Passion, progression, vision and growth. My current biggest passions in life are photography, culture, the natural environment and their conservation. Through photography I learn, grow, document and make a difference by sharing how I see the world and what i see in it. my teachers are the best there are; everyone and everything adds to my experience and knowledge. I don’t see it as trial and error. more trial and meticulous deconstruction, then evaluation of where and how to improve. i pick peoples brains; asking questions and combing second hand book shops for photography treasures; like books by martin hawes, galen rowell and ansel adams. i vacuum up all the photography, travel, environment and conservation related material i can afford. I thrive through the generosity of others with knowledge and camera gear. not just look but see. To create vision and evocative emotive masterpieces with strong messages through photos is my aim. to use this to experience different cultures and environments is my biggest desire. to protect them from degradation and destruction my goal. i have learnt a lot by going through the processes for this application, thankyou for the oppourtunity https://journals.worldnomads.com/danielhaley/photos/32270/Australia/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry Travel Australia danielhaley https://journals.worldnomads.com/danielhaley/photos/32270/Australia/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/danielhaley/photos/32270/Australia/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry Tue, 8 Nov 2011 13:52:00 GMT 0
