Remember that beautiful essay with a lens?

I don't know how people fixed those beautiful pictures and kept those valuable pictures as permanent records before cameras appeared.

In my shallow guess, it should be mainly words and paintings. Characters can inherit all civilizations and carry forward various cultures. Since Oracle Bone Inscriptions, our ancestors have learned to carve all the people or things worth recording on stones and bamboo slips, so as to warn future generations, inherit strength and expect those people or things carved to become memories in people's hearts.

After all, words are words. Without some colors, they are pale, and without some pictures, they are dull. Unlike painting, there are vivid patterns, colorful and gorgeous, with different outlines and vivid expressions. These are vivid enough to reproduce the old scene, very three-dimensional, very realistic.

It can be said that painting is the lock of the lens of the mind on specific things, and it is an amazing art form. Eight Horses in History, Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, etc. It is called a national treasure because a painting contains a lot of precious history and culture, and it is a rare national archive.

However, painting is an elegant, high-end and exquisite art, and not many people can achieve positive results. Therefore, the works in the hands of those masters who have achieved positive results have become fine works, famous products and palace treasures. Because they not only make history reappear, but also make people feel the beauty and charm of art.

If painting is to draw beauty at snail's speed, then the camera is to freeze beauty at the speed of light in an instant.

According to the survey, the German Leica camera first appeared in 19 13, which is the earliest 35mm camera in the world. There is no doubt that the advent of the camera is the progress of civilization and promotes the development of civilization. How many precious historical pictures enter the camera lens and freeze instantly; How many beautiful life scenes enter the camera lens and will be treasured forever; How many beautiful mountains and clear waters instantly enter the camera and approach; How many touching people and events entered the lens, warming the years.

Since I know that there is such an object as a camera in my life (it should still be very young), it sits on my heart tower like a god, which is my dream. In that era of material poverty, not to mention cameras, it was new stationery and extracurricular books. You have to weigh it before you dare to ask your parents for it. A few dollars a piece of new clothes is a luxury, only when the season changes every year. So the camera has been sleeping like a god in the deepest part of my heart, and I never thought I could wake it up.

Later, I worked by myself and made money. I thought there was a place at home that needed more money. Because of my mistakes, I always give up some selfish ideas again and again. But for the camera, I still love it inexplicably. Although I can't do it, I still hold that dream in my heart. How I wish I could freeze the grass in the wind by holding the lens in my hand and pressing it gently. How much I want to, secretly from behind, freeze my mother's bent back because of the load. How much I want to, quietly press the shutter and freeze the smile when my family reunites. I also want to keep a small flower clean in the rain.

20 1 1 year1October, my brother came back from the other side of the ocean to celebrate his father's birthday and gave me two gifts: a SLR Nikon camera and an Apple 4S mobile phone. The camera is an unexpected gift, which has been revealed before. The mobile phone is an unexpected gift, so it is a surprise.

I didn't know that this was the most advanced mobile phone in history, and I didn't know that the domestic market had not yet been listed. When I went to the mobile phone shop to shoot a film, I felt the high-end of this mobile phone from the surprised and envious eyes of the salesgirl, and guessed its preciousness from their whispers. In fact, I don't care much about whether it is expensive or high-end. What I care about is that when my brother gave me the mobile phone, he said that it has many advantages, especially the camera function, saying that the quality is high and the picture quality is beautiful, which is clearer and more beautiful than the photos taken by ordinary cameras.

Suddenly, I have a professional camera and a mobile phone that can take pictures. Wake up from years of dreams and gradually approach life. I can really take pictures if I want to. In daily life, it is impossible to carry a camera all the time. It's really inconvenient to carry such a big object with you. But cell phones are different. The mobile phone is a portable thing, small and light, and you can take it with you wherever you go.

Since I had this mobile phone, it has really brought many wonderful feelings to my life. The book says that taking photos often can change your mood and attitude. I think this statement is correct. Because you need to have a good mood whether you are shooting scenery or yourself. Only when you are in a good mood can the surrounding scenery be beautiful. And whenever I want to take pictures of those scenery, I will feel that they have beauty that I can't see at ordinary times, or that I haven't found at ordinary times. And when I enter the camera, I will try to make my smile easier, my limbs more stretched and my body and mind more free. Because only in this way can we feel that we are in harmony with the surrounding scenery, and we can make ourselves beautiful. Because everyone is willing to leave their most beautiful side when taking pictures.

Every time I take a walk and travel, I naturally take out my mobile phone and take every shot I want to take. He laughed at me for being unreasonable and boastful. I ignored him and went my own way, just talking big. What happened? Who did it?

Time flies so fast that you can't catch it. All beautiful pictures don't last forever. Only with the lens can we lock these beautiful women. I want to lock all the beautiful pictures with my lens. I want to record every journey of the years with the lens in my hand.

In my opinion, civilian photography is to record every bit of life. It can be the scenery, the characters, and the harmony between the characters and the scenery. What I know and what I don't know, I love and love me. If I make them beautiful and artistic, then as a photographer, I will feel full, happy and have a little sense of accomplishment.

