Porto Bridge Jumpers https://journals.worldnomads.com/joseferreira/ Mon, 6 Apr 2026 06:46:20 GMT World Nomads Adventures My name is José Ferreira, I am 30 years old and I've devoted my adult life to telling stories. When I was little I wanted to be a teacher, to make a difference by providing education and an example to children. Since then I found out that what I wanted was best achieved by means of pictures and reporting. When done correctly this shows what is the world around us and what is our place - and also how and what can change for everyone. This is why I went to college to become a reporter, even though reporting is starting to be the last thing newspapers do in my country. I come from Porto, Portugal, a place where life is not hard, but has become harder for a series of persons affected by the crisis. In my pictures I try to reach these persons, show how their life is on a daily basis. I do not strip them of their value as a human. I think I should be chosen for this travel photography scholarship because this is the chance I've been preparing for all my life: the chance to travel, see the world, tell a story. I think my degree in journalism, my knowledge of arabic culture and language and my ability to take pictures that are solid both technically and content wise would be a great plus. https://journals.worldnomads.com/joseferreira/photos/36716/Portugal/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Portugal joseferreira https://journals.worldnomads.com/joseferreira/photos/36716/Portugal/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/joseferreira/photos/36716/Portugal/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 31 Dec 2012 00:33:46 GMT 0
