My Scholarship entry - Muir Beach

USA | Thursday, January 10, 2013 | 4 photos

I'm 25 years old and enjoy traveling, learning about the world and environment, and connecting with genuine people. I love fresh flowers, listening to music, drawing, my cat, riding bikes, good conversations, board games, and a nice meal.

My art work is focused on genuine human moments and human interaction with the environment. I enjoy shooting film and use my iPhone as a means to produce real-time digital photography. A photo is a document of the human experience, and life experiences are what I aim to capture every time I pull out a camera. I want to experience all that I can, and photography allows me to document those experiences in precisely the way I want to remember them. The power of the lens is not lost with me. I value form and technique, context and taste.

With this opportunity, I hope to gain a broader perspective on life and it's wonders. I hope to strengthen myself and skills, and build upon the knowledge I've gained through my life experiences. I am ready to assist and have a strong desire to learn and grow. I want to immerse myself in other languages, cultures, and terrains, and connect more-closely with the land and nature through travel and photography.
