I am fascinated with old pictures. I don’t know if it is because I feel that black and white photography is becoming extinct, or if I simply value the art of its craftsmanship. What I do know is that I am driven by the anticipation of discovering if any of them still work. I enjoyed using cellphone to take the old style pictures. Differ by the uniqueness of their limitations in relation to shutter speed, focal length, depth of field, camera model and type of APP. I feel like the black and white pictures can exactly tell people what I want to say.

All aspects of a cellphone camera have an effect on the quality of a photograph in which aesthetically could be utilized as and advantage. And although cellphone cameras could never produce sharp images like a digital camera, it does not matter because strong photography is not dependent upon the camera used, but upon the photographer. So I’m still learning how to use cellphone camera to tell the stories.

Through the farther exploring of new media art, I find a way to give my picture a live. Which is creating an animation, it can combine a series of pictures together. And I think animation not only gives the picture alive, but also helps me to tell a story. Moreover, I can incorporate animation with soundtrack. And my pictures are specking now!
