      <title>Photos: My Scholarship entry - If i close my eyes, i'm not not here</title>
      <description>I found a way to watch into myself. I think that photos are the best way to discover yourself, because images are a direct link between our feelings and the world, without the limits of words. Travel photos are so linked to our souls in a single moment that maybe we can understand the real sense of our soul/shot only when we watch it after months. According to me, sometimes, watching photos after a travel is like meeting a new person, somebody that is not completely me, because is influenced by the new things that surround  and bring him far from his usual life, breaking certainties.
I hope to have the possibility to go on with this selection, beacuse travelling and working with  a man of the national geographic team is something that can change my life. To become part of something that i could only watch.
There are no more explorators in the world, but when you discover these lifes, you undestand that maybe photo-reporters are the last ones.
Thank you for the possibility!</description>
