Every Day is a Good Day No. 100 ~On the Occasion of the 100th Installment~
~The Lingering Echoes of Life~
There are also memories of words that have drawn me into the lingering echoes of life.
The many words carved into my heart sometimes come to mind like a revolving lantern,
and I am struck by their profound implications.
"A Time Capsule of Unfading Echoes"
It has been over a decade since I started photography, and I will soon be holding my club's 4th photo exhibition.
I feel that with each passing exhibition, my self-consciousness and obsession with the "display" have faded, but that does not mean my passion has cooled.
I believe it is because I have let go of the desire to be recognized by others,"the guidance of nature"beyond the viewfinder, and the accidental beauty of daily life,
and have reached a state of "freedom" and "maturity" where I am satisfied just by quietly witnessing andenjoying it myself.I have reached this state.
So why do I still exhibit at photo exhibitions? It is not to show off, but because I find true value in warmly sharing"the air that was there at that moment"with friends and strangers through the space, and enjoying the harmony.
Over the course of more than a decade, my approach to photography has changed from an"additive"approach aimed at masterpieces, to an"aesthetic of subtraction"that gazes at the essence of the unadorned everyday. My past works vividly revive the air and emotional movements of those times, serving as irreplaceable"time capsules of memory"that affirm my life's journey, and the camera I have used for many years has now become a part of my body.
The fact that my obsession with the "special festive day" of a photo exhibition has faded is proof that photography has melted into my "everyday life" itself. For the next ten years, I want to continue to look directly at the beloved world before me with even more transparent eyes, and quietly continue to weave the scenes of these fleeting, irreplaceable days through words and photographs.

It seems there are many things I've left behind in the life I've walked, which feels like a waste.
In the days that flow by, there are times when one must suddenly stop.
It is also nice to occasionally recall the memories of words that once captivated you and immerse yourself in their lingering resonance.
