Gray Metaphors: Time, Chance, Photography and the Definitive Moment

Photography is a kind of concentration. It has the power to seal time and capture a certain moment from the flow of time. Although it is sometimes displayed in a subtle way, we cannot deny its amazing charm of reflecting the truth.

In photography, opportunity is inseparable from the moment, as Bresson said: "Among all forms of expression, photography alone can capture the moment. Moment, and the feature of capturing the moment has become the most unique symbol of the camera. A writer can write unconstrained style, and the order of time will not constitute any obstacle for the writer, but for the photographer, once the moment disappears, it disappeared forever."

It takes the rare oriental thinking as the starting point, and by explaining the essence and reason of photography, it is connected to the oriental Zen concept.
