“A piece of life”
How long ago was the camera invented? Ten,
twenty years ago? My first encounter with technology with cameras started in 7th
grade when I was introduced to my first given camera. The camera I received was
a Nikon. It was very small and light weight.
My camera wasn’t the best camera but it did a big change in my life. Receiving
that camera was greatest of all time and became a part of me throughout my life
to this day.
Cameras have created a legacy in me in
my early years. I have created history of my own that till this day I see. Pictures
that my parents took in throughout my childhood have made me realize that everything
changes, not only does physical as well as mentally. As years passed, I see pictures
of prior years that have changed and moved on like society, events, family,
friends and myself. I always asked myself “why did we all want to grow up?” if
all we can do is see pictures and realize how things change.
Myself, I took many types of pictures that
have had great meaning to me. Some examples of the pictures that I have taken
are family portraits, friends, scenes that liked seeing, and events that have occurred
throughout my short life. One of the most important pictures that I have taken
is of myself. I have taken many pictures of myself not only for the way
physically I changed but what has changed on the things I’ve done. I have seen
my accomplishments that I have succeeded and also material wise on what I have
done with what I earned. Each and every picture has a meaning, I always try to
keep the date to look back and say “that was me?.”
My photographs with my Nikon are
effective to my daily life. They are affective because I say to myself, if I did
it here than I can do it here as well. The most important picture that I have
taken that gives me the passion to keep pushing is my graduations and my
family. They give me the strength that I need because they are my motivation. Motivation
is in those pictures because they always told me to continue being who I am and
try to become what I pursue in life. I always say to myself, “if I did this in
the past, than I can do more now”. That’s one of my motivation in seeing
pictures that I took in the past years. Seeing the photographs also have
brought memories that I remember like times that we had a family outing, events
that I played soccer in and also accomplishments that I have done.
