Nice video.
My mandarin is so-so, but I love the way she explained why she choose to take picture with cameras that makes her disappear in the crowd (right around the time she uses the the Pentax Mini). Roughly translated it says:

"There are times when I don't want the world to intrude into my being there, therefore I also do not want to intrude into the world (with my photography)"

I think she says it beautifully.

NOTE: I know there is the subtitle, but somehow the subtitle doesn't quite convey that part, which is strange. I assume the subber speaks better mandarin than I do 🙂

Nikon FM2n with 50 1.4. Sweet!
She was quite cute too.

thanks, Robert!

As a side note, the more videos like this that are out there, the better - to counter the photographer-phobia narrative elsewhere in the media.

Thank you.

She understands that photography is painting with light!

Its a funny thing, but still have the key to my parents old house. I hadn't lived there for 10 years before they sold it 3 years ago. I've still got the key, and I even know what drawer its in at home. I'd never actually thought about it until now...

Interesting comment on the subtitling! As a translator by trade I'm painfully aware that it can be a real art to accurately express in the target language the full meaning of the source language. The subber's Mandarin might be better than yours but perhaps your English is better than theirs 😉

I am not so cute as she is, but...I have the same camera with the same lens 🙂

Somehow I doubt that, Jon 🙂
