Camera

 

Student: Lee Pak Ho

This is me. I am a photographer. It is my camera. Or you could say, it is a part of me.

I know, your first reaction is like, “What an old technology…” But actually, it is still having rapid development. You know, the CMOS sensor, the auto focus system, or the sharpness of the lens are continuously evolving. Camera in fact is a product of latest technology. So let’s get down to business, it is a story about the intimate interaction between me and my camera.

As mentioned, it is a part of me. It sees the world I see. It captures all the things I would love to memorialize. I can tell others my feelings via various settings on my camera. Faster shutter gives a freezing feeling. Slower shutter makes everything vivid and lifelike. Lower exposure makes everything dim and dull. Higher exposure makes everything energetic. Warmer color shows happiness and cooler color shows sadness. Camera can pretty much express all my emotions. If a single photo is not enough to do so, take another one.

In this photo, the camera covers all my face. People use mouth to speak words, but I use camera to tell stories.
