My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Canada | Friday, January 11, 2013 | 4 photos

How do you save the world? Is it tree by tree; animal by animal?

For me, it will be photograph by photograph.

People tell me that my photos inspire them to get out in nature & appreciate the world around them. Through winning this scholarship I would learn to take more powerful images which capture the beauty of this precious planet, in turn inspiring greater numbers to appreciate, & protect, what we have left.

I know whatever challenges & adventures Jason & the team throw at me that I will be ready to meet them head on with even greater enthusiasm. In 2010 after a cancer scare & a 6 year relationship ended within 2 weeks, I jumped on my motorcycle to live my dream of travelling around Australia. I left my job of 4 years managing a busy health clinic & completely turned my life upside down as I immersed myself in over 30,000 km of incredible personal journeys & experiences.

My focus in life changed dramatically & my priority now is to contribute, through my lens & the photos I take, to serving the planet. I believe I deserve this chance to listen to & learn from Jason to sharpen my focus & achieve my destiny to help preserve the natural world.
