Namaste Kathmandu https://journals.worldnomads.com/jodiest/ Tue, 7 Apr 2026 22:17:20 GMT World Nomads Adventures The moment I started travelling I was seduced by the incredible images that I was surrounded by, with my greatest joy coming from trying to capture an image that evokes the feeling of the places I have visited and takes me back once I have left. <br/> <br/>My first travel photos were taken with a Pentax point & shoot film camera. When I look back at those images now my only regret is that I didn't take more shots, but what can you do shooting film on a backpacker budget.<br/><br/>Over the years my photography has improved and when I'm travelling each day's purpose to to try to get that one really amazing shot, often to the point of obsession.<br/>I love to capture the diversity of the people and landscapes of the planet. In celebrating and embracing the differences we can only hope to inspire more tolerance. By bringing back a part of the world with me in my photos and sharing the stories I can only hope to help achieve this in some small way.<br/><br/>Like most in this competition, my dream job is to be a travel photographer, and this scholarship would be an amazing step in that direction. I have so much to learn and what a way to get things started I can't wait to get to Oman and start shooting.<br/> <br/> https://journals.worldnomads.com/jodiest/photos/38487/Nepal/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Nepal jodiest https://journals.worldnomads.com/jodiest/photos/38487/Nepal/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/jodiest/photos/38487/Nepal/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:51:07 GMT 0
