okya im trying this again...g rrr
This is my first blog! I am a 24 yr female living in the beautiful city, Cape Town, South Africa. I currently work as an editor/copywriter but am passionate to pursue photojournalism – I feel there is always a story to be found and subsequently to be told. I am hoping to travel to the East towards the end of the year, preferably Shanghai. I am trying to save up for a camera though before I go and also do a lot of research. I will probably teach english part time to earn money as apparently one can teach over flexible hours. Ive travelled to china before and found it an absolutely fascinating country – has anyone ever spent some time there and written about the culture or photographed the culture / society ? Ultimate I would like to integrate into political photojournalism but cultural differences/similarities are as amazing to me too. Anyway this is going to be my blog of my journey and I am starting it now – at the beginning – and will be documenting the whole process – I hope to have some of you on board giving me support, ideas, thoughts, criticism if you want, and any other random little things that might pop into your mind. Ill be posting pics too. Yay. Im super excited !!!
About Me
- Sarah Claire
- I am Sarah, which means Princess. I am far from a Princess. Rather a master of spontaneity who strives to find flamboyancy in simple things. Breezy days and tanned feet make me smile. Things which make me happy are camp fire ghost stories, sticking stickers, doodling, open minds and the world at large. I have just got my first tattoo. It's the first music notes to a line to a PJ Harvey song that says "If that's all there is, my friend, then lets keep dancin’". I spend a lot of time thinking of old friends and good times. I spend more time thinking about how many places I want to explore though. Humbleness, getting out of my comfort zone and learning from others is of utmost importance to me. My favourite line is "With brains in your head, and feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself in any direction you choose" (Dr. Seuss). I love watching people engage in things they are passionate about, it reminds me why we all have different talents and why we should embrace and celebrate them. I write for a living. I need to be challenged. I am ADD. I talk really loudly and eat loads of popcorn and spill loads of coffee. I also say thank you, please and try smile and laugh a lot.
