My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

China | Saturday, January 12, 2013 | flickr photos

I am a very well-travelled amateur photographer. I have been to many amazing places in my lifetime & captured many exquisite moments. I am fit, athletic, have a great eye for detail, am an obsessive journal writer & am always seeking to improve my photographic techniques. I have a huge passion & respect for the people and customs of other cultures. I get great enjoyment out of meeting & photographing interesting characters, especially children. In fact, on my last two adventures (Cambodia and NYC, Canada 2012) I had immense fun posting daily Facebook blogs with photos for my family & friends to follow. And I love photography. I just love it.
Oman has a rich & exotic history & has, in recent times become a modern, peaceful, politically and socially stable Sultanate. It would be a joy to visit and photograph this picturesque country and its polite, respectful people under the expert tutelage of a world renowned photographer.
I believe I have the potential to become an exceptional travel photographer and the possibility of sharing my travel photos and their stories to a greater audience would be my ultimate accomplishment. Therefore I feel I would be perfect for this scholarship.
