I have always had a love of photography but have had to put it on the back burner until last year when I lost the vision in one eye, I then decided that I needed to bite the bullet and make the most of what I have, makes you realise that you never know what can happen so you need to seize the moment. I went out and brought an entry level DSLR and have never looked back. I don't have time to take classes so I just read as much as I can and learn by the good old trial and error method Photography to me is about seizing the moment, capturing the essence and emotion of what I see and preserving it for the rest of time. Winning this competition would hopefully be a stepping stone to a career in travel and food photography, it would be amazing to be able to blend my 3 loves together. It would be a privilege to be mentored by Jason, not only with the actual photography but also the post processing, I have never used any advanced editing software so I am very keen to learn. I would also like to say thank you to National Geographic and World Nomads for offering this amazing opportunity to aspiring photographers. https://journals.worldnomads.com/gaz_norris/photos/38752/Germany/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Germany gaz_norris https://journals.worldnomads.com/gaz_norris/photos/38752/Germany/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/gaz_norris/photos/38752/Germany/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Sun, 13 Jan 2013 22:43:15 GMT 0
