I am Thomas Bongani Hart (a.k.a Trailblazing Tomtom), a wondering academic, adventurer and human rights activist. Born an African, my love for Africa has taken me all over the continent doing research on how to better the lives of people such as the Bushmen in the Kalahari to fishermen in Mozambique and now refugees in parts of Eastern Africa. During these travels I have taken it upon myself to learn the skills of photography as a hobby. However, photography has taken over my soul and now I am wanting make it a profession in telling stories of hope, achievement and inspiration in Africa in order to move the continent forward in more positive perspective in the eyes of the world. Thus, with my passion, talents and skills in the creative arts, making this world a better and turning every path walked upon into a adventure, I am your man, your photographer and your eager and willing student for this scholarship in travel photography in the white wilderness of Greenland. With an eye for the magical and curiosity of a nomandic storyteller, I can make the greatest contribution towards the scholarship for both the organizations and myself.
