ambitions of encyclopedic scope, something like "hoping to cover all the domains of knowledge"; in the context of a photographer, to photograph everything worth photographing
I get where you're coming from, but "encyclopedic" has a pretty specific definition, and it doesn't twin with "ambition" in any sensible way. It seems like it should, but it doesn't. I'm commenting on the poor writing. Maybe "grand ambitions", or "colossal ambitions"? "encyclopedic ambitions" just doesn't work, unless we're going with vibe-writing :-)

I stopped reading at that point.
