My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Australia | Thursday, January 10, 2013 | 5 photos

I am a twenty year old music and film student from Sydney, and have been getting more and more interested in photography over the past two years. Travel has always been an important part of my life, exploring various parts of South-East Asia when I was younger, and it is a passion I share with my family. I feel like every trip I take changes my perspective on a variety of aspects of life, and travelling to East Africa in early 2012 was one of the most rewarding and confronting experiences I have ever had. The most exciting aspects of travel for me are meeting new people, and getting to know their cultural practices, how they are different to what I am used to, and, in some cases, how we are all very similar in the simple things we want to get out of life. I love immersing myself in the places I visit, eating their food, listening to their music, and, hopefully, capturing as much as possible through the lens of my camera.
