My Scholarship entry - Life in Sa Pa, Northern Vietnam

Vietnam | Monday, November 17, 2014 | 5 photos

I see life in angles in lines of perspective, the slow turn of a head, the blink of an eye, glimpses of magic that pass others by. Photography for me has shaped my life profoundly, it's given me the opportunity to pursue a passion and to find out what really makes me tick. It's been one hell of a journey of self discovery that's taken me to places, seeing and experiencing things I'd never thought possible, and I'm forever grateful for how much it's enriched my life.

Yesterday (16/11/14) marked the day of the last shift I'm ever going to work at a part time job, from now on I'm going to do everything in my power to try and make something of myself through story telling in the mediums of words and photography. I'm nervous, I'm scared but more so then both of those emotions I feel a fire burning deep inside of me to embark on this journey, to create something impactful, to help change the world.

My Journey has just begun and I know there will be nothing stopping me from achieving everything I've ever dreamt of. Winning this scholarship would help put my foot in the door, and kickstart the life I've been obsessing about for the last 2 years.
