Some people are born with interest in photography, while others are acquired. It is natural to love photography. When I was a child, because my eldest brother was the political section chief in the army, I often brought some newspapers and periodicals home. So I like reading People's Pictorial and People's Liberation Army Pictorial. I yearn for the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland and envy photographers that they can go anywhere in the world. That kind of unrestrained life, unspeakable sublimity, has always been my dream. This kind of intuitive, vivid and infectious photography art, unique light and shadow rhythm and unpredictable colors make me move. Photography has broadened my horizons, let me see more things that I usually want to see but it is difficult to see, opened up one visual space after another, learned about society and tasted life. Therefore, every weekend or holiday, I always set off with my backpack and vest, escape from the noisy city, bid farewell to the unchanging days, go where I want to go and record my colorful life; At that time, you can stay away from the joys and sorrows of the small circle, see the rivers flowing in the east of Dahe River and the peony blooming proudly, and appreciate the smile of the giant Buddha in Longmen Road. ...
Life is a book, and people who don't take pictures can only see one page of it. I remember a time when my living space was pure, and there were only three places to go every day: office, jurisdiction and warm home. As for the ideological space, I hope to explore it indefinitely, because for photographers, the ideological space is the best environment for photography to survive and continue. Because of this, some people describe photography as tangible poetry and poetic painting. Madame Curie said that everyone's life is not easy. Indeed, no matter whether it is a genius or a mortal, there will be beautiful scenery surrounded by flowers and spring breeze, and there will be thorns everywhere and sorrow at a loss; There are smooth sailing, smooth sailing, and unpredictable and difficult. Sunshine avenue can only be a period of time on the long road of life. More often, we have all gone through rough roads.
If we compare the history of reform and opening up in new China, my footprints may be remarkable: college students in the early 1980 s; In the early 1990s, inland high-tech industrial development zones competed for middle-level cadres, directors of industrial and commercial bureaus in larger cities, editors of series of reference books, stationmaster of a newspaper reporter station and so on. However, when I decided to become a photographer, all my professions became insignificant, and I even had a good cheer in my heart. I hope I can switch freely between real space and light and shadow instantly, although such a switch is full of pain. "Living in a familiar environment is equivalent to reading only one page of a book. If you go out to see the world, it is equivalent to reading all the contents of a book. " On the road, when there is no moving reference, everyone will feel bored. When the journey is long, anyone will lose confidence. People's life, to put it bluntly, is trying to find ways to realize their own values. When I can't shoot a good photographic work and don't know how to evaluate a work, I find myself too busy and neglect too much knowledge accumulation, just like when a disease strikes, I seem to have time to think about life-related topics. Need to learn to breathe fresh air systematically; You need green, yellow and blue to moisten your eyes; You need to climb to the top of the mountain and shout "I want to charge".
There are two conclusions when taking the road of photography: photography is easy and photography is difficult. Indeed, it is easy to learn, because it is done by pressing the shutter with the help of technology and modern equipment; However, it is too difficult to take a satisfactory photo-because photography skills are on the one hand, and more importantly, the photographer's own cultural literacy, understanding of the objective world and ability to examine beauty. In view of this, serious and pursuing photographers will aspire to a higher realm-exploring the perfection of photography art.
(2) "I am still young and eager to get on the road."
I am a curious person about life: fearless and determined; The fascination with photography transcends one's own life; Dare to challenge hardships; The state of photography life is always on the road; Sure, photographic equipment, notebooks, and transportation? Quot red vest ",has become a personal belongings; The only drawback is that it is too difficult to take good photos. Long-term photography practice, so that we have tasted the ups and downs, experienced thousands of difficulties and dangers. Made countless films. There are many photos, including published picture books and published works, which look pale and weak with the passage of time, and some even become waste films, but few photos are really vital and valuable. All these show that we should pay attention to the tempering of basic photography skills and strengthen the further study of technology, skills, literature, art and theoretical literacy. Photography for further study is just in line with this. Therefore, I chose Beijing Photography Correspondence College jointly sponsored by China Photographers Association and Beijing Municipal Education Commission, and I was fortunate to be the first student of China Photography Correspondence College after its name change. Beijing Photography Correspondence College helped me find the road to success. Acquaintance is fate. Common preferences and longings, hopes and persistence have brought photographers back to the classroom in China. When I joined Beijing Photography Correspondence College, I had formed a beautiful landscape with previous students before I had time to savor it.
