我攝影，故我在。。。

當我假日開了兩個多小時的車到一個遠離塵囂人群的景點，我真的沒打算會遇上熟人或與人社交寒暄；我出門攝影時，我一心只盼望著與大自然相遇，盼望著造物許我另一個美景。

我攝影時，我真的是目中無人，因為我眼中只有大自然。所以，真讓人嫌棄的話，也就隨他嫌棄吧。。。

FYI，我引用的名家嘉言只反應了每個攝影家個人的思想及價值，不是我的。。。

其實，也正因為每個攝影家都有其鮮明獨特的個性及觀念，我們才得以看到這麼多樣化的作品。

I can sense the end of another "Golden Child" rotation shift.
Time to slow down and regain peace and tranquility in life.

Kind of weird, but it is like having a rash for more than a month ........

✖ A SECOND NOTE TO SOME ADMINS ✖
-
Please do read my prior note below; don't post any invite links if you insist on my commenting.

If I receive warnings or notifications to request me to comment, here is what I will do, I will just have to quit your group and remove all my previous posts of course.

You may continue to run your group in a strict or whatever way you may call it, while I choose to be myself.

I am more than happy to share my artworks, but don't discipline me or any other photographers as minors.

✖ A NOTE TO SOME ADMINS ✖
-
Please don't bother to invite me to post and share my works in your group if you insist on asking an invited guest to award or comment, for I consider it impolite and rude and even insulting. I am not being unreasonable and a bad sport; it's always unacceptably unpleasant to be banned from a group or rejected to join a group after HAVING been invited to join a group for being accused of not having followed the group rules, especially when you are invited to share your works.

When I spontaneously post any images in any groups, I always follow group rules to comment or award, because it is out of my own will to post and I know its my obligation to go by the book. So when asked to be a guest to share my photos, I think I deserve something better than a ban in return.

回不了頭的螺旋惡化過程。。。


當先進國家的高教育水平的公民發現人類需要有所作為來救地球時，他們憂心忡忡地指出新興國家及落候國家的急速發展恐將加劇暖化，解決方法似乎很簡單：只要減緩甚至停止這些國家的經濟活動應有幫助。但是，可能嗎？

從新興國家的角度來看，他們絕不可能放棄翻身的機會。他們怎麼聽得進他們享盡榮華富貴的富鄰居們來告訴他們要甘於清苦，刻苦耐勞，珍惜地球呢？

而從先進國家的角度來看，他們的污染工業現在大多設在新興國家或落後國家，那些富可敵國的富豪們應該不會叫那些工廠停工吧。而基金股票投資客應該也是如此才對。

而當今大部份的政府都以服務巨型企業為優先，雖然這些巨型企業常常是暖化的最大殺手，但相信這世上絕少有政府會要求他們坐大幅實質的改善。所以，別指望政府會帶領人民去改善暖化，因為他們是兇手之一。別忘記美國曾拒絕簽署京都議定書。

這就是，回不了頭的螺旋惡化過程。。。

自大、貪婪、健忘的人類。。。

日本的慘劇，幾年前也在南洋發生過，但隨著時間過去，人們也隨之將當時的恐怖情景及憂慮心情拋諸腦後 -- 這就是人類的特質。說好聽的話叫樂觀認命；其實，這應該叫逃避事實，鴕鳥心態。

英國的知名學者Lovelock教授，知名Gaia理論的提出者，很多年前便清楚地指出地球暖化的嚴重程度早已過了可挽救的地步了。當時，有人嗤之以鼻，有人不以為然，然而當其言猶在耳之際，北極都快溶光了，非洲的及利馬扎羅山頭的常年冰封白雪也消失了。

今年，甫一開年便天災不斷，我不相信世界末日的宿命論，但人類的貪婪卻以無法想像的速度把我們的世界推向毀滅。

友人：
不知Sunrise在拍這些風景時~
是一個人自己拍
還是有人相伴

一個人拍景跟一群人拍景或是有人陪伴
所拍出來的東西會有不一樣的情感~
面對一個美景要如何把自己抽離出來投入眼前的世界是一種功夫
因為Sunrise葛格作品給我的感受便是如此
寧靜的、獨立的、蒼茫的、壯闊的情感交織在一起~

我：
我拍照喜歡獨自一人，受不了吵雜，甚至有點孤僻、自閉。
通常我會戴上耳機聽音樂，聽鋼琴音樂。
是的，抽離自我是必然的，我通常會在一個點花上1-2個小時，直至最後一絲可用的光線消失為止。

您描述的情緒我都體會過 -- 寧靜的、獨立的、蒼茫的、壯闊的。我想風景攝影之所以如此迷人，應該是因為這樣吧；當我站在天與地之間，眼前是一片浩瀚的大海，伴隨的或許是絢爛醉人的夕色，或許是震懾人心的烏雲，我都覺得自己的渺小，大自然的偉大。

目睹這等景色時，我常會覺得自己好幸運，好光榮，因為造物選擇了我來此幫祂拍下祂創作的這幅絕妙景緻，祂差遣我來幫祂拍下這畫面給世人觀賞。

From today (2010/04/28) on, I am gonna add 風傳影像 to my screen name because I cannot think of any better Chinese characters to put in as part of my screen name.

The first two Chinese characters are my father's given name, which means wind-borne. And of course, the last two Chinese characters mean images.

My father is nearly 80 now. He used to have a camera with him whenever he went out hunting with his buddies!! Yet now, he can no longer shoot with any cameras or shotguns.

。。。。。。

SO, I am NOT 風傳; that is my father's name!!


*********


The more I shoot, the more I learn bit by bit the true meaning of life through my camera; I get to see a brand new world which has been around and ignored by me for so long.

Photography is not only a form of art, but also a way to fulfill the inner self.

---------- My favorite quotes



我們並不是只用相機來創造照片，我們攝影時，我們用上了所有我們讀過的書、我們看過的電影、我們聽過的音樂及我們愛過的人。

"We don't make a photograph just with a camera, we bring to the act of photography all the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard, the people we have loved."

～Ansel Adams



我希望我的作品能夠鼓勵其他人的自我表達，並且激起他們去追尋我們周遭大千世界的美麗及創造激情。

“I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.”

~ Ansel Adams



照片是意念的表達。如果我們心中沒有美麗的意象，我們如何能辨識它呢？

A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?

~ Ernst Haas



When I taught English and talked about books all the time, people used to say that I was a verbal person. When I became a photographer and carried a camera around, people called me a visual person, implying, I suppose, that I needn't apologize if I didn't understand James Joyce. Either way I was insulted, for on the one hand it was okay for me to be blind, and on the other hand, it was okay to be stupid.

～ John Rosenthal - NPR Commentary



情感和攝影一樣都是用感受的，若要用上言語來解釋，便稱不上是真感情或好作品了。。。
