*新鲜出炉的海报.

嗨!亲爱的COPYCAT先生, 你知道吗? 今天一大早当我打开FACEBOOK看到自己的心血被您抄袭与糟蹋的感觉, 那简直是赤裸裸的强奸. 那时候我很想发飙, 但是我没有, 我牵强地告诉自己那可能是巧合. 稍后, 数位友人不约而同地纷纷把您的大作传送给我. 看着那些不堪入目的照片, 还有您沾沾自喜的回复, 鄙人佩服得五体投地. 当某位自称摄影师, 偷窃了某位连摄影师也说不上的摄影爱好者为他朋友倾力而作的构思, 然后再愚蠢地利用偷窃回来的构思赢取别人的认同. 如果这是一位摄影师该拥有的人格与品德, 那在下无话可说.

当然, 如果我的破构思能得到摄影师的垂青, 那肯定是我的福气. 至少, 我的烂构思可以从他们手上得到锤炼, 而我也可从中一睹原品的不足. 而你, 亲爱的COPYCAT先生, 对不起, 我只看到你如何凌辱我的构细. 我多想让你知道我选择巷弄作为拍摄地点的原因, 采用飘扬红布的原因, 还有最初衍生这构思的原因.当你不能为你拍摄的铺排讲出个所以然, 那么, 你就应该察觉自己抄袭的悲哀.

以上的照片描述着我的感想, 失去创作力并不可怕,把品格埋葬才是最可悲的事情.

感谢亲爱的COPYCAT先生让我们上的一堂课.



I'm extremely pissed off today...as I found copycat who stole my concept and mis-abused it badly. Worst, he claimed himself as a photographer and being proud with the concept he stole. I'm truely disappointed, and speechless with such despicable deed. Well, dear Mr.photographer aka Copycat, I wonder if u know the reason behind the concept, why I chose such location, why I used red veil instead of white / blue / yellow, and what effort we made in order to dedicate this album to my friends. I bet u won't know...

p
"希望之谷没有了希望." 这是希望之谷采访片段中的老伯伯在结尾时说的一句话. 这次的分享给了我很大的冲击, 那些影片固然煽情了些, 但其中的数据, 人物与故事却都是真实的. 我不知道那些以被质疑的手段取获这土地拥有权的先生们能否体验老人们的无奈, 也不了解我们打从孩提起被授予的道德观念为何如此不堪一击.

刚换了新工作的我实际上并没有帮上许多忙, 工作忙碌是该死的借口, 仅有的周末能做的也挺有限. 全赖旨祥一人包办, 图片分享才能如期展出. 展出的前几天, 多亏同事阿KONG, 还有表姐鼎力相助, 放能提早把照片表好. 旨祥还特地在展出前一天请假, 把照片一一贴上. 这烦躁的工作, 我可尝试过, 并不容易. 因此, 请体恤他的用心, 把文化冷感扼杀吧.

昇杰说得棒极了, 这次的展出并不是炫耀照片拍得怎样, 而是作为媒介, 告诉大家这地方的存在, 还有它身为文化遗产, 却被贪婪的人们逐渐侵蚀破坏的事实. 他也是我们当中最坚持的一位, 频频往希望之谷捕景去.

儒频在最后抛了一个问题给大家, 她说既然大家都清楚在这国度上的历史遗迹不被重视, 文化也从不能凌驾于发展之上, 为何还作所谓无功的争取. 我忘了她给予的答案, 但我想大家的答案都是一样的, 那应该是出于对"根"的执着 ~ 我们的文化之根.

至于我, 得益不浅. 从以前以单纯摄影者的视野, 至今天以参与者角度去探讨, 固然, 又是另一番的景象. 至少, 我不再稀罕表面虚假的美.

对于之前引起的困扰, 在此说声抱歉.
总而言之, 与朋友分享的照片还会继续留在MULTIPLY, 而文章与影像创作依然会在我的新部落.

