Pingjiang's photography career

1983, after graduating from Pingjiang, he was assigned to work in Maxim's Restaurant with a monthly salary of more than 200 yuan, while his father, who had worked for 40 years, was only in his early 100. It is easy to imagine how high-spirited a young man who made a lot of money at the beginning of his work was and his relationship with photography was established in this high spirit.

In the dining room, when Pingjiang saw others developing black and white film for the first time, he immediately became interested, and "the heart is not as good as action", and immediately people bought a Peacock 4A camera. In addition to street creations, there are activities to join in the fun. Now there is a very fashionable word called "play", no matter what occupation, plus the word "play" seems to be indescribable free and easy. In fact, like many early photographers, Pingjiang's earliest photography state is more suitable for the original intention of "playing". Because there was no need to think about what to shoot or why to shoot such a serious topic.

This state continued until 1986. After about 10 years, Pingjiang was relatively alienated from photography. First of all, the upsurge of diploma fever made him determined to resign. After reviewing for one year, he was admitted to the Law Department of China University of Political Science and Law, where he met his present wife. But after graduation, I didn't obey the distribution for various reasons. Without a job, but with a home, Pingjiang, who always knew nothing about money, realized that he had to make money.

This is so natural and logical. He pushed up his bike, bought dozens of Jin of noodles, and bought some juice from his friends in the restaurant. He went to the swimming pool to sell cold noodles for seven days. At that time, I earned more than 50 yuan a day, and I had no worries at that time. No matter Maxim 200 yuan's high salary, selling cold noodles in 50 yuan every day, or opening a restaurant later, he still lost 654.38+100,000 yuan in loans a year. At Pingjiang, he talked about this with the same calm and self-confidence, without any intention.

After running his own restaurant, the leisurely Pingjiang returned to the photography circle, because all his friends were engaged in landscape photography, and he naturally took pictures of the scenery. Bashang, which looks beautiful and difficult to shoot, has become a good place for him to train. At first, I was next to others. I took a good look, looked at it myself, and then thought about it. In silence, my understanding of nature is getting deeper and deeper, and my photos are getting more and more aura. He said that the feeling of scenery no longer simply comes from changing light and shadow, lines or colors, but a state of mind facing nature. "A world in a grain of sand, a heaven in a flower, whether it is a small tree or an ocean, when you face it, you will always get much more than what you see.
