Poverty in Nepal https://journals.worldnomads.com/ramonf/ Tue, 7 Apr 2026 22:17:24 GMT World Nomads Adventures The ability to just freeze a moment in time has always been something that I have found fascinating. The more I captured events this way, the more of a passion photography became for me. Since the time I picked up my first camera, I have found photography to be both a constant source of fascination and inspiration that has shaped how I perceive life itself. On a recent trip to Nepal, I was shocked by the sheer amount of poverty that was evident everywhere one looked. The grueling and unfortunate conditions that a lot of Nepalese have to go through put things in perspective and made me come to a very hopeful realization - that no matter the hardship, humans have the ability to persevere, something that I hope my images capture. Personally I always found National Geographic to do just that, to inspire as well as bestow a sense of hope.The search for scenes of the unusual & unexpected, or just pure courage and determination has made me yearn to travel and experience the world. Winning this competition will allow me to be exposed to the skills and experiences of a seasoned photographer and in doing so help me to understand my shortcomings and hone my own skills. https://journals.worldnomads.com/ramonf/photos/39266/Nepal/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Nepal ramonf https://journals.worldnomads.com/ramonf/photos/39266/Nepal/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/ramonf/photos/39266/Nepal/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:54:00 GMT 0
