The Paris I was Promised

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

France | Saturday, January 12, 2013 | 4 photos

I have a really bad memory. I struggle to recall exactly what places or people look like after a few weeks or days through which I have developed a compulsion to take pictures of EVERYTHING. I have always had a childish love for pretty pictures and my lack of drawing skills lead me to fall in love with photography. I admit that my knowledge about photography is very limited, but I really want to learn and improve the photos I take. Learning from a professional photographer would give me valuable skills and I trust that someone with that much experience can teach me so much! I just really want to learn to take pictures that I can be proud of. I learn quite fast and I am independent and extremely curious.
After I went to Europe, I knew I loved traveling and I have wanted to travel before. I love seeing new places and experiencing new things and cultures. Traveling alone will not be a problem for me and I have thought about becoming a travel photographer and I want to see if this is for me. I have always had wanderlust and want to travel very badly and be able to show people the good and the bad of the places I visit. I want to capture the world around me realistically and honestly.
