Work Life Laos

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Laos | Friday, December 14, 2012 | 5 photos

My name is Sharon and my registered employment is a nurse. It is forbidden for me to track my work through film and photography, yet it plays an important part of documenting my life outside my "office".

It took some time before I learnt to first experience a moment and then document on film, but I believe I have it down to the perfect balance now and love reliving my memories and experiences through photos. Those photos that conjure smells, sounds and atmospheres are a true work of art and something I strive for in my snapping away.

Not only did this competition inspire me to look at my travels through different eyes but to see a different side to the wonderful, happy people of this region and how they thrive in their life.
