1. What are the poems that "describe photographers"?
Just ancient poems.
After all, the camera was only invented a few years ago. So I recommend some famous quotes about photography.
Every photo is a specimen of time. ————The realm of Anonymous Photography, those of you who can only play with equipment will not understand at all - what Edison Chen calls "***" is to capture the "helplessness" and capture the "moment" when two people are alone.
——Nobuyoshi Araki's "Walking in Tokyo" Look at the river, the cherry blossoms are crying, and the little tears reflect the river. ——Nobuyoshi Araki, "Walking in Tokyo" However, the so-called walking is just the accumulation of chance encounters.
——Nobuyoshi Araki's "Walking in Tokyo" takes photos like a novel and writes the novel like a photo. ——Nobuyoshi Araki, "Walking in Tokyo" There is nothing particularly complicated in the world. As long as you master the correct method, everything becomes simple, and the so-called trick is to do simple things to the extreme.
——Li Tao's "Master's Road to Digital Photography Post-production" Shoot because of emotion, and don't deliberately pursue images that have nothing to do with you. Even if the image is perfect, it will be empty—— Anonymous When you don’t take becoming a professional photographer as the purpose of shooting, you will often take better pictures than professional photographers - Anonymous Today, when cameras are so popular, more people are willing to shoot freely and keep pressing Release the shutter. If you can always find *** from such repetitions, I am very happy for you, because happiness comes so easily - an anonymous painter will not paint superfluous things in his paintings - The Caravaggio frame is friendly to painters. Without it, painters would not be able to start painting when facing the world.
For photographers, the frame is a confinement for you, and you must make choices about the world based on it. And what is left behind is always the big, and what is left can only be the small.
The world is a river flowing in time. Only photography can stop the world for a moment in multiple dimensions. By pressing the shutter, you tell the world what you focus on, and what a person focuses on is not just related to photography.
When you know what "frame" is, it is no longer difficult to determine how to "frame" it. Moving this "box" from your own perspective and building a subjective world that belongs only to you in it has advantages and disadvantages in technology, but not in consciousness.
For photography, you can put a lot of effort into both aspects, and you will gain something if you focus on either one. If you combine both, you will be a master.
Your film is not dazzling because of your dazzling camera, but because of your dazzling life! It’s not just travel pictures and good-looking recipes that are useful photos. In fact, really good pictures bring you a feeling. When you are no longer obsessed with meeting the world's standards, you are a photography enthusiast. Otherwise, you are just a person working for a camera manufacturer.
So how can you establish your own image standards? If the content of the photo is touching, it is enough for you to take it clearly. Photography is a game of learning to give up. Just like your life, the reason why the choice is painful is not because you know what you are getting, but because You know that when you get this thing, you need to give up other more things. 6 As the most important part of young memories, love and travel are the two most enjoyable topics to recall. Become a traveler as soon as possible, let yourself leave those places where we feel safe, and move forward into the unknown.
New worlds often appear first in travelers' sight. They set out with the courage to travel one-way, just to discover a new world. You will see the tombstones of the victims wherever you pass, but so what? Is it happiness to die at home? The outstanding thing about photography is that it provides us with a simpler and more convenient way to express our inner feelings than literature, movies, paintings, music, and poetry.
Skills must serve the point of view. This is at least the basis of my personal thinking about photography. If you want to understand this vividly, you can carefully study the works of Ander Kertesz, and then compare them with the works of Bresson.
First of all, you will see a lot of similarities. Secondly, you will find that the scenes and moments in the former’s works have greater practical significance than the latter. Compared with the former, many of Bresson’s pictures would have been different if they were not pressed at the exact time. If you lower the shutter, it becomes meaningless. I never worry that my photos are not good enough, because this is my attitude towards life. If I were a person accustomed to a comfortable life, I would not see the sharpness of social critics in my photos.
I am not worried that my shooting skills are not so good. When one day I feel that I need to improve my skills in order to perfectly present my point of view, I believe that I will naturally find a way that suits me. What I want to say is: when you focus more on the shooting content itself, what shooting skills you need to learn is no longer a problem.
If you want to ask me how to choose photography equipment, this is the only answer I can give you. 2. Urgent need for essay abstracts about Chinese and Western weddings
The May 4th Movement in 1919 completely broke with feudal tradition. In addition to overthrowing the Confucius family shop, abolishing the imperial examination, establishing schools, abolishing classical Chinese, promoting vernacular, etc. In addition, there is an extremely important revolution, which is the elimination of arranged marriages dictated by parents and matchmakers.
Promoting free love and independent marriage is reflected in weddings, which is the implementation of "civilized marriage." The so-called civilized marriage means abandoning the old-fashioned wedding ceremony in which the bride wears a red headscarf, sits in a sedan chair, and worships heaven and earth, etc., and replaces it with a Western wedding dress in which the bride wears a wedding dress and the groom wears a suit (or alternatively, a Chinese tunic suit or a long mandarin jacket).
This kind of Western-style civilized marriage is incomplete. For example, Western-style weddings must be held in churches, and must be witnessed and baptized by a priest, etc., which Chinese people cannot adopt. Japan is different. Japan's Meiji Restoration was based on learning from the West in all aspects, including weddings, but it incorporated the new without abandoning the old, and was eclectic.
A Western-style wedding must be held in a church, with the priest witnessing the marriage and baptism, followed by a wedding party, etc. After the ceremony, the groom takes off his suit and puts on a traditional dress, and the bride takes off her wedding dress and puts on a traditional kimono. All etiquette is performed in the traditional way.
