A moment in time: Evolution of photos
China Daily | Updated: 2015-02-28 08:09
Taking a family photo used to be a big thing. In rural China, villagers had to wait for months for the arrival of a photographer, who traveled around a region with a bulky camera. The photo shows people in a village in Yutian, Hebei province, waiting for their turn to have their photo taken in 1984. Women and children looked at the photographer and his magic device with enthusiasm and curiosity. People in cities then were luckier, as there were usually photo studios with better setups and backgrounds. Still, it would have been unimaginable back then that individuals could take photos easily with slim cellphones anytime and anywhere.The photo shows people using their own devices to shoot photos at a temple fair in Beijing during this year's Spring Festival holiday.
