The year of my life- Snapshots from a journey of emancipation

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Brighton dreaming: Most people would either be arrested or hospitalised for willingly lying stomach-down on the promenade of stony Brighton beach in freezing wind wind conditions. I had popped out of my hostel quickly in less than weather-appropriate clothing to buy a snack when I saw the sunset approaching. I ran down to the promenade were I came across this puddle, and risking hypothermia, this is where i stayed until the sunset left- clicking away at my camera whilst curious locals and tourists cast me strange looks. Why was she photographing a puddle? Australia was in drought, but had she really been this deprived of rainwater? The result was beautiful, but it took me several cups of tea and a night in bed to bring warmth back to my body. Once again though- it was a moment that inevitably needed to be captured.
