My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Philippines | Friday, January 4, 2013 | 4 photos

My name is Lyber Bagni, a filipina from the Northern Luzon of the Philippines. Ever since I am a kid, I'm fascinated with how a moment is kept preserved in a picture. How a picture tells stories even without letters or voice but every line and curves, colors and emotion embed on that four corners of that printed paper can make us be part of that time, that very moment. I believe that every individual don't see things the same, somehow one's perceptions to things seen makes that difference. But because of photography I don't only capture and immortalize things that catches my attention, events or occurrences that touched my heart but I also have that opportunity to share it and make it known to the world how I see things, I can also somehow convey something that can positively affect the lives/situation of the subject or to the onlookers. To cause a drive to change either to the onlookers or the subjects' situation or community. A chance to better develop my ability in photography through great people is an opportunity I dream to experience. These things are my reason to have joined the contest.
