First - to be a witness of a moment that someone may never see. Second - to share this moment with others. To achieve both goals you have to be brave enough to turn from the path you're going on, take your camera out, shoot, and show what you've done. I always have this special feeling of excitement when I see that pictures I take can make people express pure emotions. Understanding that someone can see and most important FEEL what I felt when I saw the picture through my viewfinder inspires me to work more on my photographic skills so I could be like a mediator between different people and cultures. When I hold my camera and get an opportunity to see what is hidden from the eyes of the "common" tourists feels like going behind the scenes. It's an amazing feeling, for example, when despite the language barrier you get to be an invited guest in a place you dreamt to see. I do want to make great photos that can represent what I actually see and how I feel about what I see. This is why I wish to win the Scholarship. I believe it will be a great opportunity to get a unique experience that can be reflected in my future works. https://journals.worldnomads.com/sveta_k/photos/39145/Turkey/Turkish-bread-Simple-thing-that-made-my-day Travel Turkey sveta_k https://journals.worldnomads.com/sveta_k/photos/39145/Turkey/Turkish-bread-Simple-thing-that-made-my-day#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/sveta_k/photos/39145/Turkey/Turkish-bread-Simple-thing-that-made-my-day Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:15:00 GMT 0 With those pictures I want to tell a story of one day in a town’s life. The town’s name is Dahab – what means "gold" in Arabic. I talked to a few local people - they can't say exactly was gold ever found there. But to me it seemed like gold is hidden in every sun ray, and with every wind blow it illuminates everything on it’s way. As soon as the sun rises it quickly warms the sea and the sand that are sharing it’s energy with us. Whoever you are and wherever you’re from this type of ¨gold¨ is priceless. If you can feel the beauty of life in every thing and every creature you see, you’re richer then anyone living in the golden palace. And this is what I felt when I spent a day walking on the streets of Dahab. From sunrise to sunset I could feel that life of this place is calm and relaxing filled with warm, bright colors. And that girl with umbrella just seemed like she cought that pace of life and was enjoying every bit of it. Few animals came on my way while I was waiting for the bus. Those two seemed to meet for the first time and that charming moment made everyone smile. Right after I captured it, I noticed a girl that held the camel. The look of her eyes just stood in my mind. It was so deep and strong reflecting something more than that easy life I saw around. “I want to come back and explore this place better, to get to know and understand it's people” - that's what I thought of when after the sunset I was sitting on the beach watching a lonely boat swaying on the water. The reason I want to win is simple - I want to learn. Learn with and from a professional. I love to explore new places and different cultures because it helps me discover myself, develop and grow. And the opportunity to capture and share a moment that influenced my life may make a change in others. https://journals.worldnomads.com/sveta_k/photos/32081/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry Travel Worldwide sveta_k https://journals.worldnomads.com/sveta_k/photos/32081/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/sveta_k/photos/32081/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry Tue, 8 Nov 2011 11:11:38 GMT 0
