Photos
I recently set about putting my photos in albums, and as I was sorting through my photos I realized that taking photos is very important when you move.
My pictures of Beijing are of my Beijing. Pictures of my favorite parks, of the walkways I used all the time, of the bike lanes I used to rollerblade on. Pictures of my friends’ apartments. Pictures of me and my friends where we used to go hang out, or out on a special occasion. Even things tourists would take pictures of are different – my pictures of Tiananmen are of me and my friends standing together, laughing, in front of the gate lit up at night, a memory of the night we went out together to say goodbye because I was leaving for college. I have a picture of the subway train arriving. I have a picture of my bus, silingsan lu. I have pictures of the little boats on Beihai lake I always loved watching. Other people’s pictures will never be the same, and most other people here see Beijing as somthing remote and exotic and not really real in the same way New York is.
I used to feel the same about my parents’ pictures of Frostburg when we lived in Sweden. Everyone else’s ideas about America came from movies and TV. Their images were of a controversial big country far away. My pictures were of everyday life. My picture of the White House has me riding on dad’s shoulders when I was 4. I have pictures of my kindergarten, pictures of our house and of me playing with my friends. No wild car chases and no Beverly Hills 90210, but my America. I still have Christmas tree decorations I made at Beginnings, by Montessori-oriented kindergarten. Now that I’m back, they don’t play the same role anymore. Everyone knows what everyday life in America is like, because we’re all living it. Now, they’re just childhood photos, not exotic childhood photos, but I’m happy I had them when they were something to hang on to almost as proof. Kind of like I hang on to my Beijing photos now.
