My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Argentina | Friday, January 11, 2013 | flickr photos

I am an engineer from Kazakhstan currently living and working in Australia.
My interest in the photography arose from my dad when i was little. He had an old Zenith camera and a darkroom where he would develop his pictures. It was a magic room where he would change a white sheet of paper into the beautiful black and white photo.
Photography helps me to relax, allows me to find places and scenarios where I can be creative. My photos help me to express myself and share my experiences, amazing locations I have visited with my family and friends. A lot of them now strive to travel and see new places for themselves. I want to deliver a message through photos that we need to protect such amazing places and look after our earth while we can!
Through the camera lens a completely new world opens up to me. It is almost provides you with a third eye which lets you see things that you would not notice with your naked eye.
This opportunity will help me to deliver clear messages and produce photos which portray the scenario.I am hoping to develop my skills, learn new techniques and gain the capability to capture more powerful images.My ambition is to develop my passion into my life and work.
