My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Indonesia | Thursday, January 10, 2013 | 5 photos

A picture says a thousand words. The world has shown me some wondrous places and people and wildlife, and taking photos has given me a means to share those moments and experiences with friends and family. Whatever challenges may be required, the adrenaline rush from being in the right place at the right time and seeing everything come together through the viewfinder is second to none. For me taking photos allows me to forget about time and enjoy the natural beauty of life in that frozen moment.
A recent Zoology graduate, my aim in life is conservation. I hope, one day, to be able to use my passion for photography to educate and engage and inspire awareness for animals, people and places, and create a unique appreciation and celebration of our planet Earth, and show how vital our place in it is. I want to capture images that become iconic symbols for a world that is quickly disappearing.
There is so much to learn about photography, and I feel I have barely scratched the surface. The chance to go on assignment with such a renowned travel photographer would be such an incredible learning opportunity as well as an amazing adventure – an honour and an unforgettable experience.
