225 Blog Proposal

This blog is mainly about me and my passion for the world, traveling and photography. I thought that the titel "snapshot of the world" would sum it up fairly well. I chose this topic mainly, because I have a lot of exciting travel plans this year that I like to talk about. I also chose a broader topic, because I think it will allow me to talk about many things that occupy me, like what is going on in the world (politics etc), about art and photography( I finally got into Basic Photography this semester) and cultural differences (between Kiel, Germany and Brookings, USA) that I encounter everyday and that still surprise me.
My goal is to talk about the many things that I have experienced and will experience. Afterall, this is an online-journal. More importantly, I would like to make people think outside of the box. There are many things we take for granted, if we never step outside of our comfort zone. I think there are many sources like travel sites and newspaper articles (about current world issues for example) that I will be able to incorporate. I will also post some of my photography and information from other sites about my favorite hobby.
I found some blogs on traveling. I found http://traveltalesfromindia.blogspot.com/ especially interesting, because it talks about somebodys own experiences in India and it includes pictures from India. The person made a point to talk about personal experiences on her travels, and I felt that that is something I would like to do also.
http://dsato.blogspot.com/ is the side of a Photojournalism student and I love the topic and the lay-out. I really like the design and how he incoorperates pictures and links into his blog.
I think this will be interesting and fun!