Many students and teachers from different industries and regions entered Beijing Photography Correspondence College for the belief of photography. Here, you can systematically study the photography textbooks of the New York Institute of Photography. Can communicate face to face with photographers inside and outside the province; You can practice under the guidance of the teacher and teach by example; You can look at each other's works and learn from each other's strengths; It can be said that correspondence and face-to-face instruction are combined, and theory and practice are combined, which is both popular and professional. Every internship photo is a happy moment. After studying in Beijing Photography Correspondence College, I have more opportunities to go out, sometimes by correspondence, sometimes by internship, and sometimes by myself. But as long as I am on the road, I will feel the feeling of "photographer on the road" with my heart. Give up a stable and comfortable life for a while, be a free man with doubts in class, and use the third eye to record the people around you, the things around you and the living environment. Although photography can't change the environment, it can at least improve the mood; Although photography can't change life, it can at least change the world view.
Sometimes under the aliases of Red Shield, Independent Cold Autumn, Farewell to Cambridge, West Wind last night, etc. I visited Luoyang Information Port Photography Online, Kaifeng Song Yun Forum Light and Shadow Moment, Henan Dahe.com, Dahe Forum Light and Shadow Gallery, Henan Photography Network, Color Shadow Wuji, Hummingbird, China Photography Online, China Photographers Association Network, etc., and kept trying to post and accept suggestions from netizens. Actively participate in photography competitions such as "Disabled People in the Embrace of the Motherland" and "Spring Bud Cup for Chinese Children" organized by China Photographers Association. Whether you win or not, it is important to participate; Both criticism and encouragement have become my motivation to move forward! I really like the words "photographer on the road" in my heart. It represents a state of life, a kind of psychological emotion, reminiscent of words such as suffering, happiness, walking and swaying, and it feels very vivid.
Sometimes I feel good about myself and think that I have advanced to a very high level: entering Beijing Photography Correspondence College for further study shows that my goal is to improve my photography skills, break away from the "typical amateur level" and join the ranks of high-level serious amateur or professional photographers. I think I'm a student of Beijing Photography Correspondence College, and I'm on my way. When further study in photography really becomes an indispensable part of a photographer's life, who can doubt that there will be no successful photographer in a few years? ! Photography learning, relationship ladder, and progress.
(3) "There is wind and rain on the road, which is even more unexpected. However, when I experienced all the hardships, I was the richest photographer in the world. "
The study and life of Beijing Photography Correspondence University is an important stop in my life journey. One thing that makes me most satisfied is that I often read the photography textbooks and classic photography works of the New York Institute of Photography in the Red Shield Bookstore alone, so that the free soul can wander in the free air. I have always believed that photographers on the road have extraordinary wisdom and courage. How many people walk on the road for their dreams? How many people are going to live? Is the joy of the former and the sadness of the latter a kind of beauty? When I met with further study on the road of photography, Correspondence University interpreted the old term-enrichment in that reasonable way.
On the road of photography, we should always stop consciously, update our knowledge, and leave a clear trace in this limited journey. It is the renewal of knowledge that creates meaning for the meaningless life journey, makes the survival of human beings and animals different, marks the tragic life with tragedy, and endows ordinary works with new ideas. Knowledge renewal is the best opportunity for the old self to communicate with the new self, which is quiet and far-reaching in the paradise of photography. Studying in Beijing Photography Correspondence College made me understand that updating knowledge is the best opportunity to make great strides. I like traveling with teachers and students. I can not only go out, please come in, but also catch up with my studies and help others. In the process of collective collection, you will not be lonely. A lonely soul can feel the feelings of teachers and students that can't be tasted in vanity fair, which will make you excited and enriched, and make your photography full of inspiration and life.
Photographers need communication and cooperation during their travels. Only through communication and cooperation can we appreciate the scenery along the way and enjoy the sacred happiness endowed by photography. You stand on the road and watch the scenery, but you don't know that you have become a scenery. When I become a photographer on the road, I know that as long as I have a dream in my heart, it is a kind of happiness to take pictures even for the sake of photography; Loneliness, helplessness, helplessness and even suffering will become independence, wisdom and strength after a long time. "There is wind and rain on the road, and there are more unexpected dangers. However, when I went through all the hardships, I was the richest photographer in the world? Quot "On the road" has become a state of my life, and cameras and diaries are the best luggage for me to accompany "on the road". I am intoxicated with nature, I find myself in my works, and I find the world is so beautiful with my eyes half closed. ...
