Shandong summer vacation travel photographer

12 16, a film festival with the theme of "Maojia Village Time" was held in Maojia Village, Jinan, Shandong Province, featuring documentary photographer Ning. It took him 65,438+00 years to take more than 90,000 photos and record the changes of Maojia Village. After learning that the village was about to be demolished, he came up with the idea of holding a film screening and gave a photo album to the villagers. (This newspaper 19 February 65438)

"10 year" and "more than 90,000 photos", I would rather stick to ten years of documentary photography in Maojia Village. For him, this may just be his personal hobby, and he does not seek benefits. However, for the villagers and the whole society, these photos can best retain the memory of the villagers and record the changes of the times in the village.

More than 90,000 photos are the guardians of people's memories. 10 years, "roaring". In Ning's photos, I recorded every work, reunion and chat at the entrance of the village in the past ten years. When the villagers saw these photos, they recalled their life in 10. I think they were very happy then. Life without memories is too pale. Of course, most people will not lose their memory completely, but the past has left more or less shadows in people's brains. With the rapid development of the times and the increasing expansion of information, memory has gradually become the most precious thing in this era. We have been running and chasing, trying to catch up with the trend of the times, but occasionally we find that our brains are full of all kinds of miscellaneous and varied new things, but we almost forget all the bits and pieces of the past and can't remember them anymore. This is a great loss for us and the sorrow of this era. The villagers in Maojia Village are fortunate to have Ning, and 90,000 photos faithfully guard their memories. We need such documentary actions to keep our memories.

More than 90,000 photos are also a true record of the development of the times. From 20 10, Ning recorded the whole process of Maojia village's transformation from agricultural production mode to industrial production mode with documentary photography, and also recorded the development process of Maojia village's urbanization. People in Maojia Village have gradually changed from manual labor and manual excavation to machine labor. The infrastructure in the village has been gradually improved, the people's living standards have been gradually improved, and the old look has changed. Times are developing rapidly, life is changing with each passing day, and the pace of urbanization is always moving forward. It is of great significance to record every corner of life with photos and the changes of the great era with similar documentary methods.

? Time is the most precious thing in this era, and change is the most painful wound in this society. We never give up exploring the new world, but we often ignore the beauty along the way. Remember the first time you rode a bike? Remember the canteen you passed by every day when you were in primary school? Do you remember the toys you used to eat sorbet? We have gone so far that we forget why we started. ? Instead of looking for the beauty of the past in dreams, we should cherish the people in front of us and the flowers, grass, bricks, tiles and trees around us. Now will eventually become the past, and we can keep this beauty forever.

Protecting people's memories and recording the development of the times, we need people like Ning too much!
