My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Malaysia | Tuesday, June 25, 2013 | flickr photos

An avid traveler and amateur photographer. And in a lucky position to be able to do both. After investing in a SLR five years ago, trying to further my photographic techniques. I decided to try and capture the cultures and people, of the places I visit. Influenced by the works of Sebastiao Salgado. I chose to leave my full time job and explore the world around me. Working as a freelance carpenter, and with a few sacrifices. I have managed to start living out my dream of travelling the world and seeing the wonder that it provides. With hard work and dedication - not forgetting the love of what I do. I have managed to get to the jungles of the Amazon, the Andes mountains and the rain forests of Borneo - just to name a few. I have recently decided to dedicate my life to this cause ( all self funded ), and try and follow the footsteps of my idol Sebastiao Salgado.
A hard working, laid back and happy person, who enjoys life and adventure. This would be a wonderful experience for me and a valuable learning opportunity on how to link the two together, and tell a story - and hopefully get a step closer on the ladder to being a travel photographer. My journey continues...
