Transitions: As the World Turns

"Photographing transition is tough. But success takes you to new levels of photography." –Jim Richardson, National Geographic Photographer

Transitions Assignment editor and National Geographic photographer Jim Richardson understands the challenge he has asked of the Your Shot community. He wants you to tell the story of change in one image. Not exactly the easiest of assignments, however he has provided some elements that will make your photos successful:

• Capture transitions: The moment when one thing becomes another • Evoke emotions: Whether joy or sadness, longing or melancholy, make us feel something • Invite wonder: Dispel lethargy; make the world fresh and full of possibilities

Follow along on Your Shot to see more photos and get Jim's feedback.

Love + National Geographic

This Valentine's Day I asked eight National Geographic photographers to share their images that captured love. Below, Jim Richardson writes on his image from a Silk Factory in Khotan, Xinjiang, China, 1989. Read more at: http://bit.ly/1AiAfzL. 

It’s been a quarter century since the day I spied on these girls. A long time since this moment came and went. It’s a love letter, of course. (Do I need to tell you that?) They should have been working. I am almost certain that the woman on the far left, just a vague blur in this photo, is coming to shoo them back to work, to carp at them in the way older people do, when they are resentful that the delirious love of youth will never be theirs again. The young man who wrote the letter is either very handsome or very clever—or both—and dashing, probably, in the way that Uyghur men out on the Silk Road in western China can be. (Did he say he would wait for her that night, out on the oasis street flanked for miles by tall poplar trees that tame the desert winds?) The young women are older by now. There are children. Perhaps there are grandchildren. Thousands of days (and nights) have come and gone. Perhaps they now look back on this moment of giddy love as naive and impetuous and reckless. But what other kind of love is there, that makes any sense? - Jim Richardson
