Nippon Between the Light

My Scholarship entry - The Noble Eightfold Path

Japan | Sunday, November 23, 2014 | 5 photos

The capacity for a photo to be so candid about a subject has driven me to travel solo to a few far-reaching locations and attempt to capture them for what I felt they were, at that time, to me. It is by no means a vocation I have even begun to master, but it is one that I have now strived to learn sincerely enough to realise this truth, and pursue honestly the depths of this art form for which i have unearthed a true passion. I truly wish to capture and tell the stories that are to be told via the medium of photography, and bring something of my own to the ever-expanding collage of incredible work that so many photographers the world over have had to offer through both their eyes, and lens. I am of the age now where I have been around long enough to understand just how little I really know; the value of hard work and sweat on the brow; the importance of team-work through the coalescence of individuals; and, if you can believe it, the true worth of silence and patience. I’ve grown up in the wee town of Queenstown, NZ, and have been exceptionally privileged to see first hand the beauty that can unfold if you’re willing to wait and watch. I’m also no stranger to a hike or a tent.
