Recalling the good old days
Silver Award
"Recalling the good old days" is a photographic work created by Wei-Kai Lin. The image depicts an elderly man wearing a black jacket, sitting in a wooden wheelchair. He quietly gazes out the window, seemingly reminiscing about the good old days. The background of the scene is an old train station, with wooden railings and columns forming an open-air space. Through the window, one can see the lush greenery of trees and a distant train. This environment creates a serene and peaceful atmosphere, almost allowing the viewer to feel the passage of time. The man's profile appears deep and pensive in the interplay of light and shadow. His expression is calm and focused, as if he is recalling memories and savoring the moments of his life. The wooden wheels of the chair and the puddles on the floor add traces of age, further emphasizing the flow of time. Through its simple composition and delicate use of light and shadow, the entire work captures the inner emotional world of the elderly man. It allows the viewer to feel the weight of time and the joys and sorrows of life. This photograph not only showcases the photographer's artistic skills but also reflects the profound truths of human existence.
