A coming of age drive to the himalayas

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

India | Friday, December 21, 2012 | 5 photos

Hi!
My name is Chirag and I live in a small town by the Himalayas,called Shimla. Ever since I was a little boy, I have loved to travel and explore the tremendous diversity that nature has to offer. I spent my late teens driving on challenging roads and I believe that such great travel experiences are vital to a fulfilling life.
I was lucky enough to be born and brought up in a place where there's a completely different, breathtaking view of the mountains, a couple of kilometers in any direction! I find great comfort in desolate landscapes, but it's an absolute thrill for me exploring unfamiliar terrain and learning about cultures vastly different from my own.
Apart from my passion for photography, I'm also a musician and I love to sing and play blues and rock guitar, and have traveled some parts of the country with my band on tour.
I now produce my own music.

I'm only an amateur when it comes to photography and I'm hoping to learn the key things about adding feel and finesse to my photographs, If I am lucky enough to win this scholarship!
I'm sure I would be in safe hands with such a talented and seasoned mentor like Mr. Edwards.

I bet I'd have stories to tell for a lifetime!
:)
