Kites in the sky, pebbles under the shoes

My Scholarship entry - Streets of Kawangware

Kenya | Wednesday, October 22, 2014 | 4 photos

When people travel to Kenya the photos used to be about lions, zebras or flamingos. That's good, but I want also to photograph the streets of it's sordid capital city, Nairobi.
About why I want to get the scholarship:
Like many child's, when I dreamed what I want to be when grown up was to be a explorer, and the place that hypnotised my mind was the rainforest. When very little, I read a book that finally forced me to fall in love with the Amazon.
“Those who think of the Amazon as a Green Hell bring only their own fears and prejudices to this amazing land. For whether a place is a hell or a heaven rests in yourself, and those who go with courage and an open mind may find themselves in Paradise”. So, I want to find my Paradise and bring it to me with my camera.
I'm hardworker, not afraid of animals or special efforts, and I'm willing to everything to make that dream come true.
Also, there is some less romantic and more practical reason, I speak perfectly Spanish, so I could talk with the people and know them, at least in the first step, Cusco.
