I've always been amazed by the camera.
Being behind it, I could change how everyone viewed the world.
There was one girl who inspired me. A girl I met in the park when I was five. She was taking pictures of herself, then looking at the little square paper that came out after she took the picture. She always frowned when she saw it.
Then she saw me watching her. Her face suddenly changed from a frown to a bright smile. I blinked, then she was right in front of me, switching out my teddy bear for her camera.
"Take a picture of me!" she instructed, delicately holding my bear. So I did.
Somehow, we became closer. Here she was, an extroverted, perfect individual who loved to be in front of a camera, leading a person's eye to her beautiful outer self.
I was always behind the camera, amazed by how much she could reveal with on look.
We became close friends and even professionals. I became a famous photographer, and now at age 17 I'm being hired to photograph famous models.
But the only person I want in my photos is her.
She inspired me as no other could.
And that is how I, Daniel Howard, fell in love with Tristan Woods.
