To Kiss the Sun https://journals.worldnomads.com/shannah/ Thu, 30 Apr 2026 01:27:50 GMT World Nomads Adventures Photography is what keeps me sane. I've always had a passion for finding the beauty within the mundane and discovered that photography was a wonderful way to do so. I work full time as a picture framer and find that photography is not only a great artistic outlet, but a constructive way to relax. I am currently saving to pursue my dream of traveling and exploring the photographic opportunities the world has to offer. The four images I have submitted encapsulate the type of lifestyle I am surrounded by. I have lived in a small town by the beach my entire life and am constantly amazed by the ever-changing scenery. Although i have captured the journey along the boardwalk to the ocean featured in "To Kiss the Sun" many times, I find that each photo portrays a unique quality of Australian seaside living. Personally, I believe that photography is far more that just a means of recording a moment in time, but rather a way of communicating how you see and experience the world around you. Since the day I picked up my camera, my knowledge of photography has continued to grow. I find it extremely important that I never stop learning and continuously challenge myself to improve. Although i may not be the most technical photographer out there, I am extremely passionate about what I do and am always willing to learn. This opportunity provided would be an amazing way to begin the dreams I have of living as a photographic journalist and exploring the world I am so fortunate to be a part of. https://journals.worldnomads.com/shannah/photos/23560/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry Travel Worldwide shannah https://journals.worldnomads.com/shannah/photos/23560/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/shannah/photos/23560/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:50:00 GMT 0
