My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Australia | Saturday, December 8, 2012 | flickr photos

I'm a highly passionate 2nd year journalism student with the dream to travel and shoot the many faces of the world.

I believe I should be chosen for my drive for journalism and my want to take the skills I have further, to ultimately build a career.

I know it will take a lot of hours, a lot of hard work and even more rejection but I will work tirelessly until I get there.

For me, photojournalism is not just about portraying the world to itself through photographs but also the experience behind being there and capturing the moment.

I recently came across this set of images from Syria: (http://ir-ingr.livejournal.com/1185799.html) and I found it not only confronting and emotive but highly motivational.

I think the value obtained through the work of photojournalists far exceeds the amount made from the selling of magazines and newspapers. It's human interest in the extreme and I believe there will always be a place for it.

I would be very honored and forever grateful to be selected for what would be to me, the best possible start to what I want to do for the rest of my life.
