Personal Memories with My iPhone 3

Having the iPhone 3 as my first phone was more than just owning a device—it was about experiencing the joy of mobile gaming for the first time! As a kid, I spent countless hours playing Cut the Rope, guiding the cute green creature as it ate candy.These games, along with many other apps, were a big part of why the iPhone 3 was special to me.

One of my earliest memories with the iPhone 3 was taking a picture of my bedroom. It wasn’t just any room—it was my safe space, filled with all the things that represented me at the time. Capturing it with my first phone was such a meaningful experience. I remember feeling so excited to hold a device that could store memories with just a tap. This photo became my introduction to the world of photography, making me realize how powerful it was to capture moments and relive them anytime I wanted.

One of the first photos I took that wasn't just about capturing objects but about beauty and moments. I remember being at a restaurant with my family, and when I saw this rose on the table, I had the urge to freeze the moment. This photo still brings back fond memories of that day and sparked my love for taking photos of small details that tell a bigger story
