My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Australia | Sunday, January 13, 2013 | 5 photos

My name is Tijo John. I am a 30 year old male currently working as a public servant in Australia. More than 4 years ago, I was very fascinated when first introduced to an SLR camera, and until now, photography still is the most exciting thing in my life.
My weekends are normally occupied by events related with photography. I am a serious photographic enthusiast looking forward for an opportunity to get in to professional photography. Admittedly, my own life-long goal is to be a professional photographer. But of course, I need a helping hand and I believe this scholarship will be a stepping-stone for me.
I wish to get chosen for this scholarship as it will be a privilege to get mentored by a world class photographer, even if for a short period of time. On top it will give me confidence in establishing myself as a professional photographer, sometime in the future.
I believe that I am deserving of this scholarship because I put forth a lot of effort into everything that I do. In regards to photography. Thank you in advance for considering my application. It would be a great honor for me if given an opportunity to get directed by a world-class photographer.
