The black and white photos may seem to simplify the world of colors into a monochromatic one . However deep within, the process from the brightness to the darkness refined through the portraits just reflects a tinge of simplicity, that is concise and efficient, compact and meaningful.....  

Nostalgia

I love to adopt this word and it's recurred in my expressions from time to time. Yes, it may sound a little melancholic, yet, it refers to a kind of reminiscence of the good old days and sweet home where my heart feels comfort. People say being nostalgic means one's getting old. Still,I'd stick dearly close to anything elegantly nostalgic since I'm aware that we're aging anyhow.

Tactile

This is a good word to describe something perceptible through the sense of touch. It well explains something veritably exquisite such as silk or velvet, or some prestigious quality wine and food. But deep in my aesthetic taste, it's best refered to stunning paintings or dynamic music so stirring to captivate my soul. As I'm recently translating a Nordic Artist Award texts, I found this word appeared so frequenly to elaborate remarkable works by artists.

Ego

This is an easy and short word to remember which distinguishes self from others. This word was rare to stand firm with its degree for ordinary people in Chinese history. However it's so crucial to each human being as one is living a life in the way others may not be in, in the light others may not see, in the characteristics others may not follow, so a constantly alter ego is so essential to look at the world as well as ourselves as an independent individual.

Conceptualization

This word abviously comes out from "concept" but develops into an uplifted meaning of achieving personal theory or ideology through certain process. It always depicts great minds of gerat people, a process of formulas of devoted scientists or artistry of accomplished performers. It may seems hard for those ordinary, but essential for progress    of each society.

Simplicity

I'd rather say it is a realm rather than a word. Simplicity dose not equal to a simple state of a thing, but is much more refined into a upgrade level as something so compact and concise, and is neatly and efficiently expressed that it can be a realm for all kinds of art and appreciation of things as I remember Francis Bacon's welll known saying: Simplicity is the soul of beauty.

Bliss

This is something hard to reach, but once in a while when we fall into such a complete happiness, we'd thank for hardships and painstaking process along the way to contrast such beautiful thing as it is. It's a kind of destination that hardly generates just for a singular human being, but rather than a great sharing for the entire human race when peace and love are everywhere in this planet.    

There was a man, a lonely man

Who lost his love through his indifference

A heart that cared that went unshared

Until it died within his silence

And solitare's the only game in town

And every road that takes him takes him down

And by himself it's easy to pretend

He'll never love again

And keeping himself he plays the game

Without her love it always ends the same

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing solitare

A little hope goes up in smoke

Just how it goes, goes without saying

There was a man, a lonely man

Who would command the hand he's  playing...

烈日下，天仍然是一片画笔无法企及的蔚蓝，空气是否真的如照片里那么透明纯净？

SARS, 禽流感, H1N1，紫外线...　只有把自己武装到牙齿了。　

ＧＤＰ发展指标，要靠我们不断攀升，我只有不断地往上爬，和云作伴．．．

在这蓝天白云下，你发誓把所有实话都告诉我了．．．

在这个热岛效应集中的城市，只有到高处，才能呼吸到一点比较清凉的空气
