Talk about a time when someone took a photograph of you.
You should say:
When and where the photo was taken
Who took the photo
What the photo depicts
And explain why you like this photo.
Generally, I hate having my photo taken. However, just occasionally, someone will come up with a photo of me that is genuinely good. So, I’m going to tell you about one of my favourite photos that someone took of me.
The photo was taken just a couple of months ago. It was shot at an event downtown in a park called Xuanwu Hu. The picture was taken by a friend, who’s not a professional photographer at all, although I think he is a very good amateur one. He often turns out for local events, taking photos which often appear on the local websites. On that day I was competing in a 10k charity run.
As to the photo he took of me… Well, the short answer is that he snapped a portrait of me at the very moment I crossed the finishing line of the race. In the photo, both my feet are off the ground, I’m punching the air with one hand, and my other is gesturing in some wild celebratory wave of acknowledgement to the crowd as I seem to be rejoicing at completing the race. My head is thrown back in laughter, and you can see my hair (which is longish) swinging around. It is a fantastic photo.
So, why do I like this photo? Well, because it makes me laugh. As I said, you would think from the picture that I had ‘obviously’ come first. In fact, I found the race hard! And in the end I was way behind everyone else, and remained there for the next hour and a quarter. So this picture, far from showing me returning victorious in first place, is a picture of me coming in last. And not just last, but last by some minutes.
I love the photo because I find it hilarious. If I framed it and had it on my wall and said nothing, visitors to my home would assume I must have been the best runner on the day.
And they say ‘the camera never lies’. Well, I know otherwise, don’t I?
