My late grandfather loved taking film photographs. I was influenced by him and often took pictures with him when I was a child. When I grew up, I visited my grandfather's room for a long time. There I found his old negative film and unused film, just as they were on that day. I remembered those days and my heart was filled with emotion. I laid out the film and took this shot as a memory. Memories of my grandfather gently illuminate my heart and give me great energy for my future activities as a photographer. In this photograph, the film represents my nostalgia for the past, and the light coming through represents my hope for the future.
