My 2022 Annual Street Photography Collection
The year 2022 is my fourth year of study in the US and it means a lot to me personally.
Academically, I graduated with a master's degree, got an offer for a Ph.D. and also got an offer for a research master's degree from Cornell University (I didn't get to apply for the blog), and gave up the opportunity to go to Minnesota for a Ph.D. in graphic design after three months of agonizing, and went to Cornell to be my girlfriend's "student", starting my career as a second master.
In terms of career, I also started to earn money in the United States, with the meager income paid by the RA job, and also took the SSN, had a small office in Cornell, and continued to be confused about building my future.
I bought a 49mm CPL for my girlfriend's GRIII, a small pocket camera that was slowly becoming less portable, replaced my Sony M3 with an M4, sold my 55mm f1.8, bought a 40mm f2.5 G, 50mm f1.2 GM and 70-200mm f2.8 GM, and replaced the 70-200mm f4 G with a Sigma 100-400mm (and a bunch of black and soft CPLs). 400mm (and a bunch of black and soft CPL filters); also fooled his girlfriend into buying a fuji XT-4; and a bunch of peak design accessories. (All are the trap of consumerism)
The journey, or timidly put off the May return home to Shanghai tickets. For more than three years have not been able to go home. New York life also intermittently began. Moved from Savanah, Georgia to Ithaca, New York State for a long time.
I had a lot of free time in the first half of '22, so I took my camera and kept shooting on the street, forcing myself to take my camera with me whenever I went out. I couldn't help but pick out a few of my favorite photos to share at the end of the year.
2022年是我在美国读书的第四年，对我个人意义很多。
学业上，硕士毕业了，拿到了一个PhD的录取的同时也拿到了康奈尔大学的一个研究型硕士的录取（申博没上去），纠结三个月后放弃了去明尼苏达读平面设计PhD的机会，去康奈尔当了女友的“学弟”，开始了二硕的生涯。
事业上，也开始在美国赚钱了，有了RA工作给付的微薄收入，也拿了SSN，在康奈尔有了一个小小的办公室，继续迷茫的建设自己的未来。
相机设备上，给女友送的GRIII买了个49mm的CPL，小口袋相机也开始慢慢不便携了。Sony的M3换成了M4，卖掉了55mm f1.8，买了40mm f2.5 G， 50mm f1.2 GM和 70-200mm f2.8GM，还用70-200mm f4 G换了一个适马100-400mm（另有一堆黑柔和CPL滤镜）；还忽悠女友买了个fuji XT-4；还有一堆peak design的配件。（全都是消费主义的陷阱啊）
旅程中，还是胆小的推掉了五月份回国落上海的机票。三年多都没能回家。纽约的生活也间断式的开始了。从佐治亚的Savanah搬到了纽约州的Ithaca长住。
22年的上半年空闲时间很多，拿着相机在街头一直拍不停，强迫自己只要出门就要带着相机。瞎拍的这一年扩展了很多题材，在年末忍不住挑出自己最喜欢的几张照片来分享。
