From Appalachia to Andalucía https://journals.worldnomads.com/josiehogg/ Sun, 19 Apr 2026 04:54:09 GMT World Nomads Adventures This world is beautiful. I can see that in the mountains of my home and in the places I've traveled. Photography is my means of sharing how I see the world and it is my expression of truth and beauty. I feel a duty towards representing the things I see in the way that they are, not the way that they should be. Beauty isn’t just the “good;” beauty can be dirty, joyful, heartbreaking, and, most importantly, true. 
"What do you want to do?" is a terrifying question for a senior in college. Even scarier is realizing that what I want to do is travel and share the world through photography, knowing there is no clear path that would allow me to do that. I see this scholarship as the impetus to finding that clear path.
The only barrier keeping me from becoming a better photographer is lack of mentorship. In my life, opportunities with experiential education have been the most meaningful and long-lasting sources of learning. To find a truly effective mentor is crucial, which is why I cannot let this juncture pass. 
As a student of life I hope to never stop learning and to take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself. Allow me this opportunity and it will not be wasted. https://journals.worldnomads.com/josiehogg/photos/38360/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Spain josiehogg https://journals.worldnomads.com/josiehogg/photos/38360/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/josiehogg/photos/38360/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Thu, 13 Dec 2012 05:06:00 GMT 0
