Unusual Take On Things https://journals.worldnomads.com/enplim/ Wed, 15 Apr 2026 20:59:49 GMT World Nomads Adventures Working in the field of Instrumentation and Control, I have been sent to several places across the globe to test instruments other equipment for power plants. During the construction period, where everything was still a mess, we had to crawl through tight and dirty spaces in order to get the job done. Seeing the instruments running well, after a hard day´s work, is surely fulfilling, but it does not even come close to the I´ve-nailed-it feeling I get after making a satisfying photograph even if I had to lie down on the dirt to get the shot. These shots do not arrive in droves, however. My success rate is quite low but with them I hope to ignite something within the hearts of my viewers and send them somewhere, making photographs themselves, or doing something that they have written in their long-forgotten bucket lists. I am usually drawn to the non-conventional ¨take¨ on things, as mirrored by my interest in Linux, unicycling, the strange v-for-victory grip in table tennis, and the non-cliché things that I photograph. https://journals.worldnomads.com/enplim/photos/51990/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-Magical-Human-Animal-Connections Travel Japan enplim https://journals.worldnomads.com/enplim/photos/51990/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-Magical-Human-Animal-Connections#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/enplim/photos/51990/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-Magical-Human-Animal-Connections Mon, 24 Nov 2014 09:05:00 GMT 0 Many years ago in high school, while I made tiny contributions to our school paper by writing columns in the sports page, I secretly envied the cartoonists and photojournalists in the team. I have always felt that their images were more powerful than my tiny articles no matter how I struggle to cram the 5 W´s and 1 H into my lead. I became even more interested when I saw an impromptu photography seminar for them. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera and for being too slow in raising my hand, I didn't win the toy camera that the speaker gave as a prize in one of his games. I may have pursued a different career but my dream to be able to tell powerful stories by having powerful images never left me. Stories that inspire, have relevance, or at least stir the emotions. I was thrilled when I learned about this scholarship. Although I can appreciate optics, Jason´s mentoring would really help me see the light. I am willing to roll in the mud just to get the image right. https://journals.worldnomads.com/enplim/photos/43307/Philippines/A-place-I-have-visited Travel Philippines enplim https://journals.worldnomads.com/enplim/photos/43307/Philippines/A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/enplim/photos/43307/Philippines/A-place-I-have-visited Fri, 5 Jul 2013 04:59:06 GMT 0
