Yosemite, Another World

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

USA | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

I am Nour Yehia and I am precise when it comes to presenting myself! I am from Egypt and studying now at the University of Chicago in a year abroad program. During my break I had the chance to visit California and to be honest, Yosemite took my breath away! It is like another world. Though it was during Winter and it was extremely cold over there, it was beautifully created by nature.

I have two reasons why you should choose me for this scholarship: first because I adore travel photography. In other words, I travel with a main aim to take pictures! Though my passion is really intense, I wish I can be trained with a professional. I read articles about photographing professionalism, but still the one on one training will be super beneficial and satisfying for me. The second reason is Oman! I always heard about the beauty of nature in this place! What is more interesting about it is that it is in the Middle East and since I am Egyptian, I feel I will relate to it or feel some sort of connection between my soul and nature and that's when the learning process reaches its optimum.
