Making Instead Of Taking

I don't just take things as given, I try to make them into something that reflects my personal consciousness,my spirit.I try to find the poetry in the image. The magazine had it's own demands, and I don't always agree with the  editor's  taste, in fact, most of the time I don't. and that bothers them,even though they decides what goes in and what gets left out. I guess they know their readership, but I wish they would take a few more chance now and then. I tell them that, and it bothers them.

我并不只是照着实物原本的样子去拍，我尽力地去把他们变成一种能够反应我个人意识和精神的一种东西，我尝试着在形象中找到诗。杂志有它自己的要求，我并不总是认同编辑们的口味，实际上，大部分时间我都不认同，这使他们很烦恼，不过他们决定着哪些应该被选用，哪些应该被抛弃。我猜他们了解他们的读者，但是我希望他们有时可以冒一点风险。我对他们说了我的想法，这惹得他们很不高兴。
