My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Botswana | Sunday, January 13, 2013 | 5 photos

I work for the Department of Information Services, as a information officer in Botswana. My love for photography started when I was studying fine art at Durban University of Technology in South Africa. I covered photography as a module in my studies. From then onwards a started taking pictures for fun. I would then show them to my friends who told me that i have talent and i should pursue a career in photography. I love photography because i can express myself and tell stories through pictures. My passion for pictures is motivated by my love for nature and capturing a moment. I could not achieve this dream because i had no money to go for further studies. The reason i feel i should be awarded the scholarship is because i strongly believe the scholarship will not benefit me alone but will benefit my country as a whole. Botswana is one of Africa's most exclusive tourism destination. The economy of the country depend mainly on diamonds, the government is trying to diversify the economy through tourism. Given this opportunity i will help my country market it tourism industry by taking pictures of it's natural spectacles. My vision is to set up a Photography Academy and Photo agency.