It can be called "one ceremony, two systems" in imitation of "one country, two systems", and the two sets of weddings are held in an old-fashioned way. Japan embraces the new without abandoning the old, and of course this is not limited to weddings, but also applies to other aspects. Unlike China, the old and the new are always incompatible, thus destroying many fine traditions that should not be destroyed. It is difficult to discuss them here.
China’s old and new weddings are incompatible. Either a new style wedding or an old-style wedding is adopted. There is no room for compromise and it is up to the parties to choose. At the beginning, new-style weddings were in the minority, and later gradually replaced the old-style weddings. However, in remote rural areas, old-style weddings are still preserved.
My eldest brother was a normal graduate in the 1920s. He attended a private school when he was a child. He was under the impact of the "May Fourth" trend and accepted new things quickly, so when he got married We chose a new-style wedding, wearing a robe and a hat. The bride covered herself in a wedding dress and took wedding photos. At that time, choosing a new-style wedding was a bit shocking, because the concept of "receiving, accepting, and not being intimate" between men and women was still very strong. Therefore, after the eldest brother got married, when the couple went out on the street, the eldest brother walked in front, and the sister-in-law followed behind. The two did not dare to walk side by side. Walking, let alone walking arm in arm.
Even Shanghainese at that time couldn't stand Westerners walking hand in hand, calling them "hanging arms", which was a contemptuous term. When my second brother got married, perhaps because of my parents’ incomprehension, my second brother’s wedding reverted to an old-fashioned wedding, including the impressive “sitting banquet” ceremony.
The so-called "sitting banquet" is the core part of traditional folk weddings. The content of traditional folk weddings is very complicated and detailed, and can best be described as "red tapestry". To explain the feast, we have to give a comprehensive and concise explanation.
In traditional society, men and women do not know each other and lack opportunities for communication. Therefore, the marriage process is all introduced and operated by professional middlemen ~ matchmakers. First, the matchmaker gives the woman's birthday horoscope to the man. The man asks a fortune teller to tell the fortune to see if the woman is incompatible with the man. If so, he will give up.
If there is no conflict, it is called "good harmony", and the idiom "hundred years of good harmony" is the origin of this.
Then write the man's birthday and birth date, and the matchmaker will go back and forth between the two parties to discuss the amount of the bride price and dowry. After agreeing on the bride price, the man will send corresponding gifts to the woman, and the so-called "Xiao Ding" (called Nacai in ancient times) will be carried out.
After the small wedding, the two parties discuss the date of the "big wedding". The man chooses an "auspicious day" for the big wedding date. Once the woman agrees, the marriage is considered to be finalized. The gifts in Dading are much richer than those in Small Ding. After the woman receives the gifts from Dading, she distributes part of them to relatives, called "wedding cakes" (because they contain sweets and sugar cakes).
Relatives and friends who receive the wedding cake must participate in the "bridal party" when the woman gets married. On the eve of the wedding, the man will ask someone to decorate the bridal chamber. On the auspicious day, the woman's family will serve wedding wine at noon and entertain the female family members and the bride-to-be.
The groom and his party went to the bride’s house to welcome the bride. The sedan stopped in front of the bride’s hall. At this time, drums were playing (a professional “blow troupe” was hired to play the drums) and firecrackers were noisy. Although the bride had finished dressing up , they have to delay time again and again, refusing to get on the sedan chair, until the sunset, the mother and daughter have to "cry for marriage" and then get on the sedan chair. Crying in marriage is not a formality. The mother has worked hard for more than ten years to raise her daughter. Once she and her daughter have to part ways and no longer live together, this kind of emotional inseparability is inseparable. Not to mention the mother and daughter are sad and crying. .
Even others will feel sad. When a man gets married, he will serve "three banquets of wine". The night before the wedding, the "final wine" (also known as smoked sedan wine) will be served to entertain relatives and friends.
On the night when the bride comes to the bride’s house, there will be “sitting wine”, and the next day, there will be “exit wine”. Drinking at the banquet and drinking outside the hall must be "positioned", and the positioning must be accompanied by dance and music.
On the first day, the bride sat on the flower bridge to cross the door, accompanied by two bridesmaids (now the bridesmaids). The bride and the bridesmaids performed a series of dance movements, accompanied by "little ancient field" and "little open door". " and other music, these dance movements are related to the details and rules of daily life, and the bride must deal with them skillfully. After the dance, the banquet was laid out, the bride sat at the head of the table, accompanied by her aunt, and the three relatives and guests took their seats in turn.
On the day after the bride passes the wedding, before the luncheon, the wine is served to mark the occasion. The bride has to take off her new makeup such as beaded crown, python robe, hijab, etc., and wear a blouse, long skirt, etc. to show that she is going out to sit with her aunt (mother-in-law) and guests and friends as the host.
The ceremony director sang the wedding program, the mother-in-law performed the family ceremony and handed the keys to the daughter-in-law. The ceremony was very grand. In this process, the content of the positioning dance is the same as that danced by the companion.
In order to win praise, the bride must study these dance moves carefully before getting married, because guests often compare the bride's moves with those of her companions to avoid being dwarfed by them. The bride's excellent dancing posture brought a lot of applause, which was the highlight of the entire positioning.
After the dance, the feast begins. At this time, the bride changed her seat and toasted to the guests one by one.
This ancient wedding in Wenzhou is said to come from the "wedding" in "Family Rites" written by Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty. Meeting the wife's parents and other seven items. Zhu Xi's "wedding" was later ordered by Ming Taizu (the first year of Hongwu, 1368): "Every marriage must be held according to family etiquette."
It was then promoted and passed down. At first, it was limited to the families of officials, but later it was gradually extended to the people.
Back to the feast that my second brother practiced when he got married. At that time.
