a lecture

　　Today I went to a lecture which title was “waiting for Venus.” The content is about a picture the photographer took which was named by the poet,鄭愁予,and Mr. Zheng also give him two poems. At first I didn’t consider the lecture was very interesting and in fact my main aim is to see Mr. Zheng’s true color. So when I found that the leading role is the old, grey-headed man, I was disappointed. The moderate temperature and the light are comfortable; moreover, the photos he showed was black and white, all these made me drowse. In addition to all the factors above, the very beginning of the show was a woman sitting on a table and dancing with her hands. That really confused me because what she did has nothing to do with the theme, I thought.
　　

　　　But later, the transparency was changed; the photos appeared before my eyes attracted my attention. They are a series of photos that he took including the scenic photo, and the nude body’s photo. I admire the photographer’s spirit for they can always get rid of all the distracting thought in their mind and view the nakedness as an artistic production. But what impressed me most are the scenic photos he took. For example, one of the pictures was a worn out room with two windows, and there is a chair in the middle of the room. It seemed simple but really touched me because the sunshine light up the dark, small room and also, the narrow place and the extensive sky out of the windows form a strong comparison. All of a sudden, the lonely room has some hopes. Even if there is an old man or woman sitting on the chairs, the scene is not as despair as it should be. The photo seems to tell us that there are always have expansive roads out of the hopelessness.
　　

　　　Another touching photo is the leading role of today’s lecture “waiting for Venus.” It was placed on the wall in the first floor of the college of medicine. The azure sky and the dark blue ocean were separated by the horizon. At the right of the sky and ocean are a dimly mountain and a spotlessly white wall with a red window. My mind was calm down when I saw the photo and as fall into the picture. I remember that one of my principles was: there is nothing beautiful can be recorded. Neither by words nor by images because they cannot convey the touching to the readers. Only when you go to the same place by yourself can you realize the beauty. But some people really bring us to there by the pictures. You see what he sees, and feel what he feels.

　　

　　　Mr. Zheng named the photo because he thought that the photo is like waiting for love. And he believed that if the Venus really comes to here, she’ll go away as quick as she can for she also knows that she will break the quiet scene. During the lecture I surprising noticed that the old photographer was quite humorous. And the woman who dancing at beginning appeared again to end the lecture was his wife. I really learn a lot of things from today, and the most important is, beauty is everywhere.
