Bendigo at its Best

A 'place' I have visited

Australia | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

I have had a love for photography since receiving my first camera. Natl Geo is a prominent feature in my life and despite having many aspirations for my future; it’s one of my lifelong dreams. From the age of 5 years old, I suffered from Epilepsy. I found myself with limitations. My Epilepsy stopped at age 13 and I currently work with an Epilepsy Support Group. One of my other goals in life, would be to show the kids living with Epilepsy, that it’s not a disability; it doesn’t make them any less capable of achieving their dreams. Taking on this scholarship and learn from Jason and the team, would be the most fulfilling experience for me as a photographer. This is about striving and showing the team, that I can portray images that are original and rarely spoken about. Everything in this world has beauty, I aim to capture as much of it as I can. Photography is a majestic form of expression, of everything that I see around me. There is no boundary on what I want to achieve. I would love to travel the world, exploring and be part of the team that shares the incredible experiences of the most powerful being in the world, Mother Nature.
