Haha, don't laugh, it was my photo shooting day.Because of my dark room class at ICP, i want to prepare enough negatives before class, so I chose my first project - Time Square at night.
YJ kindly joined me, and it was fun to have him with me.
Before meeting yj, i went to B&H, bought 4 rolls of film with different ISO, brought two different lens (28mm, and 90mm), and my new Holga camera, put into my backpack, wore the jacket, fully prepared, ready to go!
Time Square, night light makes me dizzy, a boy was shouting on the street, "Obama condom, Obama condom...", i looked at him, smiled and admired his enthusiasm, and i offered to take a picture of him, it was a good starting point for me.
After Time Square, we walked to Bryant park, I started to get really involved into the state of as a photographer. Every ordinary daily object became lovely; trash bags lining on the street, street light with trees of the green leaves, empty benches on the sidewalks...
One scene came up to my head, the movie Amator by Krzysztof Kieslowski where the main actor was obsessed with filming at one time, and when he fought his wife, he crossed his finger and trying to frame the leaving scene of his wife... and i guess it was me at that moment, hehe, totally obsessed with every single object i saw under of dizzy night light.
I guess no matter what the result is, my enthusiasm, energy was enough.
Isn't that all as an artist?!
Here are some my favorite pic taken by YJ, i have to say, he has a unique way of looking at the world, and he will be a great director someday.haha.
(And, of course, mine will come up soon...)
