Travel Photography Scholarship 2012 https://journals.worldnomads.com/gladleynet/ Wed, 8 Apr 2026 08:20:00 GMT World Nomads Adventures I am a Brit living in the USA, enjoying daily stumbling blocks of learning a new way of life. Why should be chosen? Because I am not a great photographer. I know that. I am not a great photographer… yet. I bought my DSLR second hand from a photographer friend about 18 months ago. I've played with it almost every day. At first it was a hobby I embarked on alone while I waited for my Green Card to the USA - my first foray into 'real photography'. I'm entirely self-taught. I try to take everything in manual now: Snapshots, landscapes, close-ups. Everything. I need to improve my skills, but also to learn to get 'in there' and capture it all. Raw photos, raw emotion. I traveled all over Europe with disposable cameras, point and shoots, cell phones. I loved snapping unusual things that probably seem usual to others. What I love about traveling is the naive, dumbstruck feeling of being in a strange new world. It's like being a three year old all over again: You don't understand the language, the customs, the social norms. Things that are everyday to locals are new and fascinating to me. I study journalism - telling peoples' stories in words. But I have never been to Asia, and never been abroad with my old DSLR. I would relish the opportunity, truly, to stretch my new skills, to test my talent. To take those next steps, literally and figuratively. To tell people's stories in pictures. https://journals.worldnomads.com/gladleynet/photos/38474/United-Kingdom/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited-Lewis-and-Harris-Scotland Travel United Kingdom gladleynet https://journals.worldnomads.com/gladleynet/photos/38474/United-Kingdom/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited-Lewis-and-Harris-Scotland#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/gladleynet/photos/38474/United-Kingdom/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited-Lewis-and-Harris-Scotland Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:15:00 GMT 0
