oh, the places you'll go

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Canada | Saturday, January 12, 2013 | 5 photos

These lives of ours are stories, and I am determined to write mine with all of the bravery I can muster. While I may not have the means or the money to travel the seven seas, I have the heart to. Helen Keller has said it best, "life is either a daring adventure, or nothing". I believe that we can make every day, every moment, an adventure if we choose to.
My heart is daring, my mind is open, and my hands are constantly holding a camera. I take photos to document the story of my life, but also the story of this world. The story of its beauty and its destruction. I capture nature to conserve it, because with the camera, it’s the only way I seem to be limitless in expressing a need for change.
I'm currently at the University of Toronto studying two of my greatest passions - visual arts, and the environment. If I was able to be a photographer for National Geographic, I would call that a well written story for myself.
