Sé más específico: menciona una ocasión concreta o el tipo de fotos que te gustan o no. Mejora la gramática (por ejemplo “neither of buildings” → “nor of buildings”) y usa conectores como “but” o “however”.

× No, there are not tall buildings in my neighborhood.
✓ No, there are not any tall buildings in my neighborhood.
The sentence uses 'there are not' with a countable plural noun but is missing 'any' which is required in negative existentials in English; add 'any' for natural, grammatically correct negation ('there are not any' or 'there aren't any'). Suggestion: use 'There aren't any tall buildings in my neighborhood.'
× I live in the capital city of Uruguay, but the neighborhood is a residential one with uh, buildings of two or three blocks in height.
✓ I live in the capital city of Uruguay, but the neighborhood is residential, with buildings two or three storeys high.
The original phrasing is awkward rather than strictly ungrammatical; using 'is a residential one with' is wordy. Use 'is residential' and 'storeys high' (or 'stories high') for natural adjective use. This corrects adjective order and expression of height. Suggestion: simplify and use 'residential' and 'two or three storeys high.'
× Uh, although there is some uh, high rise building in the city.
✓ Uh, although there are some high-rise buildings in the city.
The subject refers to multiple buildings so the plural form 'there are' and plural noun 'buildings' are required. Also 'high-rise' should be hyphenated when used as a compound adjective before a noun. Suggestion: 'there are some high-rise buildings in the city.'
× In fact, I am not very interested in taking photos at all, uh, neither of buildings.
✓ In fact, I am not very interested in taking photos at all, not even of buildings.
'Neither of buildings' is incorrect. Use 'not even of' or 'nor of' after a negative to indicate exclusion. 'Not even of buildings' is natural in this context. Suggestion: '...not even of buildings.'
× When I visit some historical building with my my girlfriend, she takes photos, uh, from both and uh, share the moment.
✓ When I visit a historic building with my girlfriend, she takes photos of both of us and shares the moment.
Several issues: duplicate 'my', article choice ('a historic building' rather than 'some'), preposition 'of' not 'from' for photos 'of both of us', and verb agreement 'she shares' requires third-person singular 'shares'. Also use 'historic' for adjective. Suggestion: 'she takes photos of both of us and shares the moment.'
× Yes there is. I would like to visit Anfield Rd. which is the stadium of Liverpool Football Club in Liverpool.
✓ Yes, there is. I would like to visit Anfield Road, which is the stadium of Liverpool Football Club in Liverpool.
Add a comma after 'Yes' for natural speech punctuation. Abbreviating 'Road' as 'Rd.' is acceptable in writing but spelling it out 'Road' is clearer. Also include comma before the relative clause. No major grammatical error beyond punctuation. Suggestion: 'Yes, there is. I would like to visit Anfield Road, which is the stadium of Liverpool Football Club in Liverpool.'
× I am a big fan of Liverpool so it is a dream for me to to visit that place.
✓ I am a big fan of Liverpool, so it is a dream for me to visit that place.
There is a duplicated 'to to' which is a simple repetition error; remove the extra 'to'. Also add a comma before 'so' to join the clauses more clearly. Suggestion: '...so it is a dream for me to visit that place.'
