My Scholarship entry - Seeing the world through other eyes

WORLDWIDE | Sunday, 22 April 2012 | Views [114] | Scholarship Entry

As once was said by st. Augustine, the world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. The main aim of my life is a to get the best I can get from this world: to feel more, to see more, to remember more afterwards. Memory and memories is an amazing gift given to us. It is helping to believe that time is not running so fast and sometimes I can control it. I can control it by returning all my best moment; all pleasant things and I can enjoy them again and again. We are not taking care about simple things, we are not so careful and attentive to nearby surrounding and we easily can call ourselves- slaves. We are slaves of time, condition and unfortunately this list has no end. Only traveling can open this borders.
After I moved for one year to Vienna from Kyiv, I felt, as I never lived before. This world became so small and undiscovered for me, my aims were so insignificant and time was just wasted. I wish I had an opportunity to travel earlier. All my life I was excited about changing, moving, new people and new experience and I had never thought that one day all this could change my life totally. I became a “travel-addicted” person. I opened my eyes and a new universe has opened its door to me. My traveling started for me as I was a student, foreigner and I was a traveller. Now I feel myself as a cosmopolite, open-minded and newborn person. During my study in Austria, I’ve been to more than 15 countries, I met so much amazing people and I feel like a have a second breath and I need to share with all of this with others, as I want them to convince doing this with me.
My best companion is my camera; through this “other eyes” I can open a new world. Every moment, which can stay forever, make me happy to remember it. Photography it’s a life, an emotion, the whole story with it’s own plot and with thousand details. The best can describe phrase by Gary Isaacs, that “photo is a memory of our own memory:)”.
