My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Laos | Wednesday, July 3, 2013 | 4 photos

Hi! I'm Brooke from a small town on the west coast of Australia and I describe myself as one who wears many hats as I've worked in many positions from retail to construction and all to support my travel bug. I love the outdoors, I've spent three and a half years out of the past 5 years travelling North, South, Central America, and Asia and have discovered some truly magical places and witnessed amazing moments. I studied photography in school where I immersed myself in film photography and seeing the pictures develop in the chemical trays was like a kid at Christmas.
When this scholarship opened up, I felt it was the right time for me to apply. There's so much for me to learn and gain from this and I know that this may be the case for all entrants, but I would grab hold of this experience with all that I have. I love challenges and get such a kick out of achieving my goals, that working with such an organisation and an incredible photographer at that, is just the education I need.
Being able to capture and preserve a moment in time is what I love best about photography and believe that with this opportunity I can truly portray the feelings in images in the way they deserve.
