My Scholarship entry - Wide Eyed

USA | Thursday, November 20, 2014 | 5 photos

Traveling and photography have always been passions of mine, and while I haven't been able to do nearly as much as I would have liked at this point in my life, I still do everything I can everyday to make those dreams come true. The world is such an interesting and beautiful place, and one of my goals through my photography is to help other people see that, and experience the same awe and wonder that I do. I hope that through these moments of awe people learn to appreciate their planet a bit more and strive toward conservation and sustainability. It can be easy to dismiss those things you don't see everyday and photography is one of the best ways to confront people with the realities. My personal style tends to lean toward paying attention to details, I often find myself fixated on a bit of moss, or the way a fold in a piece of fabric is catching the light. I still of course cannot resist a gorgeous sunset or stately building, but it's the details that always draw me back in. I still have a lot to learn about photography and it would be my great honor to be chosen for this opportunity. Thanks!
