My Scholarship entry - The Horsemen

Mongolia | Monday, November 17, 2014 | 5 photos

I don't give up. I believe in following your dreams and cultivating your passions and talents. I believe that opportunity, discipline, and an open mind are necessary for refining skills and defining possibilities. I also believe that you must build a strong foundation of skills below you before you can reach the dreams above you.

This opportunity to work with Jason will help continue to build a very important foundation. What I have is passion and a belief that I can affect positive change in the world through photographic documentary and storytelling. What I need now is experience and direction, guidance and framework, and a chance to take my skills to the next level. I need to better understand the process of a project and improve my skills to take an idea or cause and create story that people not only see, but also feel. I am beyond ready to focus my abilities to learn and relearn, to inspire and be inspired, to be challenged, and to step out of my comfort zone.

I choose photography because it's powerful and it can truly change how someone sees the world and their place in it. I choose photography because it challenges me, it changes me, and it brings out the best in me.
