Photography and the Amazon

My Scholarship entry - 8 days in the forest of St. Croix

US Virgin Islands | Monday, November 3, 2014 | 5 photos

I am in my Junior year as a photography student at Minnesota State University Mankato. I have a passion for travel and nature photography, and have photographed in Europe, Asia, Canada, the Virgin Islands, and the United States. I also am a primitive skills instructor so I teach my students how to live using the primitive skills of native people. I have always loved seeing the photographs of the Amazon in National Geographic magazine, and the Amazon has been at the top of my list of places I want to go for a long time, I just haven't had the funds to get there. This trip, and the resulting photography would be a great thing to add to my resume, and help me get more opportunities for jobs where I would be able to go on similar trips and to do more of this type of photography.
