the complicated simplicity in earthquake-stricken area

When I was in Greece, 7.1-magnitude quake hits Qinghai Province, China. Just like two years ago parts of Sichuan Province were hit by a devastating earthquake, I was unable to do anything for  these people who lost their families. The above picture was taken by a photographer of cfp.cn, which moves me deeply. The quake zone is in chaos, rubble of houses makes the helpless woman and her baby so lonely.

The next photo shows that these kids are going to put their money in the donation box, they are disordered but have only one simple wish which is to help these people of disaster area to rebuild their home.  It’s so powerful because of  these kids are main characters, and the composition of the box and them is great.

I’ve seen lots of pictures about the quake. There are so many photos which contains complicated background, but I always can see the beautiful and simple wish from these photos. I am thinking about taking some videos or photos from the area.

a long journey in Greece

I was stuck in Greece because of the vocalnic explosion from its beginning.

The photo was taken in an island of Greece. I used very fast shutter speed to capture the sun and reflection on the sea. The details of reflection was captured clearly, I like the effect, looks simple but complicated in details.

I received the feedback from Andy, I shall post my reflection tomorrow, and I need to make an appointment for the tutorial that I missed last week.

pure fireworks&light

On New Year’s Eve I didn’t attend the exciting countdown at London Eye. But I took some photos of the fireworks which is out of focus, I really like the effect when we look at the world slightly out of focus. It became simple and pure.

DEFINITIONS.1.一.out of focus

I need more definitions about “simplicity”, to search it in my personal experience.

Yesterday, I went to an exhibition, when I waited for my friends, I took some photos what I think is simple.
