My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Russian Federation | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

I am Diana. I was born in Russia, in the country with great potential, but with crippled head after the Soviet Union .. It is still assumed here to go with the flow and rail on fate. The same did I until realization that I can not longer betray myself and my talents. I got education in the field of molecular biology, but photography was and remains my favorite pastime and the way of seeing the World. After 15 years in biology I understood that I have been mistaken in choosing a career and I want to change the situation. Just by the time passes it is more and more difficult to do so. This summer I will be 30 and by that age it is supposed to have a number of things like family, children, career. I have nothing of it but dream of being and work as a photographer. I attempt to turn the well-worn rut of life in a new direction, but it is going very hard. The reasons are mentality of the country and age. But I do not leave my attempts to retrain as a full-fledged photographer and I go against the flow till I have strength. I am looking for support on this difficult path of my cherished desire. The possibility which World Nomands gives is a guiding star for me.
