Lost in Ladakh https://journals.worldnomads.com/candletree/ Sat, 4 Apr 2026 05:01:28 GMT World Nomads Adventures Not until the year 2009 I could afford to buy a camera. It led to the discovery that I had a latent passion for photography but financial restrictions didn't allow me to pursue it as a profession. However, there was a deep sense of discontentment and restlessness. So, the following year, after a long deliberation, research and detailed planning took 45 days off from my work to travel and photograph. By the end of this journey, realized that this is what I wanted to do most and this was what drove me. Yet again there was a financial and personal setback, which threw things off track. Winning a few small photography competitions and getting a couple of work featured in international magazines/website though made me even more determined. From last year I’ve began to seriously consider photography as an alternate career but most importantly joined a part time photography school with the intention to study. An opportunity to learn under someone, who considers photography not only as a career but has immense love and understanding of it, is my dream. https://journals.worldnomads.com/candletree/photos/41086/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel India candletree https://journals.worldnomads.com/candletree/photos/41086/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/candletree/photos/41086/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Fri, 31 May 2013 19:10:00 GMT 0
