Monks : Celebrating life in its own way

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

India | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

I guess travelling and I go hand in hand. Being a TV journalist, I have covered many devastating and challenging events which were an eye opener for me to realize the tough reality of the life. Whenever I went for coverage I captured moments. Some good- some not so good and in the process, the camera became my friend.
And from there, casual photography turned into a serious passion. From the time I remember, I have always wanted to explore different cultures and traditions.

I can’t say I have travelled a lot but by living in India which has a mesmerizing blend of different culture and life.I have travelled a few places. One such experience was when I went to Ladakh. A region in Jammu and Kashmir in India, it is god’s own place. Great Himalaya’s to its south, it’s a place worth capturing in lenses.

I am not a trained photographer but certainly have a passion for it. I truly believe assisting renowned photographer Jason Edward will be a life time opportunity for me to full fill my dream of becoming a trained photographer. This scholarship will help me in giving me the right direction and the skills required.
