Moscow impression sketch

Life is like a story, not how long it is, but how beautiful it is.

During my stay in Moscow, Nicholas and Badrit happened to be on vacation, so they acted as my guides in Moscow. Visiting Moscow with two Muscovites has really added a lot of new discoveries that are not easy to detect in ordinary sightseeing.

Nicholas is a person who especially likes to be surrounded by the spotlight. Knowing that I was a painting major, he gave me his precious SLR directly. So, I became his "cameraman".

Badrick often joked, "I think it's Nicole who is traveling, not you." Hearing this sentence, my heart trembled slightly. I don't know when to start filming these magnificent buildings.

I think, on the one hand, it may be because of the existence of retouching software. If you take a few photos with similar angles and light, you can get the effect later. On the other hand, it is a waste of time to dwell on those expressions and actions.

There are many roads, and the attitude towards those familiar scenery is more about the greatness of past civilization with a normal heart.

But what keeps me curious and balances my "camera indifference" is the life stories of these city people.

| City, city

Strolling down the street, the shutter of the camera keeps pressing with the high frequency of Moscow people.

Moscow people walk very fast and always have a cold face that makes people stay away from them. They are serious, indifferent and inaccessible.

You may say that this is a common problem in new york, London, Tokyo and other major cities in the world, but in my initial impression, Russia is a "kingdom of ice and snow", and this stereotype is deeply rooted, which deepens my understanding of Moscow people's indifference for no reason.

| "Xin Yang"

In the Ascension Hall of St. Vasily, in addition to the endless stream of tourists, it is also a place for clergy to preach. They are transformed into messengers of God, dressed in black robes, and actively help working people get rid of the pain of fate.

I don't have their strong religious beliefs, nor am I bound by the strict precepts of the so-called doctrine, but I do think people with religious beliefs are happier.

Because of the existence of faith, devout believers can always get self-consistent detachment and liberation after repentance. From the expression of relief on their faces, we can see that they have rediscovered the beauty and hope in life, and their mindfulness that they can still move on in the face of the thorns and obstacles of fate.

| "Walking in the afternoon"

On Sunday afternoon, it is pleasant to walk on Tver Street. There is lazy light music in the street bar, which is smart and gentle, and the mood gradually becomes calm and calm. I can't help feeling tender and gratified.

| "Wang Ning"

With a deeper understanding of the city, we will find that Muscovites, or Russians, are not as cold and serious as we remember.

Many times when I got lost in Vladivostok, I was driven home by enthusiastic people. On the banks of Lake Baikal, watch the footage of Russians and shamans offering sacrifices and dancing together; The scene of drinking vodka with Russians on the Siberian railway made me deeply realize that people here can be as warm and natural as the spring sunshine.

Wu Jun mentioned in The Light of Civilization, "We often attach importance to reading and breaking thousands of books. In fact, many times, it is more important to take Wan Li Road. " Indeed, there is a big gap between preconceived subjective assumptions and objective feelings after in-depth experience.

| "Learning"

Nicholas and Baddick will definitely take a book with them when they go out, but they have no intention of taking pictures. They just want to kill boring time when they are free or waiting.

I mentioned in my previous article "Slow Life on the Siberian Railway" that the annual reading of Russians ranks first in the world.

I remember once, Badrick said that he would go to the bookstore to buy books. I thought that according to his stomach, he would only buy some novels of three customs, or chicken soup articles like success. I didn't expect that they all took a few poems and literature, which surprised me. You know, Badric and Nikolai are just ordinary working-class people, and I can't help but respect them.

| "Listen, listen"

On sunny weekends, Muscovites don't stay at home. They will have a picnic in the suburbs, or take a walk in the park and listen to a street keyboard. This is an intoxicating thing.

When music lingers in the air, I forget the unpleasantness and irritability of a week's work, and my mood gradually becomes beautiful and peaceful. My mood is like a colorful gurgling stream, flowing quietly in this beautiful afternoon.

I often laugh at myself for being thick-skinned, but I am still slightly inferior to Barderik.

When I passed the pavilions museum, I found a girl who looked like Avril Ramona Lavigne sitting on a stone bench, and was about to light a cigarette. I knew it was a good opportunity to take a snapshot, and sure enough, the photo was very good, so I proudly showed it to Badrick. Unexpectedly, he suddenly ran to the girl with a camera, showed her my candid photos, and asked me if I could take more photos and send them to her when I got back. I really can't help but give him a thumbs-up with this skill of picking up girls.

Feel

After several days of tracking, I found that although the pixels of mobile phones have reached a high technical level, SLR can still make photographers flock to it.

I think the most important reason is that when you hold a heavy camera, you have a heavy sense of mission, which will drive you to record more fleeting things around you.

Think about what Luo Pang said. This world is not a world of rich people, not a world of powerful people, but a world of willing people. May you be a conscientious person with a pair of eyes to discover beauty, because the world is really beautiful.
