My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Canada | Sunday, January 13, 2013 | 5 photos

A student of life, I aim to understand the world by exploring cultural differences and similarities through the lens. Most appealing about the WorldNomad apprenticeship with an accomplished photographer, is the opportunity to observe and assist Jason on location. Experiencing and shooting key venues across the Sultanate of Oman are exciting prospects. Complete immersion into the natural environment and culture of the Arabian peninsula promise to satisfy my personal curiosity about the country and lifestyle of its people. My professional experience and past research into world crafts will further broaden my horizons while exploring desert oasis and souk alike.
Photography has been a passion since youth. Interest heightened with the purchase of a digital model in 2000. My camera rarely leaves my side: from landscape to portrait to macro I observe the world through the viewfinder striving to evoke emotion by capturing light, texture and line. In-depth local university photography courses renewed my enthusiasm and personal commitment to pursue photography in earnest. I am presently enrolled in the MatadorU photography and writing courses in pursuit of travel journalism opportunities.
