My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Dominican Republic | Thursday, December 27, 2012 | 5 photos

Life is a journey toward perfection not always we reached it but is our duty to insist on it.

Some years ago when the music that flowed from my violin was my way to keep my mind full of creativity and my senses alive I still looked for that element that could sum up much more necessity inside me to create something unique that reflect amazement, character and a sense of history and especially that require a constant renewal effort from myself. Between drawers I found an old camera that became my main instrument of expression and today is an accomplice of my desires and my craziest ideas.

My purpose through photography is to be able to leave a visible legacy to my future generations of the world its traditions and expressions like I see them today.

Being aware of the key to success “to take a chance” I could not miss bringing some of me to this opportunity of learning and better yet be part of it, because it is the challenge I’ve been waiting for to proof I can become that courageous photographer that I admire in everyone that is brave enough to search happiness beyond what you see with the naked eye and bring a new perspective through an image.

Sincerely
Jose E. Fernandez
