Mother Nature https://journals.worldnomads.com/ellioteliash/ Thu, 16 Apr 2026 02:03:24 GMT World Nomads Adventures My name is Elliot Eliash and I am a native Californian who recently returned from backpacking in Asia with a newfound love for photography. My family is fairly untraveled and when confronted with the fact that I was quitting a good job with a one-way ticket to a country I had never visited, the responses ranged from confused to frustrated. Photography became a way to both interact with my surroundings while I was away and bring my family along into a lifestyle I found so enjoyable and fascinating. Photography has become my gateway to exploration and the way I can translate that joy to those around me more effectively than words ever could. The ever-increasing success of picture based internet sites like Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook reflect of how visual humans are; we love to see things in different ways. It triggers something primal in us allowing us to memorialize and reflect, even if the image is of something foreign. I am an amateur photographer with professional aspirations. I hope to harness the creative power of photographs to tell a story that immerses the viewer into the time and place it was taken. A picture can indeed be worth a thousand words; I'm hoping World Nomads can help me choose the right ones through this experience. https://journals.worldnomads.com/ellioteliash/photos/50957/Nepal/My-Scholarship-entry-Mother-Nature-Giving-and-Taking-in-Rural-Nepal Travel Nepal ellioteliash https://journals.worldnomads.com/ellioteliash/photos/50957/Nepal/My-Scholarship-entry-Mother-Nature-Giving-and-Taking-in-Rural-Nepal#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/ellioteliash/photos/50957/Nepal/My-Scholarship-entry-Mother-Nature-Giving-and-Taking-in-Rural-Nepal Tue, 18 Nov 2014 07:51:00 GMT 0
