Life under the perfect aerofoil
I've been taking strolls here every day to watch airplanes, take photos, and feel the roar of the wings. It is precisely because of the busy traffic we have vastly different types of people, and here I can capture with my camera a rich mosaic of human life.
Unlike most people who come to the West Lake Park to "chase" airplanes, I pay more attention to people's enthusiasm for airplanes and the stories behind it. I am more interested in the people against the backdrop of the airport, and try to establish a certain relationship or emotional attachment between the people and the plane through my photo composition.
One time when shooting an airplane landing, I suddenly found an old man standing up from a small chair and taking out a photo frame from his hop-pocket. The moment he fixed the landing plane into his photo frame, I couldn't help taking out my cellphone and pressing the shutter immediately. Upon asking, it turned out that the old man was holding a picture of his wife, and he came here to respect her last wish as she had never taken the plane in her lifetime.
