1. Although I love describing scenes, I also love photographing people. But when it comes to scenery, I can’t lift my camera. Occasionally I took photos, but they were all half-defeating. The majesty of nature is framed in the image, and the momentum is completely lost. When photographing people, I can always express them with more temperament and depth. Nature is a perfect existence, and people can only destroy it but cannot add points to it; and people are full of shortcomings, and there are many ways to add points to it. Photographing landscapes makes me know my shortcomings; photographing people makes me carefully observe what makes others better than me. ——Ruan Yi Zhong

2. If you are afraid of something, but you still have to do it, that is bravery. ——Neil Gaiman, "Coraline"

3. Young people are in a state of intoxication for a long time, because youth is sweet and growing. ——Aristotle

4. Photography is a small daily job, but it should be done with enthusiasm and curiosity. In order to nourish it, certain ties to the place of residence must be severed. Because these associations are often the source of stereotypes. Once there is prejudice, it is difficult to see clearly: so children see most clearly; so illiterate people remember everything they have seen clearly. ——Marc Riboud

5. If the vitality of youth has disappeared and the curiosity to advance has faded, life will be meaningless. ——Mueller

6. No matter what everyone in the world says, I think my feelings are correct. No matter what others think, I will never disrupt my own rhythm. You can stick to things you like, but things you don't like won't last long. ——Haruki Murakami

7. The art world is currently eager for quick success and material supremacy. It is impossible to change the situation with education. There are ways to resist: silence, slowness, and solitude. ——Duchamp

8. I don’t reject digital cameras, but it’s a pity that most people have changed their attitude towards shooting due to the adoption of digital. Digital doesn’t require material fees, so photographers shoot fast to be safe. It was obvious that just two photos would be enough, but instead I took 200 photos. I was dazzled when choosing photos, and the more I chose, the worse it became. Whether you are using a traditional or digital camera, you must maintain the right attitude: stare intently and pay full attention.

Press the shutter button carefully, not with your hands. When taking photos with this attitude, you don’t have to worry about choosing photos at all. The best images will naturally jump out and wink at you like they are alive. —— Ruan Yi Zhong

9. Young men and women always have their own brilliance even in sorrow. ——Hugo

10. We must restrain our emotions and not be troubled by them. Bad emotions will only hinder our learning or career development. This is also a step to understand ourselves. . ——Bruce Lee

11. If you decide to go, the most difficult part of the trip is over.

So, let’s go! ——Tony and Maureen Wheeler
