The Sterling a building's story of success and hard times

My Scholarship entry - The Sterling

USA | Thursday, June 27, 2013 | 5 photos

I was born into a family that craves adventure so I started traveling at a young age. I love experiencing different cultures and trying new things. I like to challenge myself. I believe if you can do one thing every day that pushes you out of your comfort zone, you will continue to grow as a person. I started taking pictures when I was 12 years old and I haven’t put my camera down since. Never again will I be able to look at something incredible without picturing it through a camera lens or wondering how it would look photographed. My passion keeps me going above and beyond to get the best shot whether that means waking up at the crack of dawn to capture a sunrise or entering a dark dilapidated building to preserve its memory. Being a photographer has taken me on many adventures. It is amazing what a photographer will do for one good image. When you have passion and something that drives you anything is possible. No matter where you are and what you are doing, you can always find something to photograph. Photographers capture history and suspend moments in time. If you do your job well enough…that story, that history, that lesson, lives on.
