You take me, I take my camera, let me take your picture.

Like, because of dependence, because of inseparable, so insist, so accompany.

When I often get together with old friends, I am asked when I began to love photography, why I always like photography, and as always.

I can answer the first question, but I just want to give a suitable time. I probably started to like photography in my sophomore year. But the second question ... I never seem to seriously consider it.

Speaking of it, I have a lot of fate with the camera.

When I was less than one year old, my mother left me for Hong Kong. When she came back, she took a yellow camera. The camera was still playing film.

1994, the camera is still a rarity. It is because of the camera my mother brought back that I can now see myself when I was two or three years old, and I have left many pictures of my life in those days.

Then the yellow camera slowly stopped working. With the popularity of mobile phone, it finally became my toy. I couldn't find it later.

But a few years ago, I saw the flash of Xiao Huang's camera somewhere at home, and then I never saw any part of it again.

When I was in junior high school, I lived in my uncle's house, and my uncle opened a photo studio. In 2005, film cameras still dominated the world.

I remember that rows of films were neatly placed in the glass cabinet in my uncle's shop. The most popular films at that time were probably Kodak and Fuji.

I often see all kinds of people taking pictures, and then my uncle will develop black and white photos in the dark room in the afternoon or evening. Sitting on the edge of a darkroom, I often smell a potion.

Later, I went to high school. Out of curiosity, I also learned the principle of developing film photos in darkroom. The principle is a bit complicated, so I won't go into details here.

Later, I really came into contact with cameras and photography when I was a sophomore.

At first, Sony phones always took many colorful photos, so I often wanted to go out and take many flowers and plants.

Clap clap, I always feel that the camera of the mobile phone is not enough. At that time, I thought I needed a camera.

After a whole semester, I finally had the money to buy my first camera, my Pentax micro-order.

It is black and white, which is different from many Volkswagen pure black SLR. It's beautiful. I like it, too.

But it's not as good as I thought. I haven't even heard of many camera parameters and technical terms. I always took it out at first, and then I took a lot of photos, which were not satisfactory.

I began to reject taking pictures. I can't even concentrate. I blamed it, but I forgot that I didn't know it.

Next semester, we have an elective course in photography. I can learn a lot of basic skills of using a camera in class, and I began to think of my little Pentax in the closet.

Coincidentally, there are some photo books on the desk of Senior Pony in the laboratory. There seems to be "New York Institute of Photography Course". Although I didn't know it was a very practical and professional photography textbook at that time, I borrowed it and read it again.

From then on, I will often go to the school library to borrow books about photography. While learning theory, I practiced with my camera, so I began to get on the right track.

The first year of my senior year was the year when my photography skills improved the fastest. Often studying with amateurs or professional photographers, I began to find my original love for photography.

After graduation, I decided to stay in Suzhou. But most of my classmates and friends parted ways.

Everyone is busy with their work, even running their own family.

Everyone becomes busy and lonely.

Because of the forced change of lifestyle, I began to form the habit of setting aside one day a week to practice photography.

At first, I took more photos for photography, eager to take better photos.

But it often backfires.

Work began to get busy, and the pressure followed.

But I still stick to the habit of shooting every week.

But the mentality is different from the past, and it is no longer for shooting.

I began to find that many photos were integrated into the joys and sorrows I took.

In different moods and moods, the shooting angle and attention to details are different.

So, whether I am happy or unhappy, I will want to take pictures.

Then, I often sit alone with my little Pentax in Dushu Lake, Jinji Lake or stroll around the campus in the four seasons, holding my camera and lighting it.

That seems to be a way for me to vent my emotions or express my feelings.

Gradually, I can't live without it. At least it can make me forget my troubles for a while and concentrate on one thing.

Yes, I think I rely on photography, a little thing in life, so I like it. I can stick to this hobby day after day.

Actually, I appreciate it, too. When I am happy or unhappy, it always accompanies me the most.

Many friends told me that I must stick to this hobby of photography. Maybe one day, it will bring me unprecedented energy.

So, you take me, I take my camera, let me take your picture.
