A 'place' I have visited

Bolivia | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

My curiosity about photography started young, so combined with my other great loves of wildlife & adventure, there was never any question in my mind that Africa would be my first big overseas trip. This is when I remember my first real desire to understand photography developed, driven by the frustration I felt from not knowing how to create accurate representations of what I was seeing through my eyes. Since then, my photography has improved, however I have never had any formal training, & so consequently lack the technical expertise & confidence to make a living out of what I believe SHOULD be my living. Why? I'm not cut out for routine & a 'normal' life. I want & have more to offer than that. My intrepid nature, incessant thirst for travel, love of wildlife & remoteness, & wish to bring this all together by creating beautiful images to share with others are, I believe, pretty suitable attributes for this scholarship. I want to learn, & I’ll take anything thrown at me (cold, rain, bumpy roads, no sleep, aching muscles) just to get the right shot & to experience & share the privilege of visiting those remote & wild destinations only seen by most on their television screen.
