五、阅读理解
I was born in a small town called Quetta in Pakistan in 1980. When I was a little boy of about ten years old, I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then, we only had a TV channel(频道) with only a few programmes. One of the programmes was about learning calligraphy. I became interested and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts(笔迹) in the Urdu language.
After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE, falling in love with the architecture(建筑学) and high-rise buildings. I wanted to ▲. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. After a few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes.
Seven years ago, while going through photography blogs and others' works, I read the term called “light painting”, a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I gave it a try and soon it hit me: Why not bring back my passion(热衷的爱好) for calligraphy using light painting? This creative way perfectly matched my two greatest hobbies. Since that day, I've been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results, I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my works is that they are not edited(编辑). I prefer to get the results straight out of the camera. I don't even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse(倒置) and that takes a lot of practice to get it right.
Today, I'm working on the idea of bringing abandoned(废弃的) places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to use light calligraphy by writing words that add deep meaning to those places and telling the stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and understand the real reason for their construction(建造).
