The story of taking photos






Today I will tell you about my interesting story in high school about taking photos with my classmates.
It was two days before the national universities’ entrance exam, that day we didn’t have lessons and we will leave the school after the exam, so we decided to take some photos together before we parted from each other. There were 11 students. But we had no cameras so we went to a photo studio to rent a camera, but the boss said that all the cameras that could be rented had been rented and there was only one professional camera left and it was very expensive so he didn’t want to rent it to us. So we begged the boss for a long time. We said that we were the top students in the Ezhou senior high school, and we won’t cheat hi m and won’t break the camera. However, the boss then said he could rent the camera to us if we gave him 1000yuan as a pawn. But how would us students have so much money? At that time we were very upset and don’t know what to do.
Finally I said that if I could use my telephone as a pawn. I supposed that he won’t agree because my telephone was a ve ry old one and surely wasn’t worth 1000yuan. But to our surprise, he agreed. So we took the camera back to school happily.
Then we started to take photos. We posed in many different ways to show our happiness. You can see from the pictures. There was one photo in which I was lifted by my classmates. Look! How happy we were! We even lay on the football field to pose like a letter V and the number 3 and 11 because we were in the 3(11) and we al l wanted our class would have a victory in the exam. We took so many pictures that we used up all the energy in the battery. We were so happy that day that we all forgot the stress of the exam…
Now I often take a look at these vivid photos, and it is an enduring memory in my life. And I always think about my friends. I miss them very much. But fortunately I have these photos. I can take a look at it when I miss them. And the happy moment will revive in my mind. Oh the happy senior high school…..

  1. Thank you for sharing these vivid pictures with us. The memory about senior high school is always meaningful and enduring for everyone. Because we are all childlike and hopeful about our future. We don't need to worry about food and money,we don't have to do much housework or part-time jobs. what we have to do is study.when I saw the photos you posted, I recalled the days I spent with my classmates in senior high school. I felt a little upset but thanks to the photos we took that reduce my sorrow about being separated from my friends in remote China.Though we are not staying with our friends ,our hearts are connected tightly. Though we may cry when we miss them, the tears rolling down are sweet to heart.

  2. Wow,these are great photos. So it was really worthwhile to exchange your telephone for the camera. A picture captures a thousand words. You`ve captured what could be the best time of your youth. I hope you will continue to maintain this friendship.
