Where the everyday lives and culture of places, not just the tourist attractions are captured

My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

Worldwide | Friday, October 15, 2010 | 5 photos

I am a graduate in Chemical Engineering from The University of New South Wales, Australia with the passion and an eye for photography.

When I travel, I usually like to befriend the locals, catch the public bus with the locals, learn the culture and even language they speak to understand them better. Places I've visited include Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Korea-Seoul, Australia-Sydney(3 years), Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide(4 months), Canberra and surrounding the cities, like Newcastle, Wollongong, Werribee, etc., New Zealand-South Island, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia-Bratislava, Trnava, Dolny Kubin where we hiked up low tatras, etc.

The pictures attached are from my trips from different angles. Although I do not own DSLR, I try to capture to describe the emotions at that point of time.

My personal favourite adventure was particularly from my travels in Slovakia where I had the opportunity to travel with the Trnava folklor group for their performances around Slovakia as a member of the group. I even got to wear one of the member's grandmother's wedding dress passed on to her.

The of the photos are descriptions are attached to the photos.

I hope you'd take time to consider my application.
