Travel Photography Scholarship 2012 Application https://journals.worldnomads.com/ireed186/ Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:58:42 GMT World Nomads Adventures As a Kentucky native, I grew up in a rather small corner of the world. During university I was lucky enough to be able to take part in several study abroad programs, which forever changed my life. I realized that every day there were people in this world who were living extraordinary lives that they view as mundane or ordinary. I am fortunate to have traveled to Japan with my wife to teach English and live in such a place. My love of photography grew as an extension of my travels. To me, the best souvenir to bring back home to loved ones is a piece of the journey I took-to share the experience through pictures. It does not stop there, however. I want to give people the thirst for more, to inspire them to embark on their own. I want my pictures to move the viewer to act and think, then travel. This is why I want this scholarship. Growing up I knew that I wanted to travel because of the pictures in National Geographic and publications like it. I want to inspire others to explore the world. I love photography; it is my passion. Through photography I can share my other passion, travel. I want to learn how to do that better from those who are masters at inspiring future explorers. https://journals.worldnomads.com/ireed186/photos/36238/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-The-Drunken-Horse-Festival-or-Dokai-Matsuri-in-Kumamoto-Japan Travel Japan ireed186 https://journals.worldnomads.com/ireed186/photos/36238/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-The-Drunken-Horse-Festival-or-Dokai-Matsuri-in-Kumamoto-Japan#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/ireed186/photos/36238/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-The-Drunken-Horse-Festival-or-Dokai-Matsuri-in-Kumamoto-Japan Thu, 13 Dec 2012 02:43:00 GMT 0
