Caption: Blows your mind away! Greenland -Nuuk
Caption: When I won a photography contest to Photograph Nuuk in the summer of 2015, the capital of Greenland, I came to the point of realising a childhood dream of discovering this far away place. As a 10 year old growing up in LA, I asked myself the questions of who lives there? How do people look like? Is it ice and snow all the time?
So when I visited, I was a child all over again. You know what it is to have butterflies in your stomach every day?
