"They have broadened my horizons, increased my knowledge and enriched my life. I am very fond of taking pictures of ordinary people. I see it as kind of Thanksgiving, a reward. Every time I would take the photo back to the person himself, I would like for these ordinary people to be captured on permanent data. And also I learned to appreciate the warmth I experience when taking the pictures. You can experience human nature only when you open your heart, something I try to do when taking pictures, " Lu said.
