Chapter 25 Chapter two

Namhara Masahisa is still single. He likes to move around, so he doesn't plan to start a family just yet.He also has no money. If he has some money, he will buy a new camera, or go out to take pictures with the money. He has an old "Crown" car.After his transformation, he opened a skylight and put his luggage in it, so he can go anywhere. He had just returned from an interview in Hokkaido when he received the award notification from Camera Japan. He is very happy that he won the award.But the bonus of 300,000 yen is really not enough for him to spend, and he can spend it all in a blink of an eye.Because he had long longed for the coast of Guam in the South Pacific, he wanted to use the money as travel expenses to see it.

The next day, Nanyuan drove to the "Camera·Japan" magazine office near Tokyo Station.Wherever he goes, he wears casual clothes like jeans and a sweater.It's not that he is unconventional, but he really doesn't have the money to dress himself up.And he doesn't have a suit yet. When he arrived at the magazine office, he was immediately taken to the reception room, where a female staff brought him a cup of coffee.But the editor-in-chief never showed up. He wondered if he had come early, and then looked at the notice in his hand, which indeed said "Please come to our office at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon".It's exactly 2 o'clock now.

After waiting for nearly 30 minutes, the editor-in-chief Taguchi finally showed up. "Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm actually stuck on a little thing." Taguchi said to Minamihara in embarrassment. "Is it related to me?" Nan Yuan asked. "yes." "So you're going to disqualify me from winning the award?" "No. Actually, there was a thief in this building yesterday." "Thief?……" How could the thief have anything to do with him?Nan Yuan tilted his head in confusion.Seeing this, Taguchi took out the lighter, lit a cigarette and said:

"It's strange that the thief left your high-end camera behind and stole your work." "My work, really?" "It's not true. All the collected works were put in envelopes and locked in the file cabinet. Only your work was lost." "Why are you stealing my work?" "We don't know either. If your work was selected and became a valuable item, maybe the thief came here for this? We have already called the police. It would be great if you could provide the negatives, otherwise we will be very embarrassed. That group of works by Baixuqiao is five pieces, right?"

"Yes. I took several pictures, and there was no repetition." "That's good. The problem is what to do if there is no work? If there is no work, we can't explain to the voters! And how to publish it in the magazine? If it is a different work, it will be discounted, and it will be a problem to publish it in the magazine. .” "Suddenly something like this happened..." "I think it's better to reshoot a group of Baixuqiao's works? This is our mistake, please." Namhara did not immediately answer Taguchi's request.It is too abrupt for five solicited works to be stolen.What kind of compensation should the magazine offer from conscience considerations?

Nanyuan "squat" at Baixu Bridge for a month in late September to shoot, and he used nearly 100 film rolls.But what he devoted himself to the most during the month was the day of September 27. He carefully selected more than 50 photos out of more than 200 photos on that day;This is not easy! "If possible, I'll take another shot!" Nan Yuan said. He immediately returned to the dormitory and went to Baixu Bridge. His dormitory is in Setagaya, and Shirasu Bridge is in Senju, Arakawa District. They are far away and it is difficult to capture pictures every day, so he sleeps in the car.

Shirasu Bridge is located about 1 km away from a well-known valley in Arakawa Street along Meiji Street of Tokyo Gas Storage Station.Just across the bridge is Mukoshima in Sumida Ward. Namwon's interest in Baixuqiao lies in the fact that he can feel the true meaning of life there.And it turned out that he liked all kinds of bridges.Although this pedestrian bridge, which has become a relic in the city, is simple in shape, it gives people a beautiful feeling. Especially on the bridge, it is more interesting to see the different lifestyles of various people at both ends of the bridge.On this side of the Shirasu Bridge, Minami lived mostly workers; on the contrary, the Mukoshima side was full of rich and big families.Therefore, at a glance on the bridge, it can be seen that there are obvious differences in the expressions and clothing of the various people coming and going.

As soon as Nanyuan arrived at the Baixu Bridge, he leaned against the bridge and set up his camera.Five or six minutes ago, the typical light rain of the Meiyu period began to fall, and the whole small bridge was immersed in the misty rain, giving it a unique view.From time to time, a woman with an umbrella walks past. At first glance, she looks like a small business owner, and Nanyuan has no interest in taking pictures. Nan Yuan slept in the car that night. The next day, Xiao Yu disappeared like a myth.Around noon, Taguchi's car also arrived. Nanyuan thought that he was here to urge the work, so he said to him:

"I haven't found the feeling yet..." But Taguchi smiled and replied: "No need to shoot, your work has been found."
