For me taking pictures means passion, devotion, excitement and at least the ambition for perfection. But it does also bore me to death…when only thinking about taking a picture of a building or a thing just because I was there. This is why I often leave my camera in the bag just because I do not see a message or a unique beauty in the picture. If I want to see a picture of the ‘Hall of Supreme Harmony’ for example which is one of the many halls and gates of the Forbidden City than I better go to google picture search instead of taking a picture of the building in harsh sunlight surrounded by thousands of tourists. On the other hand if I do not take this picture I will definitely miss a part of the story when showing the photos to my family and friends. It’s an ambivalent situation…
