Diana Markozashvili https://journals.worldnomads.com/dishart/ Mon, 6 Apr 2026 22:40:23 GMT World Nomads Adventures 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. https://journals.worldnomads.com/dishart/photos/43130/Russian-Federation/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Russian Federation dishart https://journals.worldnomads.com/dishart/photos/43130/Russian-Federation/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/dishart/photos/43130/Russian-Federation/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Fri, 5 Jul 2013 00:02:00 GMT 0 I have been creative since childhood, and although I have pursued a career as a rational scientist, my real nature has never left me in peace. Five years ago, I got my first camera and became enduringly fascinated by the art of photography. It has turned out as a true companion to my passion for adventurous travelling, helping to chronicle and share stories of other people, other cultures and lives. Until now, I have combined my life’s two directions: science and art. But more and more I feel a desire to follow the way of a professional photographer. Three years ago, I left my country to study in France and discover science for real working in a laboratory. In a year’s time, I will finish my PhD and the time of crucial decision will come. I no longer feel that I am predestined to performing lab experiments, but rather to showing others the world that I see in my eyes through the lens of photography. To make my final decision, I need to know what it is really like to be a professional photographer. This scholarship is a great opportunity for me to get to know my life’s alternative path. https://journals.worldnomads.com/dishart/photos/39305/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel India dishart https://journals.worldnomads.com/dishart/photos/39305/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/dishart/photos/39305/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 14 Jan 2013 09:25:41 GMT 0
