Big trouble in little China

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

China | Tuesday, January 8, 2013 | 5 photos

Photography has been a big part of my life and has always tempted my imagination. From when i was young, i can remember looking into our family closet to find my mothers old pentax spotmatic. the sound of the shutter clicking and the action of winding the next slide always gave a level of satisfaction. Since then i have been using it on any occasion appropriate and have recently decided to put the images on a blog. My first SLR was handed on to me from my sister which was a Canon 400d. Ever since i adopted it, i've been taking thousands of images of my home, my friends and my life. I've been brought up on a small, New Zealand winery on the east cape of the north island where i have embraced my surroundings and captured them on film and digital. I spent the first half 2012 in China, living with a relative. I spent my time working part-time in an Irish pub and when i wasn't working, i was using my camera, building a blog for my friends. it opened my eyes and broadened my horizons to give my an experience i have learned so much from. i plan to spend many years to come traveling, photographing and documenting the world with a strong passion and thats why i think i should be chosen.
