Cusco,Peru,2012 https://journals.worldnomads.com/peru2012/ Fri, 1 May 2026 02:19:17 GMT World Nomads Adventures I am scared of the impermanence of life. For this reason, I have found that for me, photography is a healing process. I love taking photos for the simple fact that I can preserve an image or a moment. Even as time passes, I still have a reminder, one that I can share, of what has been. And this is why photography is one of my greatest passions. Another passion of mine is the degree I am currently pursuing; Peace, Conflict, and Justice studies. Nonviolence and Social Justice are very important to me. I consider myself an activist, and hope that one day my photography will be a tool that aids in the process of bringing peace and understanding into the world. These two passions lead me to believe that I would be a good candidate for the Travel Photography contest. Though often my work tends to gravitate towards the human face and figure, I so desire to transform this into an art form that can make a political and social statement. I am not a person who has been photographing their entire life. I am not the quickest photographer, or the bravest. But I see myself as a person who has the intense desire to learn more about how photography can bring about change. Please consider me. https://journals.worldnomads.com/peru2012/photos/41774/Peru/A-place-I-have-visited Travel Peru peru2012 https://journals.worldnomads.com/peru2012/photos/41774/Peru/A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/peru2012/photos/41774/Peru/A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 24 Jun 2013 17:03:23 GMT 0
