Elise Colette journal https://journals.worldnomads.com/elisecolette/ Tue, 7 Apr 2026 13:07:06 GMT World Nomads Adventures Writing. That is what I’ve been doing for a living for ten years.I have learnt how difficult it is to be faithful to the person who tells you his story, his sufferings, his happiness. In that process, I have started to be frustrated with words. Taking photographs. That is what I do when I am not writing. It heals my chagrins. It gives me another reason to catch the other’s eye and continue with what I love: experiencing otherness and wildness. But telling a story with words is different than showing it with pictures. I need directions to turn into a real photojournalist – my deepest wish for now. Ten days of work with Jason would help me get a story out. I want to know what a good picture is and how you choose what to focus on. There is another reason I would love to get this scholarship : I have been traveling a lot to Africa. I need the cold, I want ice, I dream of fjords. I would be the happiest girl to spend hours taking pictures on the glaciers and get warm in the settlements with the Inuits. As for the basic information : I am a French girl, 37 years old, living in Paris. Love swimming and running, delicious food and sweet friends. And my passion is… photography ! https://journals.worldnomads.com/elisecolette/photos/42020/Kyrgyzstan/A-place-I-have-visited Travel Kyrgyzstan elisecolette https://journals.worldnomads.com/elisecolette/photos/42020/Kyrgyzstan/A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/elisecolette/photos/42020/Kyrgyzstan/A-place-I-have-visited Fri, 28 Jun 2013 09:36:00 GMT 0
