My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Macedonia | Friday, July 5, 2013 | flickr photos

My name in Marija. I am from a small country on the Balkan Peninsular – Macedonia. Photography is my passion and at the moment it’s my stress reliever. I believe the reason why I like photography is that I have never been good with words, and taking pictures gives me an opportunity to show how I see the world around me. I am fascinated by the illogicalities and the contradictions that surround us and I try to capture them. Furthermore, I enjoy taking pictures of people in action, when they display their emotions. I hope in the future, photography will be a bigger part of my life, not just a diversion. Wining this scholarship will give me an opportunity to extend my knowledge about photography. But, more importantly, the possibility of being a part of a genuine expedition will provide an insight in the reality of being a photographer.
