The Golden Road to Samarkand We are the Pilgrims, master; we shall go Always a little further: it may be beyond the last blue mountain barred with snow Across that angry or that glimmering sea. Surely we are brave who take the Golden Road to Samarkand. - Hassan by James E. Flecker

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Malaysia | Thursday, January 3, 2013 | 5 photos

Sometimes words cannot do justice to the amazing wonders of our world which is what drives me to take a better shot and to be able to show people what is beyond their own backyard.
Travel and photography are my passions because they are my obtainable dreams – I have travelled from Africa to Asia and I love watching the quality of my photography get better and better from the experience I gain. I used to get in trouble when I was younger after mum kept coming back from the camera shop with a handful of blurry green photos that I had secretly taken out of the car window on road trips. Now I know I can use a blurry background to make the subject of my photos stand out however I yet to master than skill... thank goodness for digital !
I would love my photography to continue to get better, I don’t want to just take good photos anymore – I want to take great ones. Ultimately, I hope to open my own gallery one day with a combination of my photos with a section dedicated to emerging local talent.
