Photography is my hobby. I am a computer scientist and educator by profession, especially in the R&D of AI, algorithms and software solutions development. Unlike science and technology, photography belongs to the realm of art. The highest wisdom of human beings is manifested in the humanities field, not in the science and technology.  University colleges can train engineers, even scientists, but it is impossible to train a real artist. Photography is the art of subtraction, and the simpler the content of the work, the better. My motto and basic principles in my photography practice are reflected in the following famous quotes: 01 There is beauty in everything, but not everyone can discover it. ——Rodin 02 Photography is different from painting, the second you shoot is a creative moment, what you build and express is what life itself offers you, and you have to intuit when to press the shutter. The moment you press the shutter, that's what the photographer created, oh... yes, that moment! Once you miss it, it will cease to exist. ——Bresson 03 We are NOT taking pictures with a camera. What we bring into photography is the books we have read, the movies we have watched, the music we have heard, the roads we have traveled, the people we have loved, and the lives we have experienced. ——Ansel Adams, American photographer 04 Photography is not a simple recording, nor is it a complete reproduction of the reality of the nature in front of you, but an artistic creation. Use your own imagination and creativity to create imaginary images, use photographic equipment to express your ideas, and realize the sublimation of artistic creation. ——James, Australian landscape photographer
