained a significant knowledge in studio-digital photography. From January 2013 to May 2013, I did street-documentary photography in Athens and Tirana. The camera that I am using, is the analogue Canon A1, lences: 50mm, 28mm, 75-200mm, no flash, and usually I work with 400 b&w ilford or kodak professional films. I do not believe that I deserve more than my competitors, but I strongly believe that I would appreciate more than anybody else in the world,this -once in life-opportunity to satisfy my hunger for knowledge which is going to bring me closer to wisdom. Yours sincerelly, Athena Barka
