Xinhua News Agency, that's frozen, "not published" in the old photos (Photo) Old photos
Pieces "fit to publish" photos
Funk Force
"Old Photo" founded at the beginning, the information from the Xinhua News Agency Photo Department benefit from a lot of room.
Conform to the trend of the market economy is it, about the nineties before and after pictures, information Xinhua News Agency Photo Department began opening up to the name of the Xinhua News Agency photo archives for the society, to carry out services, charge a fee. I remember in 1996 when the external provision of a 555 yuan. When the threshold is not high access, as long as the entity holding the letter of introduction, you can get a warm reception and service. Staff according to your access request to the warehouse to extract the relevant atlas, sometimes because of too much information, one can not hold, then launch it on the small car, and then a pile of books in your desk.
Still later, on a few more procedures for approval, as both types of pictures, often leading to approval by the appropriate level, before providing to the outside. Then once I went to pick a _set_ of public-private partnership in 1956 when shooting photos, recorded after the socialist transformation is still accepted Rong luxury home life. Want to came here to the situation by showing Rong abundant, publicity wise business transformation policy, which discourage business people have concerns. There Rong Jiaxuan spacious villa screen appearance, the home of recreational chess room and so on, one of which is his son smiling squat in the yard, leaning on one hand shotgun in one hand and carrying a string of sparrows were killed in the show posters, documentation that came with a positive response called "mahjong" the call, the number of sparrows killed one day only, and so on. After the staff to see that these photos should be sent to leading the review, let me back to the hotel to wait for news. I told them that I had bought the evening's trip ticket, can not wait any longer. Staff who thought the proposed cost of _select_ed photos I first paid, if approved by, they took photographs sent to me, and vice versa, then the refund. Back to Jinan, the second day, they called me and said I'm sorry, those pictures did not approve a leading ... ... result, those who have been high-profile show off photos, after the dust after decades of years, he did change become a "not published", in which the mystery is really hard to ponder the matter.
Next, is specific about the original files from the Xinhua News Agency Atlas in "Amoy" to the pieces of the past, "not published" and by "old photo" disclosed in the pictures.
One of them is the Mao Zedong and the renowned sociologist Mr. Pan Guangdan photos together (see Figure 1). "Old Photos" published this photo, supplied by Mr. Wu Bing interpretation of written text, which wrote: "Oct. 23, 1951 the third meeting of the first session of the CPPCC in Beijing. The meeting breaks, Mao Zedong off the podium, and the Government Administration Council Cultural Education Committee Pan Guangdan conversation. Pan Guangdan college sports due to accident, broken leg, walking inconvenience. probably see the other person at rest leave Mao walk, but not from sitting Pan Guangdan, so special Canadian consultant. Zedong photos together with others, most prominent position, it is 'exposed' face, and this one, but it is back, and stood aside ... ... "Pan Guangdan see in front of Mao Zedong came to his own, then with a cane from seat got up, holding the pipe with the other hand insisted on the desktop, with a smile and hair accosted ... ... this picture to freeze frame the moment, reflecting the specific period of Communist Party leaders and prominent intellectuals, especially intellectuals, the delicate relationship between . Interpreters from the pictures, "back in the humble leader," read, is the founding of the beginning of the "national treasure talent, talent's earnest feeling." But also just a few years of the intellectual after the "impending doom" have lamented: Mao Zedong, so even the courtesy of Pan were also not spared!
Is such a sense of the times means that very spot news photos, but because leaders are back to the lens, which were classified as "not published" in the column, sleeping in the agency's data library for decades, until the "old photos "from Jan, before the" historic photos, "the face may see the light.
Well join the club. Later, "old photographs" in early 1949 has also published over Chiang Kai-shek announced a "step down" back to worship with the Chiang Ching-kuo, Fenghua home in the mountains overlooking the home of the photographs (see Figure 2). Photo providers, according to Taiwan-known collector of old photographs of Mr. Qin Feng describes the photo shoot because the leader is the angle from the back, was the KMT fled to Taiwan as "not from Jan" until the death of Chiang Kai-shek and his son before been publicly available.
Although the tone of these two pictures are very different, showing the former leaders and intellectuals was courteous, which is the Chiang family to keep the Temple of the helpless panic speech, but leaders need to face, the tall and the image seen by others composition standards, these two pictures is undoubtedly committed the same taboo. It appears that the photo choice, in many cases do not depend entirely on the ideology of political parties, I am afraid there is the deep influence of Chinese traditional culture in it. Just some esoteric subject, non-District can make above, Yang had to be the advantage.

This accurately record the time when two outlook of Shanghai society news photos, why would not permit issued? The reason, although it is difficult to make known, but a closer look about as long as it is not difficult to find these two pictures, they later learn to see the mercy of those who are designed very different from a news photo, composition is not so focused on the theme may not so clear. If Shanghai is the photo light on exterior front of the cinema, the picture in those few hurried bow arched, a tired middle-aged man, who was shocked with the background in the target frame and slogans, and does not constitute an ambiguous determine the relationship likely to create a variety of associations. Taiwan Chapter light photography critic, in the "live in Butte, Sontag, Benjamin picture" wrote: "Bart said, first came to the United States photographer Kete Zi Photos by" life "(life) Magazine rejected the photographs because he 'talks too much', will introduce reverie, that is, in his photographs, there are too many possibilities, making the audience the surface of the image (mask) present on the speculation that the image will be random between the lines. "these two pictures apparently committed" talks too much, "the problems, and when" more than words ", and the pursuit of journalism and propaganda," a clear-cut "naturally very different - and later," the director at the mercy "in China pinnacle in the popular press photography and even there will not be strange.
All in all, from the hands of Chinese reporters that pieces "fit to publish" pictures, the recording time, 比马克吕布's also slightly a few years ago these two pictures. Can be seen, not our photographers can not make pictures to news personality, it is those who think outside the box man-made observations and recorded their inspiration gradually killed. News is objective and free life, and in the so-called "theme first" under the control of our news photographers around itself to hands and feet bound, to go astray by.
Ten years, "old photos" of the collection, publication of news photos and more for the year. Indirectly, also from a historical dimension to re-understand and measure these photos, provides a new perspective and scale. Which photos are valuable and which are of little value, after the years of accumulation, we may see more clearly, and sometimes even on the same photo, today's perception of the past will be just like night and day, as above pieces of photos that show off the same.
Write here, I suddenly emerged an idea: If every newspaper or news agency the year was "shot" out of those news photos search out and publish a photo book, the result will be like?
Our half-century history of news photography, will do some rewriting to do so? |
