Nowadays almost everyone has became a photographer. The smartphones of today have made it possible. I click many selfies with my phone and keep deleting those which don’t turn out good. Actually I become very conscious in front of the camera and the photographs usually don’t look natural here. I would like to talk about a time when a professional photographer clicked a photograph of me which has come out very nice and is my favorite pick of me. I remember it was my cousin’s wedding two months ago. I was wearing my new silk suit after the main function we were all dancing like mad to the tune of DJ. All my cousins were on the floor, the cameran were there covering it all. Later on we asked the photographer to give us all the photos and videos he had captured in our external drive so that we could see them and pick out the best ones. The photographer was very reluctant to give all the coverage to us but we insisted and he had to give in. All my photographs on the dance floor were good but one was exceptionally good. Two of my cousins were also there in the pic and all were looking good. We were also engrossed in dancing that no one was conscious. All of us uh are in a typical pang ra pose. I was wearing a yellow suit with green embroidery and matching jewellery. One of my cousin was in magenta suit and the other one was in royal blue. The picture has come out very colorful. My aunt got this photograph enlarged and framed and gifted one copy to all three of us. Now this is adoring the wall of our living room. Whenever I see this picture the memories of the whole wedding come in front of my eyes.

Nowadays, almost everyone has become a photographer. The smartphones of today have made it possible. I click many selfies with my phone and keep deleting those that don't turn out well. Actually, I become very self-conscious in front of the camera, and the photographs usually don't look natural. I'd like to talk about a time when a professional photographer took a picture of me that came out beautifully and is my favorite. I remember it was my cousin's wedding two months ago. I was wearing my new silk suit, and after the main ceremony, we were all dancing wildly to the DJ's music. All my cousins were on the dance floor, and the cameras were there capturing everything. Later, we asked the photographer to give us all the photos and videos he had taken on an external drive so we could see them and pick out the best ones. The photographer was hesitant to give us all the coverage, but we insisted, and he had to give in. All my photos on the dance floor were good, but one was exceptionally good. Two of my cousins were also in the picture, and we all looked great. We were so engrossed in dancing that no one was self-conscious. We're all in a typical 'pang ra' pose. I was wearing a yellow suit with green embroidery and matching jewelry. One of my cousins was in a magenta suit, and the other one was in royal blue. The picture turned out very colorful. My aunt had this photograph enlarged and framed and gifted a copy to all three of us. Now it adorns the wall of our living room. Whenever I see this picture, the memories of the entire wedding come flooding back.
