Because it is there 丨 Li Jing's works exhibition debuted in the Chinese Photography Gallery

British mountaineer George Mallory, in response to a question about why you want to climb the mountain, replied: "Because the mountain is there!" This concise and poetic answer became a resounding vow for all climbers, and a seemingly shallow sentence threw both worldliness and utilitarianism down the mountain.

In fact, animal photographers, especially wildlife photographers, have a lot of similarities with climbers, they have to go through hardships, stay lonely, use their bodies and minds to face the silent nature and animals at closest distance, complete the physical touch, spiritual touch, no one is watching, less applause, they are just chased by a certain belief.

Li Jing should be a person who has lost his life to wild animals, and he is willing to give time, money, or even life to a cheetah or an elephant. Some people criticize this attitude of photography as going crazy, but it is precisely this kind of myrrhy-free bitterness that has achieved the photographer's life and life.
