Taka a photo

Date: 1987

Location: Beijing Children's Palace

It was sunny on Children's Day in 1987. At a corner of a park in Beijing, photographers gathered to take photos for children. Young mothers waited in line to get their children photographed. During that time, there were only black-and-white photos and most families didn't have their own cameras.

Now taking a photo has become incredibly easy. Almost everyone has a mobile phone that can take photos anytime, anywhere.
