This year I have been very busy but it has also been very exciting. My favorite aunt has given me an expensive camera for my birthday and I discovered photography. I am gratefull to my aunt so I plan to study photography in college. Before I was never interested in photography. I like to draw but I don't like technology. Since I wasn't interested in photography. Then I took a photography course after school, in the photography course I learned to develop my own pictures. At first, I only took pictures of my friends. Taking pictures of my friends got boring. since then, I have experiemented with many different kinds of photography. Lately I been taking pictures of buildings and I have found that I really like architectural photography.
