Christopher On:🍯
I've always dreamed to open a photography agency, but I never had the chance to. All my life my parents told me that they know what's best for me, when I was 10, they enrolled me in karate, swimming lessons at the same time with school going on, they always told me to be the best in class, I did it, straight As but it was never enough, at 16 they forced me to do online courses, they didn't even let me choose they said to do medicine course, I did it, but as usual it was never enough, so when was time to go to college I told them I wanted to do photography, they didn't like the idea, and they made me choose between medical school or else they would kick me out from home and would block all my credit cards, and they actually did it for I chose photography, they said it would give me no future and that one day I would beg for their forgiveness, and they may be right and may also be wrong. So I used my high school grades, the college did a small test and I got in it was an intern campus so I slept there, I finished a few months ago, and I am living with my mate from college, I am a "photographer"with that I mean that people hire me to short events to take photos, and eventually I win something like $500 USD per hour, so that's enough for me, sometimes I even do comercial cinematography for car brands, etc, and sometimes I prefer Polaroids than cameras, I think they are classic and a special relique, I hope that one day I can fulfill my dream.
Today I was hired to a party, now I am leaving...
Something casual and CLASSIC, as usual...So eventually I arrived and started doing my job, when finally I saw an empty table and sat, a woman came to me and said that I am handsome, but it was none of my business so I just answered her with a "I KNOW THANKS", when she went, I saw a woman next to me she was just there minding her business, so I took a step and broke the ice...
Chris: hello there young lady- I said and she answered
Michaela: Good evening...Christopher right?- I agreed surprised - ahm Patricia said it was your name- she smiled
Chris: mmhm... ahm- Michaela- she said- Michaela.
Michaela: sooo, photographer huh, pretty impressed
Chris: why do you say that?- I asked
Michaela: please don't get me wrong, it's nice I like the profession, unlike me...- she said with a disapointed face-
Chris: did something happen?- I asked curious-
Michaela: just forget, were here to party isn't it, well my goal is to dance and get drunk one last time this year- she said almost standing up and I took a polariod of her, well I did it, she is different, and mysterious, CLASSIC-what did you just did?
Chris: I just took a polaroid of you, can you sign it please?- I handed her a pen and she signed it, she left, and because I am dumb I didn't ask for her number because I thought I would see her again at the party but I was wrong... I looked for her but didn't find her.