缘聚缘散, 有很多事情从这里开始, 所以也应该在这里结束.
感谢友人们这一年来的捧场, 有机会就在我新家那见!
再见!

I never thought I would take any pic of firework, as I'm not a great fan of it.
Instead of that, the task seems to be too troublesome to me (requires tripod setup).
Nevertheless, I had followed Ah Tat to Putrajaya on this pleasant weekend
to cover couple of firework shoots.

Frankly speaking, I was disappointed with the firework show, I thought it
should be something stunning ... I rather shoot with my own fantasy,
be it out of focus, or nonfigurative, at least these r wat I want.

星期天跑了一趟PUTRAJAYA, 美其名是参加摄影比赛, 事实上是参与大伙儿的聚会, 见见师兄弟们,互相寒喧寒喧一番.

丽滨大人带了两位小瓜参与我们. 宇谦与宇康两兄弟可不是盖的, 对拍摄确实有一手. 当天可是由展龙兄临时充当他俩老的奶爸. 我是想当奶妈, 奈何没本钱. 呵呵.

没怎么拍摄, 都是闹着玩的.

"My Condolence"

Sorry for being late, you left me nothing but unbearable sorriness.
Your death is irreparable, yet those fools won't realize.
I pray for your reincarnation, and live your soul with us.
Still, I'm sorry ... your elegant door in faded blue.

我来了, 却来迟了.
你最终还是逃不过.

钢骨水泥顶替了你,
但灵魂却继承不了.

区区水泥如何述说坎坷,
纤纤钢骨何以承载过去.

不能老死的蓝门
愿你于脑海重生,
不再为俗世厌弃.

2007年度吉隆坡摄影节即将来临囖!
想找好康头的, 想看摄影展的, 想拍美眉的,
又或, 想获得最新旅游资讯的,
不妨抽空于2007年9月15-16日光临吉隆坡时代广场.
别错过哟!

入场与讲座都是免付费的 :)

它是我在清迈认识的朋友, 阳.
寄居在那宾馆里, 它是那儿的上宾.
记得刚抵步, 柜台小姐安妮就迫不及待的告诉我它的名字.
算起来来我俩也蛮投缘, 高傲的猫是不会主动向你亲近的.
如是者, 我呆在那几天, 也与它相处了几天.

记得第二天晚上, 俊平出去鬼混了, 我一个人呆在房间里, 县得有些无聊.
带上MP3, 我打开了门说想透透气. 我看见阳呆坐在门外.
它用双眸无精打彩的瞄一瞄我, 算是打声招呼吧, 我想.
我不想破坏它的雅兴, 我坐了下来, 陪它一起看夜色.
MP3里头都是些抒情歌曲, 印象犹深的, 是MOON RIVER.
如是者, 我与阳在那呆了一段时候, 直到萌起了睡意.
后来, 俊平告诉我直到他凌晨回来时还看见阳呆在那.
那时我想可能它的前主人与这房间有关联吧?

在离开的清晨, 我在餐厅遇见阳, 轻轻碰了它的额头, 然后说再见.
它仿佛明白似的答我一声"喵", 然后就继续往它的春秋大梦作去.
嘿, 臭猫, 你可显得潇洒.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had been observing for few days,
waiting for her to evolve completely
into a spherical and bewitching plenilune.

It's not the werewolf's privilege
to scrounge the Moon
but passionate human too,
what say u?

I had went to Ipoh and Fraser Hill within the past 3 days respectively. It was an invitation from Ehurn Nee, along with her colleague, Kit (also known as "Ngo Ngo") and last but not least, the pro photographer Kelvin Chan.

We were having sort of "Amazing race" alike journey, to be precise ~ "a cari makan trip". From KL we travelled to Ipoh, and from Ipoh we kept on cramming food into our tiny little stomach. Eventually, I forgot how many meals I had took in a single day. Let's hail to our generous friends from ipoh! Frozen beer (雪花酒) was the big surprise awaiting us in Ipoh, according to Andy, Frozen beer was originally derived from Ipoh.

