Watching The Wheels https://journals.worldnomads.com/fahad_farook/ Wed, 15 Apr 2026 19:22:32 GMT World Nomads Adventures I never planned on taking up photography: words like aperture, ISO & bokeh as well as SLR cameras intimidated me. But one day during my day job as a corporate trainer, a friend coaxed me into trying it out. There I was shooting on full manual mode and five minutes later I was smitten. I find the world from behind the lens amazing. I can capture a fleeting moment, look at it from a completely different angle, capture light and shadows. My collection ‘Watching the Wheels’ is just that. It records a moment in the life of a street vendor as he waits for his next sale. The vendor watches hundreds of wheels going by, every one of them a potential customer. The scholarship combines three things I love doing; travel, photography and the opportunity to learn. I have no formal training and the chance to be mentored by Jason would be unbelievable. While learning stuff from friends or the internet is great, receiving instruction from a professional and interacting with a team from Nat Geo would be a dream come true. https://journals.worldnomads.com/fahad_farook/photos/38613/Sri-Lanka/My-Scholarship-entry-Watching-the-Wheels Travel Sri Lanka fahad_farook https://journals.worldnomads.com/fahad_farook/photos/38613/Sri-Lanka/My-Scholarship-entry-Watching-the-Wheels#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/fahad_farook/photos/38613/Sri-Lanka/My-Scholarship-entry-Watching-the-Wheels Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:00:00 GMT 0
