My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Serbia | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

I am a professional literary translator and passionate amateur photographer. Through digital photography I seized the opportunity to pursue my boyhood passion for photography, which was unavailable to me due to the crisis in my country while I was growing up. I pride myself in squeezing the most out of all the hardware that I have (presently a Canon 60d, but I have only the kit lens). I am an avid adventurer and I apply the same resourcefulness in taking every opportunity to expand my knowledge and experience through exploration of both travel and photography. I also have much international travel experience and enjoy observing and interacting with different cultures. I lectured at several international volunteer workshops, where I spoke about my approach to photography and how it fits into my idea of experiencing the world and sharing those experiences. In addition to two small exhibitions in Belgrade, I have had significant positive feedback on my Facebook page where I keep a “photo journal” (public). I take pride hearing how I have motivated people to expand their experiences. This is why I believe that I am the right person to benefit from the experience that NG is offering.
