I like taking photos!

I feel like writing here so much. I started it yesterday, and I couldn't stop writing more and receiving more advice about writing articles from all you guys.
Today I want to talk something about taking photos.
The day before yesterday, I went to a nice place which is called "NanLuo GuXiang" in Chinese with one of my best friends, and during that journey, I found that taking photos has become an important part in my life.
I took some pictures of nice tablets, ads, shops, etc. and of course, pictures of my friend. I don't like taking too many photos of myself, but i'm sure i'm a self-appreciated vain person! HAHA^_^
Taking photos is a kind of living which represents the feelings of the person who is holding the camera and pressing the shutter without saying anything. One friend said to me, "I could read your personality when reading your photos." That is definitely true, and she doesn't want me to copy what others are doing with their cameras to create my own pictures, because she thinks that would bury my own ideas about things, taking pictures, and my life as well. I believe so!
Yesterday, it was the first time for me to modify I modified my pictures with photoshop, which was really magical! It almost changed the whole feeling of the pictures and reached where I wanted them to be.
I am just a freshman of beginner at taking photos and quite a freshman of beginner at modifying pictures, but I'd like to learn more while enjoying my life more with by taking different photos!
I love it!

Good job!
- I changed "self-appreciated" to "vain", but "vain" might be a little too harsh. "Self-important" would work too, and it has less harsh connotations.
-Some of the sentences sound a little unnatural, but grammatically they are fine.
- In English we really only use the word "freshman" to describe people in their first year of highschool/college, otherwise we use "beginner".

I like the attached photo and would love to see more pictures of China!
