Question

My first photo was taken at the age of 9. While I couldn't even remember the model of the camera, I do remember the enjoyment of looking through the photos.

When I was 16 years old, I bought a Canon camera before an overseas trip. Over the years, I have taken many photos with it. There's Aunt Sarah, smiling in front of Buckingham Palace; Aunt Sarah，smiling under the Eiffel Tower; and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like. They also know what Europe's great landmarks(地标) look like. I didn't think about composition(构图) when taking the photos.

After the camera was stolen, I didn't buy another one for a long time because I didn't want to buy a camera until I found a Vivitar Series camera. It worked well in natural light, and I took a lot of photos with it. From then on, I had an artist's eye. My pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead, I took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets. I captured (抓往) the colour and character of the country. My friends were so interested that they asked for more.

Of course, I won the first prize easily in some photo competitions. My friends often told me that I moved from an amateur (业余爱好者) to an artist.
