  Finally, I decided to do the urban landscape. I am always interested in researching landscape, last time I did a project focusing on still life landscape with a macro lens. For this project, I went to the city and chose some spots to shoot. For instance, East Village and Washington Park. I divided my pictures into several specific series. To make them look like poems, and sound like the musical.

  Some people may argue that urban constructions are not belonging to “landscape”, I just strongly disagree with that opinion. Life is colorful and it has a diverse definition. Those constructions are made by human beings, no matter they are landmarks or not. In that case, they have meanings inside them. Every time when I see urban landscapes, like the scrapers; It seems like I can read their historical background information through the design.

  One more thing, while I was using the lens to record urban landscape, I found some other funny stories I can tell as well, such as cute animals and natural narratives. In all, I believe the city has its life inside it, waiting for us to discover.

  1. To Autumn
      by John Keats J.
      1
      Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
      Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun,
      Conspiring with him how to load and bless
      With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
      To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
      And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
      To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
      With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
      And still more, later flowers for the bees,
      Until they think warm days will never cease,
      For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.
      2
      Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
      Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
      Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
      Thy hair sort-lifted by the winnowing wind;
      Or on a half-reap’d furrow sound asleep,
      Dows’d with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
      Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers.
      And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
      Steady thy laden head across a brook;
      Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
      Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.
      3
      Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
      Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,
      While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
      And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
      Then in a waiful choir the small gnats mourn
      Among the river sallows, borne aloft
      Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
      And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
      Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
      The red-breast whistles form a garden-croft;
      And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
