My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Singapore | Sunday, January 6, 2013 | 5 photos

My name is Agnes Koresy from Indonesia. Back in 1994, when I was in 1st grade on my elementary school, my grandfather bought me a camera film as my birthday present. He taught me how to take picture with it. He told me photography is not about simply taking picture but it’s about capturing and sharing the moment with other people. I was so thankful, I have a grandfather who introduced me to the world of photography and helped me find my passion in life.

After since, I decided I want to become a photographer someday, but my parents didn't agree. They told me that I can pursue my passion become a photographer using my own money, therefore I am working abroad fighting for my dream as an architect . It’s been 8 months I live independent here.

A month ago, I accidentally found this travel photography scholarship on the internet. So I thought this is my change to be mentored by a very famous photographer, Jason Edwards. This is my change to become a photographer, my passion since I was a little girl. I want to share every moment that I see in my life by capturing it on a photo and make a story.
