My Photo scholarship 2011 entry

Worldwide | Wednesday, November 2, 2011 | 5 photos

The photos I have chosen are exactly the type of photos that describe me. My late father did photography as a hobby, and his old nikon camera was the first camera that had been passed down to me. I have always wanted to take his fascination and love for photography and share it with people. My passion is visiting new places around the world, especially religious and outdoor sites and taking close up photos as they create such beauty, character and truth to the surroundings. The most important thing I feel is that it also allows me to interact with the community by speaking with the locals to create warmth and realness to the shot . My passion has and will always be photography, whether it is a hobby or possibly a career. These photos show my true passion and adventure for photography as well as the lengths I will go to get the perfect shot. I may not be the best photographer or even have the best camera / equipment but my enthusiasm for it will drive me and allow me to create memorable photos for people. I am at a stage in my life where I can chose to continue doing what I do behind a desk or have the chance to enter this once in a life time opportunity and test myself in the real world of photography and see what my late father has always dreamt of pursuing.
