Inner thoughts through travel https://journals.worldnomads.com/snewman/ Sat, 18 Apr 2026 22:58:54 GMT World Nomads Adventures My name is Scott Newman, and I am a Canadian who was drawn into photography initially because of the science. My education was in photonics and optics and I was drawn to my first camera as an opportunity to apply the theory I had learnt. It was not until I began to travel that I started to see photography as a venue to create art and tell stories. Visiting new places taught me to start seeing the world around me differently. A lesson I try to apply at home as well. I still look to light and the technical but now I search for the angle and composition that will speak to people who will see my work. Like many of my fellow applicants, I am still growing into my own style of photography and yearn to continue this growth and dream of perhaps making this a career and life. What I do know is that I have felt that special joy when one of my photographs causes someone to pause, even if only for a moment, to think about their life and their world. This scholarship presents an unfathomable opportunity for me to learn firsthand how to not just document a moment but to bring it to life and tell the story behind it. https://journals.worldnomads.com/snewman/photos/51935/Canada/Inner-thoughts-through-travel Travel Canada snewman https://journals.worldnomads.com/snewman/photos/51935/Canada/Inner-thoughts-through-travel#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/snewman/photos/51935/Canada/Inner-thoughts-through-travel Mon, 24 Nov 2014 07:03:11 GMT 0
