travel starts with photography

Chapter 216 1200 Photo

Inspiration sounds esoteric.

In fact, it was Chen Xing's desire to express himself.

And during this period of time, artists and writers can be said to be quick-witted and brilliant for a while, painters can complete works beyond their own abilities, and writers can write words that they can't even believe after the event.

Can this be explained?
Can't explain.

Inspiration is too precious for any creator.

That's why this woman got angry and fussed with a child. My old lady has been here for so long, and she finally got a feeling. She was interrupted by you when she was about to show off her talent. Damn it!

But the inspiration doesn't actually disappear, it just transfers from one person to another.

Chen Xing quickly took out a pen and paper to create a sketch first.

It is true that Chen Xing has only done one oil painting, and he is only a primary school student in the professional field of oil painting, but he has already completed many sketches. With Chen Xing's proficiency and hand speed, this sketch is fast and vivid.

Within 10 minutes, a simple draft was created.

The painter's manuscript doesn't care about the appearance, the key is that he can understand it.

This should be the biggest achievement of my coming out this time, and the system that had been pretending to be dead for a long time suddenly cheated the body.

New Skill: Defensive Conditioning (The previous chapter has been changed)

(Skill introduction: There will always be some crisis moments when traveling, and your body will automatically respond for you. After proficient use, there will be many magical effects.)
defensive?

Conditioned reflex?

I don't know why, but I seem to hear the sound of hammering iron...

Kailu is still teaching the little kid.

She recently rented the house of the boy's family, which is just behind the restaurant, and she felt that it was too troublesome to cook alone, so she ate in the restaurant every day, and had a good relationship with the boy and his family.

When chatting with the child's mother once, Kailu said that this trip was because she broke up with her ex-boyfriend, and then she wanted to find the terrestrial rainbow in Monet's painting.

So I came to Giverny to relax.

Terrestrial rainbow?

In the eyes of children, isn't that colorful oil painting just like the petals of various colors falling from the sky?They don't have much of anything here, but spend a lot?Isn't it easy to see a rainbow on the ground once?
So I planned this event on my own.

But it happened to interrupt Kailu's creative thinking.

When Chen Xing came over, the child had already been caught, and he was standing upright with a little aggrieved face.

"Did you do it on purpose!"

"It was on purpose!"

But obviously I have good intentions, the little boy thought to himself.

The whole town is full of people in pairs, and even he has many friends in school, but Kailu was lonely when he came here, and he went home every day by himself, so he gave birth to Want to help a bunch of thoughts.

After all, Kailu treated him well.

"Okay, you still did it on purpose!"

As soon as Chen Xing came over, he heard their conversation and said, "Beauty, don't you think the flower petals were beautiful when they fell just now? It's like the angel descending in your Bible. Isn't this more interesting than individual soap bubbles?"

Kailu was stunned.

She was taken aback just now, and then she saw the child, so she didn't pay attention to the petals.

Hearing what Chen Xing said, he subconsciously recalled the picture.

"Indeed... is it okay?"

But I didn't see it!

Kailu was caught in a tangle for a moment.

Chen Xing was in a good mood, nodded to the child who was punished, and said, "Good job! But don't make up your own mind in the future, maybe he has a boyfriend? How embarrassing you are."

"She didn't."

"Then maybe I have?"

"Then you come alone?"

"..."

Does this little brat have the talent to talk the world to death?
Interludes, are all episodes, Chen Xing doesn't care.

With the newly acquired skills and the theme of a painting, Chen Xing continued to move forward.

I can't go too far today, Chen Xing plans to rest in Vernon, stay for one night, and then see if there is anything worth seeing there, if not, then go straight to Rouen, a big city in northern France.

There are indeed accommodation conditions in the town of Giverny, there are hotels, and they are still very classic, but it is difficult to book a room during this season.The surrounding hotels are not only expensive, but also have no special features. If you live in this kind of place, you might as well go to Vernon.

He came here by car at Vernon Station today, but he didn't expect to walk back now.

These two places are really close, like a square separated by a line, the whole area on the left is Vernon, and a small point near the line on the right is Giverny.

This line is called the Seine.

Vernon is a typical European city. There are no high-rise buildings in the city. It is estimated that there are only some on the edge of the city or in the commercial area. Most of the residents are self-built houses, and there are all kinds of styles.

I don't know if it's too close to Monet's Garden, but the people here also like to grow flowers.

The greenery in this place is really good, and it is only a two-hour drive from the center of Paris. Even if you don't take the subway, it won't take long to drive there by yourself.

After dinner at a Turkish restaurant, Chen Xing was looking for a hotel along the highway.

If you don’t go to those small towns that have been preserved for decades or hundreds of years, this kind of developed urban area is almost the same as the small towns in American movies. It is a wide road with houses built by people on both sides of the road. .

There are many flowers in the yard.

When passing by a house, Chen Xing stopped.

Someone put a wooden sign on the land in the yard, saying: "My father passed away, we can't move many things away, come in and have a look, if there is something you need, you can take it away at a low price."

There are many people coming and going in and out of the house, and there are big beds, sofas and so on in the yard.

Chen Xing also walked in curiously.

Many large furniture in the room were moved to the yard outside, so although there are many people in this house, it is still relatively empty. There are things on the table and in the cabinet, and many people hold them to watch.

A man in his thirties commanded people to move things. When he came down from the second floor, he saw Chen Xing and let out a cry of surprise.

He beckoned to let the movers take the things out first, and said to Chen Xing, "This is the first time I see an Asian here, hello, are you a tourist?"

"Yes, I saw this place when I was looking for a hotel."

"Then you are in the wrong place. We are all private houses here, and there are no hotels, but I should be able to tell you how to get there." He said while cooperating with gestures, either turning left or turning right, There are only two words in Chinese, but it takes a long time to speak French. Chen Xing can almost light a cigarette with his mouth.

