My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Australia | Monday, January 7, 2013 | 5 photos

Once in a lifetime oportunity - this competition is made for me to win!! I no longer enter competitions because I have never won any, however, after seeing this advertised on tv, it is me, exactly what I have been dreaming of and waited for patiently.

I am a mother of 1 autistic boy who is amazing and is starting school this year, I haven't worked since he was born but am wanting to go back to work now I have time on my hands, I don't want to go back to working in an office where I was before kids I want to follow my dreams and passions of being a photographer - and a great one!

We travelled overseas for 2 years once we were married and went to amazing countries and saw amazing cultures, I have always been keen on photography with over 15 000 photos on my computer, I take my camera everywhere, I don't know why but it wasn't till I returned from overseas that I brought my first DSLR. Im hooked, its what I want to do, its what I always think about, this scholarship opportunity would mean the world to me, It would be a great kick start into a career in photography.

I love scenery, cultures and really want to get my creativity flowing and find my full potential. Fingers crossed!
