My
first camera was a Kodak Brownie given to me at 12 years old. Upon the arrival
of instant cameras I jumped right in with a Polaroid Swinger and never looked
back, I was hooked forever!
While
living here in Bali, Indonesia my day-to-day world is about capturing images of
a place filled with colorful ceremonies, warm friendly people, and some of the
most beautiful and diverse topography in the world!
One
of my learning exercises is to capture as many images that need very little
editing (a perfect world scenario). Meaning, when I look through the lens I look
for an image that says a story, has exact composition, correct lighting, and
the right angles. I call it my “take it in one shot” session.
Photography
not only captures life but also teaches about life. Thus far, photography has
been my vehicle to an exciting and fulfilling personal journey.
The
planet, and the humans that inhabit it, reveals more than the human eye can
capture and keep. Alternatively, the camera helps the eye not only to see, it
helps us to speak without words.
Landscapes
reveal to us man’s love for or destruction of what we see. Animals, like people,
give us a wide spectrum of visuals, meaning, and emotion. These are my
passions, capturing and sharing what I see as I see it.
I
will use the scholarship to strengthen my photographic knowledge and open the
doors to working as a respected professional photographer.
