Tanzania Love

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Tanzania | Saturday, December 8, 2012 | 5 photos

I am a Graphic Designer who was starting my own business, staying up till 3am each night getting it all started, investing hours and many dollars into it, until I just bought a ticket to Tanzania one day and never looked back for twelve months.

There I held a DLSR for the first time and discovered the power of photography - WOW! So I came back home and am studying photography full-time now.

You should pick me because other than the usual 'photography is my passion, I want to see the world' blah blah, I want another sticker in my overfilled passport, I want to make the students in my class envious, I want a free trip! No in all honesty you should pick me because I thrive on being thrown in environments that are foreign, I want to be put in the deep-end with a world renowned photographer and see him work his magic, taking home the tips he will gift me with. I want to be able to see the world through his eyes and show him how I see the world and collaborate together.

Also the Middle East is so misunderstood and as a photographer it is our duty to show the truth, I want to show the world the beauty of a volatile, yet serene part of the world. The magic, the people and it's culture.
