My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Romania | Sunday, January 13, 2013 | 5 photos

My name is Bogdan Petrovan and I am a highschool student in the city of Baia Mare, Romania.
I strongly believe that being different and trying to set yourself apart form the crowd , while also setting your goals as high as you can perfectly describes the way I've been living my life up to this moment and it is also something I plan not to lose in the years to come. It is this way I feel about photography, which, even though I started to practice at the age of 10, I've never seen it as something that I could pursue later in life until earlier this year when I was chosen to take part in a photography course called "Scoala9" held by some of the best photographers in this country. This experience had a tremendous impact on the way I take pictures and also how I value them. It is also during this last year that i learned that I you really do have to see the light and the world around you no matter what equipment you have available.
When I was told about this scholarship I immediately realised that this, once in a lifetime opportunity, could really help me develop my skills, while also giving me a head start in this so competitive world.
