My Scholarship entry - My Kind of Adventure
WORLDWIDE | Monday, 15 October 2012 | Views [748] | Scholarship Entry
When I was 4 my mom chose to dress me up like a European porcelain doll & capture the moment. More entertained w/the actual camera than flashing my pearly whites,I asked for my own. That lens transformed into my looking glass & curiosity took me from hobby to study to the flicker in my eyes being my private shutter. My infatuation w/photography was soon accompanied w/my enchantment of filmmaking. Camera in hand, the explorer, gypsy & humanitarian in me flourished. I have always dreamed of working for companies like Nat Geo & Travel channel & even opening an orphanage. Dipping my hands in travel photography, documentary filmmaking, production & volunteering (some w/IVHQ) have left me extremely fortunate. However, none of it has let me showcase my capabilities to uncover the nestled parts of the world waiting to be captured. All this need to observe the unfamiliar..costs a lot of $! I created my video based on my philosophy that $ should not inhibit the spirit of traveling. I've never had anything handed to me on a silver platter but sometimes that symbolic door just won't open because the key is no where to be found. I'm hoping this opportunity allows me to unlock my own door ;-)
