I REALLY LIKE PHOTOGRAPHING!

Taken by myself in an art gallery

The process of taking photos is spectacular, it is another way to record our daily lives and memories. My favorite is documentary photography, it helps me to know some obscure places in the city. They are parts of the city, in another view of beauty. And also, I like connecting music and photography. Some lyrics can remind me about some scenes I have seen. Of course listening to music is one of my favorite ways to relax.

Academic Goals and Interests

Visual Arts(Fine arts), Economics

People always get first impression from appearance. Visual arts involves a lot of things, and fine arts is my favorite. It can express feelings with various ways, such as painting, pictures, sculptures. As for me, the most fascinating thing is using abstract and indirect way to show how people feel. We can know a lot from someone's work. However, I am also interested in economics although they have nothing in common, not at all. The another thing I enjoy is about analyzing. There is a huge amount of analysis that I can do in economics. Using logic and intelligence to have connections with everything is what I like.

I'd like to choose economics as my major and visual arts as my minor.

School Activities

When I was in high school, I participated in two clubs. The first one is music club. We had some shows also charity performances, it is satisfied when we knew that we can help the others with our efforts. It meant a lot to me.

The second one is business club. I also organized some activities like the business competition and invited someone professional to do speech. It made me grow up. I had to do all things by myself with my team member. We made poster, did a lot of surveys, contacted with each participants and so on. Although it made me tired and a little anxious, it brought me with happiness, growth, independence and friendship.

Music, Athletics, etc.

  • Photography
  • Music
  • Detective Movies and novels
  • Horsemanship
  • Writing
  • Piano
  • Singing

When I was a child, I wanted to be a detective like Sherlock Holmes. Using intelligence to solve cases is new sexy!

My father is really interested horsemanship. After I tried once with him, I totally understand why he loves it so much. It is not only about getting along with horses and coach, but also about learning how to be brave and confidence to achieve my goals over and over again. Experiences with them are precious for me.

With the advanced development of the contemporary world, less people like writing instead of reading others. However, writing is a fantastic thing that worths me to keep it.

Piano is one of the most popular instruments, I really appreciate that it can shape musical structure and represent classical style. I played the piano for more than ten years, my favorite pianist is Chopin.

Hobbies

Documentary photography is my favorite hobby, I need to hang out and discover things that attract me then record them as albums. It gives me a lot inspiration to do some visual works.

I don't know how to express the mood when I find fascinating pictures that can make me come up with some interesting ideas.

Expressing feelings without any words is what I would like to do. That is artsy way!
