Travel Pictures https://journals.worldnomads.com/robvallender/ Wed, 13 May 2026 23:42:52 GMT World Nomads Adventures I have been passionate about photography since my dad first let me fire the shutter of his SLR when I was 7 years old. As a result I studied photography at high school, TAFE and at the PSC in Melbourne, and travel has always been a part of my life. Though I went to university to pursue a career in communications, I have actively continued to learn and try and incorporate photography into my work. Winning this competition would be a defining moment for me. It would allow me to purely focus on photography as a career and realise a dream that I have only ever meddled with. I am very professional, reliable, am often described as a very good listener and would take great advantage of this amazing opportunity. Even just entering this competition has been a buzz and really made me think about how much I would love to be a full-time professional photographer. My fingers are crossed! https://journals.worldnomads.com/robvallender/photos/38580/Mongolia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Mongolia robvallender https://journals.worldnomads.com/robvallender/photos/38580/Mongolia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/robvallender/photos/38580/Mongolia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:49:00 GMT 0
