I would get lost in the world of images as I was taken away to somewhere distant, strange, beautiful. I saved up for my first camera in college, where I was studying the mind and its relationship with language and how it distorts and recreates the outside (actual) world, in much the same way a photograph does. I spent most of my early twenties trying to "beat the system," e.g living in artist squats, co-ops, spreading public art through performance and dissonance, attempting to change the world, until I changed myself. What I love about a photo is that it can immortalize a fraction of a second -a simple moment of pure emotion and communicate it. I'm applying for the unique opportunity to work and learn from a real professional. I want to know what Jason does outside the frame and I want to learn how to do that to improve my photography. Winning this scholarship would challenge me to take the next step, to demonstrate that I have the talent and work ethic to be a true professional photographer and capable of executing any assignment. https://journals.worldnomads.com/loosecaboose/photos/43293/Worldwide/Shooting-People-WN-2013-NatGeoScholarship-Jason-Edwards Travel Worldwide loosecaboose https://journals.worldnomads.com/loosecaboose/photos/43293/Worldwide/Shooting-People-WN-2013-NatGeoScholarship-Jason-Edwards#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/loosecaboose/photos/43293/Worldwide/Shooting-People-WN-2013-NatGeoScholarship-Jason-Edwards Fri, 5 Jul 2013 04:38:00 GMT 0
