Do you use Leica ASPH lenses with film?
I have used a summmicron 35mm f/2 asph lens with film and it was sharp. But I use more vintage Leica lenses on film. In my photo library, about 80% of the films were shot with non-ASPH lenses. For a long time, I used the summilux 35 f/1.4 pre-asph. In fact it is very sharp…

Choose your favorite camera and take it with you anytime, anywhere
I think photography does not require a specific time or place, nor does it have to go to a scenic spot. Photography can be done anytime and anywhere. In the eyes of ordinary people, there is nothing new around them, and nothing seems worth recording. You have to go to strange places to find photos…

Water stains left on the film
I develop black and white films myself. Sometimes I do not strictly follow the development specifications, and there are always some water stains left on the negatives. Yes, daily life is as calm as water, but even a small stone can make it ripple. Life is always full of dangers, and even a drop of…

They think it’s too simple, anyone can take…

When I saw Henri Cartier-Bresson’s street photography album in a bookstore, I had to close the book and hide my face to prevent strangers from seeing how excited I was. It turns out that street photography…

out of focus film photography
The image doesn’t need fancy decoration, it just needs plain sunshine. I don’t throw away out-of-focus photos, especially film photography. The out-of-focus film gives you a hazy feeling and at the same time a touchable graininess. This is a certain sense of reality that digital cannot give you. The earth shows its hospitality with the…

I see the world through film photography
I still love film photography for what it is. The image is carved by light onto the solid material, just like our earth is carved by time. The layers of particles remind me of the appearance of the human world. However, in today’s digital age, in the eyes of ordinary people, those of us who…

street photography, beauty, reality
The difference between people may be that they make different choices when facing the same problem. In one thought, you made your choice and I made mine, then I became me and you became you. The difference between you and me arises from this thought. Street photography is what makes us different. Life is like…
