My Scholarship Entry 2013 (2) and 2014

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Samoa | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 5 photos

Photography, a passion, fueled by my father, who provided my “Box Brownie” when 7. My enthusiasm and commitment was rewarded by my 21st birthday present, an OM2n, used over many years (I still have it), while now getting to get to grips with the digital “add on’s” to the original theory.

An engineer to date, I now divide my time to include developing photography to go beyond a hobby.

I have always be one to put my hand up for new challenges, including many overseas assignments. I am very able to adapt quickly to new challenges and environments. Hence, I believe I have the aptitude to take on this learning experience.

My interest in photography is broad, but in particular events, animals, places and people in the real world excite the most, so fits well with the Greenland Brief.

I hope the experience will encourage me to look at subjects, and how to photograph the story in new ways, particularly the places and people aspects, such that I can learn how I may contribute back to the community, in an informative pictorial manner, providing records / accounts of thought provoking occurrences, places, situations and events that would be presentable in the media to inform and stir.
