His Nickname Is ‘Photo Jae’ - by Cindy

Someone said that photo has an attractive. If you are addicted to camera, you can't come out of camera. Jae said to me this one. I want to tell you about one of my friend Jae. Toronto downtown walking tour was our first time to meet after I came here. I had an idea that Jae has a nice digital camera. Everyone called him 'Photo Jae' after first activity.

By accident, he and me had gone to Niagara Falls with some friends to see fireworks. He took splendid pictures for us. Once he had found good place, and then we posed in front of his camera. Sometimes while we were walking on the road, he would suddenly take a picture. After he had taken a picture, he said “Move, Move!”, then we moved another place. He was our photographer. Of course, it was free! That day, we didn’t need to take a picture by ourselves.

What I could see photos of Niagara’s night view, I owed to him. As I saw, when he took a picture, he looks like a professional photographer. Thank you for your service.

His father has worked in Camera Company, so he had been interesting in camera since he was younger. He has studied taking a picture for one year. To buy new camera equipment, for a time he spent his almost money which he had earned by part time job. He said that he can remember easily at that moment through the pictures, so he likes taking a picture. He has been thinking that he needs a physical study about a photograph. He is always endeavoring to take a good picture.

I can’t forget hearing something to him. That was ‘Neither a camera nor skill is necessary to take a good picture. These are additional things to take a picture. The most important things are feeling and composition. Even though a camera has a good lens, if a feeling or a composition is not good, it is not superb picture.’ I agree with your opinion. I hope that you’ll catch a beautiful on film.
