Earth's beginnings & ends

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Australia | Wednesday, January 9, 2013 | 4 photos

Hello my name is Erik I am 32 & live in America I am a retired motorcycle stunt rider. I have done a fare bit of traveling in my riding days but that has all come to an end due to injury. I love being outdoors playing sports but even more so I love to travel. I have all ways liked to take pictures & film action sports. My wife kept telling me that i take great photos with my phone and should buy a proper camera so I can take better pictures. I never took the time to stop & see the world for what it's worth until I bought my first DSLR about a year ago. It didn't take long before I fell in LOVE with the self expression of digital art that the world calls photography. Photos to me have evolved into hunting & stalking my images like a lion does it's prey. This camera and the past year have transformed the Earth into this crazy new world of breath taking sights & new life that I didn't know existed. If granted to me this is a learning experience that money can not buy & a chance to be taught what I can't learn on my own. But ultimately I would like to show everyone the world as I see it now, to reveal the jungle in their back yard or bring the wonders of Earth to their fingertips.