Mr.Kelvin had conducted a great show tat nite, his photos r stunning! If only u saw those pics he took from Kashmir and Nepal, and there u will crave for these Utopias, or worst ~ longing to be a photographer.

We rushed to Fraser Hill the following day, from there we met Nikon staffs and a bunch of school kids. We were having great time leading those kids for photo outing. While having the outing, I had a great conversation with their Cikgu, a very down to earth person, who initially reminded me of my school teacher, Puan Zawiah. Wondering how is she doing ...

Though the 3D2N journey is kinda hasty, but I did enjoy myself. Had nice food, spent great time with kids, and even inspired by the slideshows. Well, another pleasant weekend I had.

忙着忙着, 竟没察觉日前设下的清迈自助旅行计划即将来临. 天! 完全毫无头绪, 然后紧随着八月中旬的柬铺寨之旅... 无论如何，一定要去美斯乐！很想亲身体验曾炎笔中的美斯乐，还有金山角的爱恨情愁．

接下来就是准备国外的学士课程申请及语言鉴定考试. 唉, 看来我要重新调整我的时间表了. 看来要全马力开放, 加速前进囖!

希望能尽早完成我的PORTFOLIO, 希望老板能欣然接受我的离职, 希望欠我钱的金主尽快摊还你们的债务. 唉，泛滥般的希望，就像吉隆坡的水灾～来得莫名其妙！嘿．

I were busy due to my routine task as well as my degree application. Without notice, my ChiangMai trip is just around the corner. Darm! I have no idea though. I bet I will have to go thru an impromptu trip to ChiangMai, who knows, a trip with less expectation might lead to a journey comprises of surprise (Provided got good kaki-lah! Keke..)

I would say It's an affliction to pick up certain software or scripting after u have dumped it aside for 1 or perhaps 2 years. Alas, still wondering which software I should adopt, Flash? or Director? I used to be familiar with Director, but now both of them r like Alien to me.

 

 

这影像是在上星期前往云顶途中拍的.
可以捕捉的就是那么的一瞬间.
前后几秒种, 影像已经更变了.
好珍贵的一瞬间, 同时,
好可怕的一瞬间...
因为错过了就只留下遗憾.

It's the precise moment I seen while on our way to Genting last week.
Initially, I plan to trigger few more shoots b4 we leave. However, the scenery changed within a second. Hence, I learnt tat watever passed means past, it leaves nothing but a pity．









 

当我遇上罗伯特与塞丽娜, 他们的爱意与热情感染了我.
那如同晨光般的温暖牵动了我.

我总会在不同的婚礼中遇见最美丽的女人.
每一位新娘在那神圣一刻都会化身为世上最完美的女人,
举手投足间, 无不散发着的迷人魔力.

至于新郎, 通常都是较低调的那一位, 或许,
他想把荣耀与快乐都留给至爱.

When I first met the lovely couple ~ Robert and Selina, their affection and passion grasped my heart. I believe every bride means to be the prettiest woman in the world at the very sacred moment. She will be saturated with charm.

Regarding the one she loves, her groom. He will be as low profile as he can, in order to dedicate all his glory and happiness to his love one. Hence, we learnt the dignity of love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

终于将LCA带入厕所,
当然嗰一刻我并没有便意,
只係纯粹贪玩.
我e家先知道,
疴屎嗰阵除咗睇D过期杂志之外,
如果身边咁口岩有一机在旁,
咁你就可以发挥你D创业无限,
搞嗰厕所逐格影行动.
当然, 影还影,
千祈咪俾D令人翻胃既嘢入镜,
例如话D哗鬼或者你既xx...

