Hi~ I'm Dennis, the photographer in this photo — and the one at the front with the biggest smile!!
Yes, I set up my camera while running back to the couch and still had to grab the shutter before everyone started eating. After all, the smell of a New Year's Eve dinner can't wait for the camera to set up.
This was our New Year's Eve. Three generations crammed into the living room, the couch nearly collapsed, the air smelling of sweet and sour chops and laughter. Grandma is wearing a woolen hat, mom is holding dad's hand, uncle has already stolen two bites, and my sister loves to take pictures but is still pretending to be calm.
2025 is the Chinese year of the snake, which symbolizes cleverness and flexibility. Sounds mysterious — but for us, the biggest wish of the New Year is very simple: to be together, to talk, and to have a hot meal is the greatest happiness.
I made this exhibition because I want you to feel the feeling of “home” — it's not perfect, but it's very real. Sometimes it's noisy, sometimes it's quiet, but as long as we sit together, it's the warmest picture ever!
嗨~我是Dennis,这张照片里的摄影师——也是最前面那个笑得最开心的人!!
是的,我一边摆好相机,一边跑回沙发前,还得抢在大家开吃前按下快门。毕竟,一顿年夜饭的香味,是等不了相机设置的。
这就是我们的除夕夜。三代人挤在客厅,沙发快被坐塌,空气里是糖醋小排和笑声的味道。奶奶带着毛线帽,妈妈牵着爸爸的手,叔叔已经偷吃了两口,妹妹其实超爱拍照但还在假装淡定。
2025年是中国的蛇年,象征聪明和灵活。听起来挺“玄”,但对我们来说,新年最大的愿望很简单:一家人能凑在一起,说说话,吃顿热腾腾的饭,就是最大的幸福。
我做这个展览,是想让大家感受那种“家”的感觉 —— 它不完美,却特别真实。有时吵吵闹闹,有时安安静静,但只要我们坐在一起,就已经是最温暖的画面~
