It's interesting, about picture, the object you choose to take, reflect different thoughts.
During the Memorial weekend, Jiankun and I walked around Queens, and of course him as a professional pictorial teller, me with my new addiction, taking pictures was a major thing we did along the way. I had tasted some professional photographer's equipment by using his medium format Mamiya RZ67. Holding this heavy machine, scrolling the focus, changing the aperture, when everything is ready to go, that second when i press the shutter, that sound, the bright sound, have a such strong impact of capture that moment; i imagine the object is pressed on the negative, the moment is frozen.
Here are some picture taken by both of us, so different, yet so similar.
I stand by the gate, looking inside, everyone is narrowed in a such limited space.

At this same playground, Jiankun went all the way inside, and took this empty toy car, a sense of recalling the childhood, but in a such isolated perspective...

Same location, same time, but the object we chose were so different...
Anyhow, here is one more what we did, but coincidentally, it is so similar in a way,

This is why i like taking picture, it is full of adventures and surprises.
Two different exposure time during the dark room, which one do you like better?
