For me, photography is to create infinite possibilities in a restrictive real environment.
Although it only captures a small fragment of the world in time, the image obtained has far-reaching significance, especially the symbolic symbols.
The images I selectively photographed are both symbols and indexes. In the visual psychology of the viewer, they arouse the impression of déjà vu, and in an instant, they are brought to the possible memory by the image.
I spend most of my time taking pictures, and teaching photography courses. Then I will use the computer to process the images at my home. If I want to print the photographic works, I will go to the studio to make adjustments, proofing output, and determine the most suitable image size for exhibitions and collections.
