Photographer’s Note
Living in the city, i always think i should focus on the urban life.
but it seems not my style,
what is my style? no answer to me.
last Saturday, a party of City magazine was held
to celebrate its issuing in Beijing.
it was written that all the guests were warmly welcomed
to have a lunch together, time was at 2 P.M.
I just imagined it must have been a good meal to have.
for this reason, i could not miss it.
so i didnt have anything until 2 p.m the day.
a hungriness i was, eh!
the party was held in an elegant place,
where look like a super beer bar
with black ground and wite wall,
also could see the street scenes from the glass.
but i was so disappointed
for it was westen style party.
the lunch was just some drink, dried fruits, biscuits.
looking at the people, combine Chinese and foreigners,
talking, walking, drinking, smiling,
i thought to myself, maybe foreigners' luch just like this.
and i begin to happy for it was not chinese meal,
so that you didn't have to eat
according to the expession of the leaders...
That was also different culture
between the east and the west, i thought.
I sit at a nook here., where nobody would care about me,
just drinking the watermelon juice,
enjoy the photograph from the magazine.
heh, what a life!
but after the finished party, i rushed to a restaurant.
Another photo from the party.

WELCOME BACK!!!
And what a return: I love the avant-garde compo here stretched between the shadowy face on the right and the woman standing opposite. And that HUGE photo in the middle.
Brilliant, M, one of your best ever.
Into my FAVs!

Hello Mingfang! MUCH love your story, and looking at your shot after reading it, you poor hungry soul, it turns even more poignant. Superbly seen and wonderfully captured.
Nice to see you back again!
A big warm hello from Canada,

I like the composition you chose. Your note is really good too and goes well with the empty plates appearing on the photo. Really nice. Christophe

诶,茗芳,
我的兴趣就是在你的workshop那两张呢。
看起来,你们有了很好喝的东西。呵呵呵
这里你开始跟以前很不一样的。我没有知道你会
拍这种风景。好像是和homerhomer有一点点的共通点。
这就是很少共通点呢。
你对主题接近方法随着时间有变化了。
我不知道这一点怎么说好的。
过时间慢慢儿地知道我要说是什么吧。
到那一天,等一后儿吧!

Hi Mingfang. That watermelon juice looks like it was good... so good you needed 2!! :) Well, the photo looks better, I like how you have framed the large image with the 2 people, how the 2 people are so differently shown. Well done.

Brilliant photo. The 2 characters composed this way give the mood to the image along with the one on the screen. I like very much the tone of the color. Thanks for sharing. Alain -

Hi Mingfang,
很久不見了! 近來好嗎? :)
這張相片很有特色非常有創意,尤其是光暗效果和顔色對比. 可是我不太明白上面的東西是什麼...
WS也很不錯!
TFS,
卓軒.
