Travel Photography Scholarship Entries https://journals.worldnomads.com/hungontheworld/ Wed, 15 Apr 2026 19:22:36 GMT World Nomads Adventures My love for photography began 11 years ago when I learned to shoot and develop b/w film. Sadly, I didn’t pursue photography as a major/profession because I was afraid of not being able to make a living. It wasn’t until Oct 2011, when a 3 weeks visit to Europe reawakened my dormant dream of becoming a travel photographer. Through using various creative means to fund my trip entirely, I realized my dream is possible. April 2012, I resigned from my FT job and took off on a 3 months road/camping trip to 8 National Parks followed by a 5 months trip to SE Asia. I fell in love with photography all over again as it helped me to discover, capture, and share the beauty of the world in which we live. Through the viewfinder, I am able to see the world differently and help others do the same through my images. I have no formal training other than a few classes I took years ago in college so the opportunity to be mentored by Jason Edwards would be an invaluable hands-on learning experience and a chance to be published in Nat Geo would be an amazing honor. Just as I hope to change people for the better through photography, I am ready to be changed myself in order to become a better photographer. https://journals.worldnomads.com/hungontheworld/photos/41080/Vietnam/Greenland-Travel-Photography-Scholarship-entry-Children-of-Sapa Travel Vietnam hungontheworld https://journals.worldnomads.com/hungontheworld/photos/41080/Vietnam/Greenland-Travel-Photography-Scholarship-entry-Children-of-Sapa#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/hungontheworld/photos/41080/Vietnam/Greenland-Travel-Photography-Scholarship-entry-Children-of-Sapa Fri, 31 May 2013 09:54:00 GMT 0 My love for photography began when I took my first class 10 years ago and learned to shoot and develop b/w film. Seeing the submerged prints magically come to life was a process I’ll always remember. However, it wasn’t until April 2012 that my latent passion for travel and photography finally gave me the courage to do what I should have done years ago. I resigned from my job as a career consultant in order to pursue my dream of becoming a travel photographer. Whether I am taking pictures with my point & shoot, Iphone, and/or entry-level dslr I recently purchased a year ago, photography helps me to discover, capture, and share the beauty of the world in which we live. Photography is an universal language that speaks to all and can be understood by many. Through the viewfinder, I am able to see the world differently and help others do the same through my images. A chance to be published in National Geographic would be an amazing honor and the opportunity to be mentored by Jason Edwards would be an invaluable hands-on learning experience. Just as I seek to change people for the better through photography, I am ready to be changed myself so that I can become a better photographer. https://journals.worldnomads.com/hungontheworld/photos/37967/Vietnam/Oman-Travel-Photography-Scholarship-entry-Sapa-Vietnam Travel Vietnam hungontheworld https://journals.worldnomads.com/hungontheworld/photos/37967/Vietnam/Oman-Travel-Photography-Scholarship-entry-Sapa-Vietnam#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/hungontheworld/photos/37967/Vietnam/Oman-Travel-Photography-Scholarship-entry-Sapa-Vietnam Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:48:00 GMT 0
