August 2008, I found out that I will get $500 cash from my friend s car insurance. In March 2007 I got a car accident and that $500 I got for the treatment. But then I am so excited to buy a DSLR camera. My aunt let me buy the camera she will add another bucks for me and I have my own saving for about $120. $720 is enough to buy a high end Canon DSLR camera that I had been wondering such as Canon EOS Rebel Xsi. I am happy. The day when my aunt let me buy the DSLR was the best day throughout the year. I cried that day; I was really happy to the point where whatever I did that day my tears keep coming out from my eyes. I was just really happy.   September 2008, I finally bought the DSLR on September 7th. I bought that from amazon.com. Before I actually buy the camera I have already buy the accessories such as tripod, camera bag, extra battery, lens filter and some more. I was really excited but I still have a problem. My mom did not know yet about me buying the camera. I did not know what will she say but I bought that already. On facebook my best friend put her picture that was taken by me using pocket camera long time a go. She dressed up nicely for the photo shoot and we went to Stanford to take pictures there. Somebody commented on her photos and he interested in my photographs. He was asking if I can do a guy photo shoot, and he is willing to pay me for that. I was happy, happy as I can be. The next day I told my mom about my camera and the guy who is willing to pay me for my photograph. Guess what did she say? She was okay with me buying the camera. She started to support me. I have proved that I can do something good and what I have chosen was not wrong.
