我拍下了老年夫婦的照片，我所見(jiàn)證的那種純潔而誠(chéng)實(shí)的愛(ài)是令人難以置信的

I started off as a family and child photographer five years ago, but what I noticed was that people only came to get photographs taken with their children and spouses. I never had a client asking me to take photographs of their parents or grandparents or even photos of their children and parents.

五年前，我開(kāi)始從事家庭和兒童攝影的工作，但我注意到人們只來(lái)這里和他們的孩子和配偶合影。我從來(lái)沒(méi)有客戶讓我給他們的父母或祖父母拍照，甚至給他們的孩子和父母拍照。

So I decided to divide my work time into two parts. I spent one half of my month photographing my clients the way they wanted me to and the other half was dedicated to requesting grandparents and great-grandparents (who I would invite via model calls or would randomly approach in public places) to come and be photographed by me with their grandkids.

所以我決定把我的工作時(shí)間分成兩部分。我花半個(gè)月根據(jù)客戶的要求拍攝他們，另一半時(shí)間致力于請(qǐng)求祖父母和曾祖父母(我將通過(guò)模型調(diào)用或隨機(jī)方法在公共場(chǎng)所邀請(qǐng))來(lái)與他們的孫子輩拍照。

On one such shoot in Houston, Texas, this year, I noticed that while I was photographing one grandparent with their grandchild, the other grandparent was just standing silently in a corner. So, for the sake of their memories together, I asked both grandparents if I could photograph them together... and I haven't stopped doing that now.

今年，在德克薩斯州休斯頓的一次這樣的拍攝中，我注意到，當(dāng)我在拍攝一位祖父母和他們的孫子時(shí)，另一位祖父母只是靜靜地站在一個(gè)角落里。所以，為了他們?cè)谝黄鸬幕貞洠覇?wèn)他們的祖父母我是否可以一起拍照……我現(xiàn)在還沒(méi)有停止這樣做。

Whichever country I visit, I make sure I photograph elderly couples there together and I cannot express how fulfilling this has been for me. The stories I hear of their lives together... and the pure and honest love that I witness in the course of these shoots is just beyond amazing.

無(wú)論我去哪個(gè)國(guó)家，我都會(huì)確保拍下老夫妻在一起的照片，我無(wú)法表達(dá)這對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)有多滿足。我聽(tīng)到他們共同生活的故事……在拍攝過(guò)程中，我所見(jiàn)證的那種純潔而又誠(chéng)實(shí)的愛(ài)，實(shí)在是太不可思議了。

One of the elderlies said to me, "When we were young, we had so much around us to distract us. Our love always seemed to be so rushed... so incomplete. But now that we have only each other, this love, this companionship is all that matters."

其中一位老人對(duì)我說(shuō):“當(dāng)我們年輕的時(shí)候，周?chē)刑嗟氖虑樽屛覀兎中摹Ｎ覀兊膼?ài)總是那么匆忙……所以不完整。但現(xiàn)在我們只有彼此，這種愛(ài)，這種陪伴才是最重要的。”
