My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

India | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 4 photos

Its been a dream of mine since I was a child, to experience the world as it was 100 years ago. I always felt that I was born into the wrong era, and am constantly looking for ways to immerse myself in environments that still have a grasp on that little piece of magic that is the simplicity of how life used to be. I have a passion for nature, wildlife, and experiencing different cultures, and for me, that experience culminates with the click of a shutter - that ability to freeze a moment that has the power to move people.
While growing up in South Africa I developed what bordered on an obsession for seeing the world through the lens of a camera, and I've been privileged enough to have travel and continue that experience into my adult life.
This photo set was taken on the banks of a village in the Sundarbans, West Bengal, India. A place where life still holds on to that simplicity that has been forgotten in many other parts of the world and is framed by the vibrant colours and culture that is West Bengal.
