My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited https://journals.worldnomads.com/global_local/ Mon, 20 Apr 2026 03:50:31 GMT World Nomads Adventures Photography is a powerful medium. It has the ability to connect a memory to a place or time, to create a sense of curiosity and wonder, to teach the intricacies of a culture, to educate about issues and problems in the world. I find it fascinating that a photograph can capture a moment, an event, an experience, that will never occur in that exactly same way again. I am Australian living in Amsterdam, and so far in life I have predominately saved my money to photograph the world. It has always been a hobby, which I dream about taking to a new level. However, to date, I have lacked the confidence and guidance to do so. Over the years I have discovered I love landscape and wildlife photography, and more recently, portraits. This opportunity to assist and learn from a National Geographic photographer does not come often. To watch how he works, hear his ideas, see his perspective is something I would welcome with open arms. Though I know there is some amazing wildlife and landscapes in Oman, it has not been high my countries I’d like to visit. I see huge potential here for myself as a photographer, both to create a sense of wonder of the country, and also to capture the issues and challenges faced there and perhaps inspire some sort of sustainable change. https://journals.worldnomads.com/global_local/photos/38964/Cuba/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Cuba global_local https://journals.worldnomads.com/global_local/photos/38964/Cuba/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/global_local/photos/38964/Cuba/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 14 Jan 2013 03:27:00 GMT 0
