Message from the photographer

I met her this spring. We started off with an awkward “how do you do” in the new classroom at the beginning of the new school year. Since then I can say with pride that we are good friends. We get along even though we have only known each other for less than a year and have different hobbies. We have fun and laugh together. We compete against each other. Sometimes we are depressed but we cheer each other up. We cry, we are angry, and we laugh again. We will say goodbye to each other one day because we have different goals in life. We are already halfway through our high school life. I will do my best to spend every minute with her.

About the subject

I met her in our second year at high school when we changed classrooms. We spend our whole day together now, laughing and having fun. I have been taking photographs of her whenever I have the time.
