My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

USA | Friday, December 14, 2012 | 5 photos

Hi, my name is Ervin Elzie and I'm currently 18 years old. Photography is part of my daily life, and wherever I go, I'm always accompanied by a fine piece of glass.
I first got into photography during the summer of 2012. My first camera was a Micro Four Thirds camera, known as the Olympus EPL-1. I've always thought of photography as a skill that we're all naturally born with. We see and capture memories with our mind. To me, a photograph will always retain memories. Also everywhere you look you see photographs. Whether it be in the newspaper, on billboards, or in peoples homes. You can't deny the fact that photography is a large part of our everyday life.
As I began to explore the nature, and wonders, of Photography, I discovered the style that I wish to master. The style of travel photography. After I graduated, I've conjured the firm decision of joining the Air-Force for still photography. Traveling the world, experiencing life on a different level, and photography, all in one package.
I want to experience traveling photography hands on and explore every angle possible. -Ervin
