Does the script provide a point about doing the "right" thing? What is the "right" thing to do according to the script?

I believe the script does provide a point about doing the "right" thing, but in different ways. It shows us that people have many different views on many different topics and it's hard to decide what the "right" thing is. I believe the script tells us the "right" thing is what the person who's doing the action think's it is "right" or not, it might not be "right" or moral to others, but it's "right" to them.

How I Became a Photographer

       

          Throughout my life I've had many hobbies, but the ones that stuck with me are hiking, camping, and most importantly,  photography. I've always loved to go hiking, camping, and adventuring because of how beautiful mother nature is. I really wanted to capture every moment, but I didn't know how. Once in awhile I'd take a shot on my iPhone 6s, the quality was...okay... but not the best. I wanted something more, something that I would be able to look at and it would take me back there by just looking at the picture. That's when I decided to get a real camera. I first bought an old film camera and absolutely fell in love with it. After I got them developed, I noticed right away that I didn't know much about photography and using a manual lens, but some of them came out awesome!

          The pictures might seem a little grainy, but that's only because I transferred them from film/paper to a digital copy. After noticing how expensive it is to have my film developed, I decided to buy an actual mirrorless camera that allows me to take high quality photos. I bought a Sony Alpha 6000 because how compact the camera is and the quality it produces. Here are some pictures that I've taken with my new camera.

          These are some of the first photos I've taken with my camera, I'm absolutely in love with photography and I plan on pursuing this amazing hobby. I plan on taking you along with me on my adventures and describe them. I'll obviously post pictures of what I find!