Although these are very familiar scenes around us, every time we get close, we will find every time. I like the grass, trees, mountains and water under the blue sky and white clouds. I like a flower and a leaf, a bug and a bird in plants. Like the breeze between mountains and rivers, a free mortal. I want to keep those flowers, mountains and rivers from my perspective. There is a saying that the photographer's ability is to transform the fleeting ordinary things in daily life into immortal visual images. I'm not a photographer, I just like taking pictures. I just want to keep beautiful things with light and shadow, and find the beauty around me with my heart.

That year, my niece just turned five and always likes to take her out to play. Once I went climbing a mountain, it was the time when gardenia bloomed. I saw many gardenia trees near the farmhouse, covered with large and small flower buds, so I won't miss this opportunity. Gardenia has always been the love in my heart, and its elegance and fragrance have been planted in my emotions. Seeing the white flowers of tree after tree, it is fragrant both physically and mentally. I just want to take a photo with gardenia. He smokes and refuses to take my picture. Seeing the little girl in my camera, I had a brainwave and said to her, come on, aunt will teach you to take pictures, you can take pictures of me, and I can take pictures of you. Children nowadays, what clever children! What's more, the photo-taking procedure is so simple now, and in a few seconds, little people will learn it.

Since then, I have not only made countless films for my girl, but also locked her with a lively smile, leaving many pictures of her naughty games and recording her growth. She has also made many films for me. We take pictures all the way, even if we are only at home, when we are bored, we will treat every corner of our home as a landscape, taking pictures of different moods and leaving the happiness of the four seasons.

After taking pictures again and again, my little girl is already very interested in taking pictures and will use my Nikon. Sometimes, she will take the initiative to ask me for a mobile phone, and while walking, she will say, "Backlight, the effect is not good, I can't see clearly, I want to change my angle or something." It's a small model, well organized.

After the photo shoot, I will say, let me see your masterpiece, ok? Then tell her which works and which is good. Which one has a problem, how to pay attention. Little people are smart and always know everything. I think this will have a subtle influence on her growth and her aesthetics.

Actually, I'm not so complacent, I just like it. Just like these plain and elegant words, they are just expressed in different ways. Language has the advantage of language, and the lens has the advantage of lens, showing the beauty I want and the years I want to remember.

Beauty is never abstract. Beauty is associated with truth. Without truth, there is no beauty. Not all real things are beautiful, but they are the foundation of beauty. Beauty and goodness are also linked, and a good photographic work is always a combination of truth, goodness and beauty. There is no truly kind work, and there is no beauty. Without beauty, photographic works lose their artistic appeal. A child's mind is the truest, kindest, purest and most beautiful. His/her vision of the world must have a different kind of kindness and beauty. I just want to give my children a kind of growth in such a subtle way.

See how time flies, how time passes, and how the four seasons fall. There are so many things worth remembering in life. However, memory is limited, and sometimes memory needs a landing site. No matter how many years have passed, as long as we gently open it, all the feelings, warmth and even anger in the old days will be rearranged in front of our eyes, just like a movie tape, which should be a meaningful scene when the music unfolds gently with time.

A plant in a pile of stones, green, so eye-catching, so full, how can it not be moved? A bunch of small flowers in the weeds, so delicate and beautiful, so bright, how can they not be soft? A butterfly among flowers, its beautiful wings dancing, how can it not be moved? How can you be indifferent to your child's bright smiling face, exaggerated expression and winding appearance?

Quickly pick up the lens in your hand and leave the beauty of this scene. Every move you make will be moved by the years. Every move you make will become the warmth in the future. Every move you make is a good memory.

Those walking in the wind, those walking in the rain, those running in the sun are all unrepeatable pictures. You can only lock the lens. One after another is Qian Qian Que Song, which is a leisurely heart. Not only witnessed your years, but also passed them on to the children and became their classic memories.

Many photos I have taken will be interpreted and commented in a short paragraph, just like the photos of Zi and Meng Dad on the Internet, which are recorded one by one. Taking pictures is no longer a dream. Taking pictures is a hobby of many young people now. I don't know how many people were moved by the scenes of Meng Zi, and I don't know how many people regret not leaving some precious time scenes.

I'm not keen on printing pictures, I just want to condense all the ordinary warmth and beauty into one picture. In the years of drifting away, I left my initial touch. Years later, when I was white-haired, I could no longer walk around. When I miss a certain period of time, I can open the photo album, bask in the sun with the children and look at it one by one. There is a bright smile when I was young at the corner of my mouth, and my palms are full of vitality.

I know that I am a narcissist at best, and I can't make amazing works, let alone historical works. I'm just entertaining myself. I can't use the lens like a photographer, and present the great beauty of the world, the magnificence of the world and the touch of the world with a unique perspective and aesthetics, bringing people a different visual feast and even promoting the development of society.

I am just an ordinary person, even some vulgar people, doing what I like, and I can't shoot a work that eats bones and eats souls. What does it matter? With an ordinary lens and a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty, it is enough for me to remember the beauty in life. And I found that in the process of my continuous shooting, many ordinary landscapes, once in the lens, have the beauty outside the eyes and the warmth of the heart, which is perhaps the most meaningful thing in the lens.