But the local traffic is really complicated, it took Chen Xing a long time to understand.

What he understands is... don't try your luck to find a hotel, just turn on the navigation!
Seeing that Chen Xing finally nodded, the man also heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the young man finally understood.

"Then you can take a look here, and come to me if you want anything."

He is also very busy, and finally found time to come back to pack up his old father's belongings, otherwise he should be working in England at the moment... damn British.

Chen Xing nodded and said, "Okay."

He didn't come in to buy anything, but he had never seen such a thing before, and he just wanted to come in to see what it was like, commonly known as eye-opening.

Holding the camera in his arms, Chen Xing walked slowly in this place that might have been deserted before, but now it is very lively.

Whether it's a cabinet or a table, everything that can be opened has been opened, and the things inside have been turned into a mess.Indeed, there is no need to be careful, by tonight, all the remaining things here will be dragged away and thrown away.

There are many books in the study on the second floor, many of which are about architecture.

The owner of the house should have been an architect before?

Chen Xing found a few novels from a pile of professional books and looked through them. Although the outside looks a bit old, the pages are actually very new, but they have been placed for a long time, and they look a little damp.

Just put it in the sun and dry it.

When putting the book back, Chen Xing saw that there was a cardboard box on it, but he didn't know what it was, so Chen Xing took it down.

Looks like some postcards in there?

No wonder no one wanted it.

Just about to put it back, Chen Xing stopped suddenly.

It's not like a postcard.

He put it in front of him again and picked up the contents.

Fuji-FP-100C
Tear off the pull tab?
It seems that this box is at least a thousand euros less!
You must know that this product is discontinued now, and one photo is missing. The current market price is about [-] euros per shutter, and a box of ten pieces. There seem to be twenty or thirty boxes here.

I missed it?

Although more than 1000 euros is not much for him now, the pleasure of picking up leaks has nothing to do with how much money he can make.

It is estimated that people who came here before did not know what these things are. They are not people who specialize in photography. Who knows how expensive this old-looking thing is?This study probably still has a camera, which was bought away.

Chen Xing opened the box with excitement, poured it on his right hand, and as a result... a stack of photos came out.

A stack of photos?
play me?
Chen Xing's excited mood became even more excited... annoyed.

He thought he missed it, but it turned out that they were all used.

He unpacked all the little boxes, all used.

The subjects of the photos are all the same, that is, when a young man left the house, if it wasn't for the different clothes he was wearing, Chen Xing would have thought that the same scene had been photographed many times.

He picked up the photos and looked at them one by one.

The casual face becomes more and more serious as the number of photos viewed increases.

This is not a simple box of photos.

This is a group.

Yes, the hundreds or even thousands of photos here can be counted as a set of works.

Chen Xing hurriedly separated the photos that were randomly placed before and were now almost mixed together, and then put them back together, holding the cardboard box in the yard and found the man in his forties.

He saw Chen Xing walking out with Chen Xing in his arms, and said with a smile, "What did you choose?"

"It's not that I want to buy, but that I want to show you."

"What? I've already taken everything I need, and I've checked it once."

"Have you seen these photos too?"

"What picture?"

Chen Xing looked down in the box, found the earliest serial number and said, "You can open it and have a look."

The man unpacked the box with a puzzled expression, and shook out a stack of photos from inside.

Is it really a photo?
He thought these were film rolls, he'd seen Dad use them, but he never thought they might contain photos.

The man looks down at the photo.

He missed the first one.

When I was young, my mother stood in front of the yard and sent me a picture of getting on a school bus. It was more than 20 years ago. I went to school for the first time. At that time, my mother was still very young, and the skirt she wore made her Like a 20 year old girl.

Then the next chapter is about being hugged by my mother from the car while crying.

The photographer is still standing in the same place.

The man looked up at that corner of the yard. He was so familiar with this location, and he had the impression that his father would always stand there.

Continue to look at the photos.

There are a lot of photos of him leaving home and returning home. There are a lot of photos when he was in school, and then he graduated from high school. He received his graduation gift, an old antique second-hand car, which made him very happy. He came here before driving out Hug with the person who took the photo. In the photo, you can see a hand stretched out by the shooting team.

Needless to say, Chen Xing opened the other small boxes after finishing one box.

It contains every photo of him from childhood to adulthood, especially from the period after he went out to study in college, and every time he came back. In the photos, he has grown up visible to the naked eye, but his mother has also grown older visible to the naked eye.

When I was in my 20s, whether I left or came back, I was the only one on the screen.

Ten years ago my mother died in a car accident.

The scenery in the photo changes with the seasons, a group of flowers in the background blooms and withers, and finally covered with white snow, the people in the photo are also dressed better and better, married and have wives, people are getting fatter, and their faces are full. There are fewer and fewer smiles on the Internet.

In the last few photos, I hardly smiled, even with a straight face.

At that time, he had just been sent to work in the UK by the company, and many things were not going well, and it took a long time to come back. He felt that his father was annoying when he kept talking.

At that time, he didn't know that his father had terminal cancer.

He never knew about it.

He was the last one to be notified when his father was admitted to the hospital three months ago, but he hadn't visited him for half a year before that. Thinking of this, he couldn't help the gurgling tears before, and started to cry loudly.

Chen Xing also rubbed his eyes.

He had just shed tears once.

Only after seeing these photos did Chen Xing realize why it is always said that family love is a feeling that transcends everything.

Chen Xing didn't know what kind of person this gentleman's father was, whether he was tall, short, fat, or thin. Maybe he was just an ordinary person who loved photography and never thought of making money from photography.

But he took pictures that 90.00% of the photographers could not take.
