#19 my new hobby

Recently, I bought a Cannon 40D, called Digital Single Lens Reflex, so taking picture becomes my new hobby. Before I bought the camera, I just thought a camera is only for memorizing. I remember when I was a child; my mother was so good at taking picture. At that time, the camera that my mother had was neither good nor electronically. However, the results of her skills were always wonderful. Her behavior when she tried to take was so professional. I have asked her why mom acted weirdly. Taking pictures is not a just thing, she said, it is a like art. I could not understand what she said, but after almost 20 years later, I can catch her point. I don’t like normal things anymore. I don’t know what makes me, but it is true that I want to feel more real experiences, and I dislike being similar with others. Therefore, I bought a heavy, dark, and ugly camera. However, the quality of results is unbelievable. The more I take pictures, the more I addict that. It is so interested for me. I realize the importance of the light. Maybe I have taken over 10,000 pictures with reducing the light or increasing the light for two weeks. The results of taking picture to use different way are totally different. It makes me crazier about that. I want to buy other lenses being able to make different effects after I go to the college with job. This hobby will be forever, and I want to see the amazing pictures showing my family with my children in the future.

#18 Plans that I made during spring break

I have mentioned about my plan before on blog. My plan was to study hard. However, I could not study very well. Actually, I did not study. Studying during on vacation on which everybody enjoys is too hard. People who become very famous or succeed usually say that if you enjoy the time with your friends, you will never succeed, and you will never rises above the crowd. I think I am a so lazy guy. I should think about my character. I am definitely a lazy person, and I certainly have positive thought. Now I realize I. ^^misunderstand meaning of lazy and optimistic. My lazy behavior was not optimistic behaviors. For example, I have a heavy homework until tomorrow. Lazy person maybe think it is too heavy for every students, so it is ok if I do not homework, and everyone will not do homework. On the other hand, optimistic person will think I can do my heavy homework, and it is not impossible. It is totally different situation. I was first situation person. I totally understand my character during vacation. I am not going to do that again. It will never happen until at least I graduate university here. ^^

#17 one thing that I realize from kids


Yesterday, I went a school to which kids go because a Korean woman who was my classmate last year asked a favor to take pictures for her son’s activities. Last Friday, I bought a new camera at Best buy. The camera is kind of DSLR, looks like heavy and can change lenses. It was a stuff that I really want to buy, so I had thought whether I buy or not for a year. After I bought the camera, I took over one thousand pictures maybe. Therefore, I said to the Korean woman it is really fun that I take pictures, so she asked the favor. The school is located in Valencia St. Her son’s event was like children’s activities exhibition. The title was variety cultures. Children’s ages are 5 to teenagers. They are very cute and beautiful. They showed us who were their parents and me African, Asian, west America behaviors. While I was taking pictures, I realized here is real America. It means that when I went to school, I used to do that, but I could not feel about other country culture because we who acted about other countries were all same country kids Korean. However, here in America live a lot of kinds of people. They who were showing events were Americans, Asians, Arabians, and African American kids. They seemed they do not care about different culture, country, and skin. They can be friend anyone. On the other hand, I thought while they are growing up, some kids will be changed their thought. It is sad. What things make people change? I really wondered about that all day.
