My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Philippines | Saturday, June 1, 2013 | 4 photos

I have always been interested in photography since I first laid my eyes on my uncle’s camera when I was young. I was fascinated by how it can capture a person’s emotion in just one click and visibly preserve that memory for a lifetime. The main reason why photography got my interest is that it matches my personality. I like doing things fast for productivity reasons and I want to see its outcome instantly. Despite the fast pace, I make sure that I get to showcase the best of what a subject can project.

I am lucky to have multiple interests that compliment each other perfectly. I like going to unfamiliar places, meet new friends, discover their culture and look for an adventure. I have always been an outgoing person despite my guarded childhood. I guess being isolated as a child is one of the reasons why i developed this strong urge to travel and explore the world. And when I got my first taste of freedom by traveling with strangers, I felt like I was home away from home.

I cant say I take the best photos but I can assure you, I always try to bring out the best of my subjects at its pureness and beauty. I know I will learn much more if you let me join your adventure to Greenland.
