10 days ago you might remember I was diligently working on a video that means a lot to me. I applied for photographer Me Ra Koh’s SOAR Scholarship, an amazing opportunity that will give 3 lucky, talented and deserving women the tools needed to launch a photography business in 2010.
If you haven’t heard yet my video is now posted and ready for view on Me Ra Koh’s website. If you want to see my submission just click the link below to check it out. If you feel so moved you are welcome to leave your comments of support as well. When my video loads, if you do not see comments on the right side of your screen just click the ‘show details’ button at the top of the page and the comments should appear.
Beryl’s SOAR Video Application
But don’t just watch my video. Please please please watch the others. Start watching the them all and you’ll quickly see so many other inspirational stories. The judges start reviewing videos soon and mine is one in a sea of 255 amazing applications. Stories of hope, fear, tragedy, motivation, determination, and excitement about what 2010 may bring. These women will be my anchor next year. Keeping me grounded and focused on this journey.
Thanks to Me Ra’s encouragement we’ve already started talking, commenting, and conversing. On the SOAR site, Facebook, Twitter, via email, our blogs. And it’s only been 10 days since I shot my video and 4 days since my video went live on the site! It’s incredible to see the photography revolution Me Ra has begun from one small spark of inspiration. And the conversations I am having with these fellow photographers, who all share my passion, and my fire to learn, and to grow, and to dream, and to become. It’s amazing.
And it’s only just begun.
