時(shí)光荏苒,日月如梭。今年10月1日,是小女兒雯雯十八歲的生日。
作為一個(gè)喜歡攝影的父親,從雯雯出生第一天起,我就開(kāi)始為她拍照,十八年間,共拍攝了7000多張圖片。
從她牙牙學(xué)語(yǔ)、蹣跚學(xué)步,到上幼兒園、小學(xué)、中學(xué),再到而今步入大學(xué)校園,我記錄了雯雯人生中許多的第一次:第一次學(xué)步、第一次戴上紅領(lǐng)巾、第一次上舞臺(tái)演出……翻看著一幅幅圖片,看著女兒從一個(gè)懵懂的小女孩,轉(zhuǎn)眼間成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)亭亭玉立的十八歲青年,仿佛這一切就在昨天。
女兒十八年的成長(zhǎng)歷程,其實(shí)也是社會(huì)發(fā)展的一個(gè)縮影。這些圖片,也見(jiàn)證了祖國(guó)快速發(fā)展和變化的十八年。雯雯小時(shí)候最?lèi)?ài)模仿大人用家里的座機(jī)打電話,而隨著科技發(fā)展,座機(jī)漸漸淡出人們的生活,手機(jī)也由僅限通話,升級(jí)為人手一部的智能設(shè)備;雯雯上小學(xué)時(shí),接送她用的是家里的第一輛電動(dòng)自行車(chē),上高中時(shí)則是開(kāi)著家里的汽車(chē)接送;我為雯雯拍攝使用的相機(jī),也由最初像素低、成像小的卡片數(shù)碼相機(jī),逐漸升級(jí)為全畫(huà)幅單反相機(jī)和微單相機(jī)。
十八年來(lái),作為父母,我們?yōu)樗某砷L(zhǎng)成才付出了許多,但在她收到大學(xué)錄取通知書(shū)的那一刻,感覺(jué)這一切都值了!
十八歲,是人生中的一個(gè)新起點(diǎn),代表著成人的開(kāi)始。我把拍攝積累的這組圖片,作為送給女兒十八歲的禮物。希望她和所有青年一樣,不負(fù)眾望,肩負(fù)起自己的責(zé)任,爭(zhēng)取成為一名有知識(shí)、有理想、有道德的時(shí)代青年!
18th Birthday Gift to Daughter
Time flies like a shuttle. October 1 this year is the 18th birthday of my youngest daughter Wenwen.
As a father fond of photography, I have taken photos of her from the day she was born, and accumulated more than 7,000 photos in the past 18 years.
I have recorded numerous of her firsts in life: first time to toddle, first time to wear a red scarf, first time to perform on the stage... Flipping through the photo album, watching my daughter grow from an ignorant little girl into a slim and graceful 18-year-old young girl, I feel as if everything just happened yesterday.
In her childhood, Wenwen liked to imitate adults using the landline phone at home. With the development of science and technology, landline phones have faded from our life, and cell phones have been upgraded from phones with call function only to smart phones available to everyone. In Wenwen’s primary school years, we used our first electric bicycle to pick up her; in her high school years, we drove a car to pick up her. Besides, the cameras I used have been gradually upgraded from the original card digital cameras with low pixels and small images to full-frame digital single lens reflex and interchangeable lens digital cameras.
In the 18 years, as parents, we have paid a lot for her growth and accomplishment. But when she received her college admission notice, we felt it was all worth it.
The age of 18 is a new starting point in her life, representing the beginning of her adulthood. I sent my daughter these photos as her 18th birthday gift, hoping that as with all young people, she could live up to expectations, shoulder her responsibility, and strive to become a knowledgeable, aspiring and virtuous youth of the times!
