My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

USA | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 5 photos

After travelling the world on and off for the last twelve years I feel as though its time for me to focus my energies on a career I will not only love but will also enrich the lives of others.
Visiting the National Geographic 50 Greatest Photos exhibition in Vegas touched me in ways I couldn't imagine and I want to bring that emotion to others.

I'm only a novice photographer but feel this is to my advantage as I haven't developed too many bad habits yet (I hope!), am eager to learn, and be mentored by one of the best in the field. I have a good eye for shots but require further technical skills and experience to complement that.
Visiting Greenland would be a fascinating experience and even as a seasoned traveller the magnitude of scenes and landscapes there would be unparalleled.

I'm excited for this opportunity not only to further my photographic skills and learn more in ten days then I could possibly imagine, but also to combine that with my love for travel and the excitement that new opportunity brings.
