I think no matter the application of 'black and White', 'Older text' or
'Dream' effects are kinds of 'The Creative treatment of Actuality'(...right?).
From angles chosen, colour tone and light direction of my pictures,
all have been given some personal interpretations or narratives.
for example, 1. I use channel mixer to add more green to the photo 'bw_channelMixed_after'(below),
make it looks more mysterious or maybe sacred.
2. the photo 'Older text_after' change the original purpose/information
of the object I shoot. (it's a decoration outside a restaurant）

If viewers haven't see the real work in person, they won't know the real size of the work, the photo compressed the space, also can't tell the time of the work. Therefore, I think my work partly support Benjamin's view of the 'loss of aura'. However, while art work become an exhibit, it already lost the 'aura'（because of the change of location and accessible, from religionary to exhibitive).

* my works is not much about the decisive moment, only the memory maybe; the time and the space ever been (... what do u think?)

p.s. can watch "The genius of photography #3: Right place, right time" on youtube
