My Scholarship entry - The Villagers of Dhimbam Hills

India | Monday, November 24, 2014 | 5 photos

All my life I thought I wanted to be a writer. It wasn't until I took several photojournalism classes in college that I discovered my life's passion is not so much writing as it is storytelling, and I had discovered another medium for that passion. Since then I have worked tirelessly to become a better storyteller through my photography. In the past three years I have traveled the world with my camera. From backpacking through Spain and Morocco, to shooting weddings in Romania, and hiking into remote mountain villages of India, I have worked to hone my skills as a photographer and tell the stories of the people I meet.
My greatest desire has become sharing stories of people from all of the world to anyone who will listen, and I work every day to become a more articulate storyteller with my photography. There is no greater reward than to be able use a person's story to inspire and awaken others to the world around themselves.
Other than those two college courses, I have been mostly self taught and haven't had the opportunity to receive any professional guidance, so to have the chance to work with and learn from a seasoned photographer would be one of my greatest dreams come true.
