Journey through Indonesia

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Indonesia | Sunday, December 30, 2012 | 5 photos

I'm passionate about both photography & travel & want to combine them both in a way that means something to other people & not just me. The world & all of the environmental issues that surround it are ringing alarm bells with alot of people, & ultimately it is everybody who needs to realise their effect on this beautiful planet. I think if somebody picks up a magazine & sees just one picture which might make them stop & re-assess their lifestlye & impact upon the environment, & then make choices which make a difference, then that photographer has achieved something great. I want to be that person, who grabs the attention & changes the mindset of somebody who was previously indifferent to the damage being done to our planet. Change has to happen, person by person. If I can learn some great ways to improve my photography skills & share my vision for the future, then this is why I want to be chosen. I love the natural world, but also have hope that nature & an exploding population can live together in a stable environment, we just have to convince the masses that it is worth saving, & nothing showcases this more than a beautiful picture.
