The Creation and Strength of Human Bonds

My Scholarship entry - Human Bonding: Strength in the Situation

USA | Saturday, November 22, 2014 | 5 photos

Hey there! I am a sophomore at Berry college in Rome, Georgia. I have always had a passion for photography and got a start in it with surf photography in my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. Action/adventure sports are some of my favorite past times and I always enjoy bringing a camera along to capture epic moments. I believe the best photography tells a story about its subject. It is more than just snapping a picture or setting up a specific scene. It is capturing life in its rawest form. Natural...candid...powerful. My photos are focused around human bonding and interaction. Certain activities or situations lead to bonding. Bonding may come naturally, or even unexpectedly. Sports teams, families, friends, and lovers all have some type of social bonding that occurs in their relationships. How do these different situations affect these bonds? How can we judge the strength of a bond? So many interesting questions can be raised. It is fascinating to look at the bonds and to see whether they are motivated by love or a striving for personal gain.
