Everything in the world, from light and shadow to rain and shine, can be seen as a moving landscape painting. Even the most lethargic mind can hardly resist the allure of nature. When the urge strikes, we can’t help but reach for the camera to capture the beauty before us. The quality of the photo is secondary, as our aim is not to impress but to document that which belongs solely to ourselves — “my landscape.”
Photographers are magicians. They can freeze time and make the world black and white. Black and white, 0 and 1—this is the starting point of all magic.
I’ve only met these lovely people once, but when I do it’s fate and I’ll be sure to capture them on camera! The Buddha said that it took 500 years of looking back in a previous life to exchange for a brush of shoulders in this life. Isn’t that a lovely thought?
A photograph holds a power that a video cannot replicate. Time itself is relentless, slipping through our grasp, unpausable and unstoppable. While a video can pause, it is not time—it is merely an echo, a constructed shadow trying to mimic the flow of life. It can never truly capture the essence of a moment, only a reflection of its form.
In a world where time is precious, it feels impractical to expect anyone to devote themselves endlessly to watching videos. A photograph, by contrast, offers the gift of immediacy—a single glance can reveal a story, evoke emotion, and preserve the fleeting. This is why my heart leans toward photographs; they are timeless in their efficiency and profound in their simplicity.
If you don’t want to say something in words, you can always stick it on your body. And if you don’t want to express the meaning in words, you can use pictures instead. I often see people in the streets with slogans and drawings all over their bodies. With my camera, I took pictures of them, turned them into photos, and then posted them online with words. In a way, I am in the same category as him.
People always look for gaps, sunshine, romance, and live in the big net of life. It’s what flowers do.
The amazing thing about human body temperature is that it’s not set in stone. It’s constantly changing, and it’s all down to the opening and closing of the sweat glands. They’re working hard to keep us at a relatively balanced temperature! It’s the same with photography. The combination of aperture and shutter ultimately results in a relatively balanced image. It’s incredible how these two elements work together! Nowadays, I look at everything and it’s all the same thing with photography. Am I a little too obsessed with photography? Absolutely!
I think every woman is beautiful and moving. Of course, every woman is great because they will be known as mothers in the future.
I absolutely love the graininess of street photography! It makes me feel like I’m right there on the street, breathing in the wind and hearing the sound of a car horn. I love the grain; it’s one of my favorite things about street photography.
