    For what reason that black & white pics long been perceived as classics and pursuit by all
    the photographers? Is it because that the first photograph is colorless or life itself is colorless.
    Maybe it’s the other way around - life is too noisy and complicated whilst pureness like
    black & white is hard to find. Therefore, photographer like Jeff would rather pursuit the
    long-lost simple truth of life through the B&W photographs.

    Record the most authentic us and expose the simplest emotions in real life.

                                                  A huge ice-cold water body
                                                  covered the shallow sand
                                                  The last prayer heard by the sea
                                                  when you waked up
                                                  The foam

    I had been exciting when I  got the medieval camera yesterday and been thinking about what
    kind of film I will produce.I heard that those people who shot the film would make some big
    problems at the first time.I hoped I could do it well.Today, we went to a construction named
    "1933",it's an shambles building in the past.
    This is my first time to use the medieval camera,I could not command the light because of
    lacking of photometer.It was a manual mechine,i could do focusing hardly .Testing the light
    from many angles and metering by digital camera,I finished 12 films cautiously.Bought the
    tools with ptinting that film back home is eight o'clock.we ready to do printing process.Knowed
    the procedures about printing film and the watei's temperature should be kept at 20 degree,
    another important process was rolling the film must in darkness.Every process should be
    treated seriously cause of the subtle mistakes could effect the quality of film.I took much time
    in keeping the fixing solution and developing solution's temperature at 20 degree .After 5
    hours,we made it.Some overlap appeared,maybe due to rolling film.to my surprise,but there
    was no overexposure or underexposure situation.I have satisfied with that picture was a pair
    of feet,this picture full of space.
    To me,a beginner could get this result,i feel so happy.I loved the feeling of film, mist and old,
    even made people feel time to flow back,that feeling is all the time I searching for.
    This moment is very important to me——May 2th 01:30.
    I fell in love with film,it's my favorite.

    For me,photography has became a part of my life and no other hobbies can compare with.
    I love photography,consider the camera as my eyes to found the beauty of the world.I would
    like to keep the shuttle on road to capture those wonderful moments.In those old alleies,i had
    saw the true life:some old man with grey-haired basking in the sun quietly, the children running
    and playing inthe alley,the women washing clothes or cozing, and the men were playing cards
    with tobacco. Alleies were very long and deep,when the light besprinkled into,the alley would
    became mystery.Each lane composed with many bypathes and seemed  like a labyrinth.I found
    my  defect of photographying is inadequate command the beam.The beam was so strong and
    the alley was too dark,  it's difficult to me to take good photo in this environment.In outdoors,the
    beam changed fleetly,the photos we took would became cut-and-dry when we missed 
    the right occasion.My dream is empress my mind through the picture and the character could
    show their atman.Let the photos full of life,that is my pursue.

    -Jeff photo-

       By reason of interrupting photoing last weekend,I had a little warry about my
    camera technique.today is a sunny day,when we got to the Bund,there were
    lots of people there.In my mind,as long as visitors come to Shanghai,they all
    like to take photos in the Bund as commemorate for their journey.
    Many of my friends think that if you want to take actual photos,you need to go
    to some place which has history or old lanes.my opinions is as long as good at
    discovery,whether in city or people biside you,they can give you a lot of
    inspiration. For example,there was an old couple and they are very
    ordinary,but they support each other with hand and with smile in their face,this
    scene made us so touching.There is also a foreign tourist,he took the camera
    into the distance,we all thought that's a common movement,but his expression
    made the feeling lively.you must be infected when you watch him.
    When I contact photograph aboriginally,I laied stress on composition of a
    picture.artistic conception and motif.I tried my best to keep enough space in 
    the entire picture,so that pepole will have more of their own idea when they
    see it.I will insist on this opinion all the time.

    The wasteland, the overgrown weeds, the soft mud, the raised dust, the cloudy day and the overclouded rain. He said: “Give me your superciliousness and disdain.” I always know what you want. But , why still laughed. I’m so sorry about that. I know you are disappointed. With a black umbrella, I walk to the corner. There is nothing in my eyes. You took the camera with great earnestness and without umbrella. I think, you really love photographs, even fascinated. You see a broader world through the small lends. These photos are stirring. The raised hair, the moment I jump. The moment eyes closed, and the moment I inclined my head, all of these are framed.
    I love the photo that I run to the distance with high-heeled shoes in my hand. I appreciated that Jeff grab the moment. Every moment is the time never back.
    The photo is the best present for me.
    It's my second day, so truly.
    Thanks for my Jeff

    Is it possible to regard the enjoyment of music which we call art,
    as decidedly a higher type of pleasure than the smoking of a pipe,
    which we call material?

                                                                                     Life's Journey,

                                                                                     Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.

                                                                                     It is because we are different that each of us is special.

                                                                                     Do not set your goals by what other people deem important. 
                                                                                     Only you know what is best for you. 
                                                                                     Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart.
