A Holy Place

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Sri Lanka | Sunday, January 13, 2013 | 5 photos

It is every photographers dream to take photos for the National Geographic but this scholarship to Oman is especially important to me because Oman has a very special place in my heart. I spent my childhood holidays in Oman as my father worked there for many years. I understand its people and its culture and would like nothing more than to apply my love of photography to a place that I have loved for so long.

I have just completed a 4 year Advanced Diploma in Photography and I am really looking forward to doing something I love. I have a strong sprit of adventure and love people and travel and wish to combine these elements in my own photography.

I hope that this opportunity will enhance my travel photography skills so that I can take images that will evoke a longing for travel and an understanding of other people and cultures. I want my images to create an appreciation for the world around us and instil a desire to preserve the wonders of nature.

I think that photography is a life long learning process and I am very excited about this opportunity to learn from Jason so that I can become a better photographer and share my love of photography, people and places with the world.
