My hobby Everybody has a lot of hobbies in their different age I think. When I was a student, I like swimming, playing table tennis, handwriting, dancing, and so on. When I worked, my hobbies were shopping, cooking and listening to the music. Now I like photograph with animals, insects, flowers, sceneries and other people. My camera is Nikon D80 with 24~70mm F2.8. When we go for vacation, I always bring it, because I would like to use my camera to record bits and pieces while we traveling. But I am camera-shy, I don't like the scenery pictures with anyone, because it is not perfection. And I take the picture with somebody, I hope to catch the beautiful moments, so I don't like a person do some pose, I like natural. So in my family albums, there are a lot of scenery pictures. I was photogenic in my young, but now I am not because of old and fat. So I don't like pictures of myself. I have a lot of favorite pictures, such as Mt. Tongariro, Milford Sound, Arrow town in NZ, Haleakala volcano in Hawaii, Kyoto, Kangaroo Island and Tasmania in Australia. Photograph give me happy and memory. When I become a old woman, I hope I can speak a lot of stories to my grandson. Haha!