Instead of going thru expired reading material, u ought to conduct photo shooting when u  enjoy sitting on ur toilet bowl while detoxify process is in progress (Provided there's any camera with u). U gotta implement ur shooting discreetly in order to prevent something disgusting or annoying emerges, say jerk who's peeping on u, ur petrous / fluidic excretion or ur c_ _ k.
















某嗰早晨, 係近海皮既酒店度, 关埋度门自影.
Were conducting self-portrait.
















阴谋被识穿, 俾两只哗鬼踩场 ~ 阿猫同佢爱人健(贱)哥仔.
Being detected by jerks. They had no hesitation at all to tumble up. Phew!

终于, 我完成了进阶班最后一堂课, 与上次相比, 这次我并未感到惆怅. 最后一堂课, 我拍了一大堆烂苹果, 本质上它们并不烂, 是给我拍烂了.

涉及摄影,  我由我最爱的人文入手, 而后建筑拍摄, 随意拍摄, 大自然拍摄, 实验拍摄, 到至今的婚礼拍摄. 每当拍闷了, 就会自然而然反问自己到底要些什么? 爽? 满足感? 赞赏? 好"练"? 嘿, 这些我全都要. 当然, 视觉享受还是先抉条件, 毕竟, 这关联着我的工作.
走着走着, 忽然间, 我开始需要向别人交代很多. 这使到懒散的我感到为难. 路人甲乙丙丁开始告诉我他们如何喜欢或讨厌我的拍摄, 要我如何如何地拍摄, 要我尽量不要如何如何地拍摄.
那好吧! 我选择改变, 那我将化为主流中一部分, 毫无自己可言.
不! 我还是坚持己见, 那我想我将固步自封.

我只是想用自己的方式, 去构造故事. 我不会是一位很好的STORY TELLER, 但我却喜欢自得其乐的用自己的方式存档自己的世界. 你有要求? 那请别把你那一套附加于我, 我不是您的道具, 也不是非盈利机构.

这阵子发生了许多事情令我有所领悟, 我想我再也不该为任何人主动提议FOC工作了,这包括友人与慈善团体. 碰灰碰得多了, 再多的热情也会被扑灭. 这一厢情愿的付出, 可不见得别人懂得珍惜. 感谢你们, 抛给我现实主义的概念.

对了, 要在这里感谢恩师还有几乎每次都充当我们模特儿的征寰兄, 辛苦了.

P/S : 这里附上自己蛮喜欢的几张照片, 是于上周末友人婚礼上拍的. 要感谢这对新人的体贴, 我又过了一个很有趣的周末. 嘿, 真搞笑, 忽然觉得写BLOG就好像傻仔自言自语般写信给自己..

这个慵懒的下午, 表姐神秘悉悉的递上她的部落网址. "快看!" 她说,呵呵, 难道有好康的东西? 我想. 殊不知, 她那篇文章, 不看倒好, 一看竟叫人忧郁起来了. 的确, 与恩师送别的那晚, 在那空间里,暖色温的笼罩下, 气氛显得相当不舍. 比起刚学摄影, 现在的我方能稍微了解到他于自然界里所领悟到的禅意与生命力, 这使我更加崇拜那家伙. 我要领悟的, 还有很多.

与表姐的搞怪兵团相识也接近大半年了, 多亏她们, 我去了好几处不得了的地方, 干了许多偷鸡摸狗的勾当, 我还因此怀疑可能自己搞不好能当上个搞笑艺人呢! 呵呵呵. 表姐在文章里提到的那情节, 的确, 那时的我们是如此的纯真简单. 友好的关系中没有夹带一丝的负面因素. 嘿, 想我与多年深交之友人也甚少能遇见上述状况. 坦诚, 在这情况上是指在那天时地利人和(哈哈, 好像夸了一点)自然表达出的一种情绪抒发, 而不是激烈的掏心掏肺, 但这很好呀! 经过深思熟虑而抒发的情感,谁会稀罕? 信口开河的信誓旦旦, 谁要负责?

或许, 那纯真只是昙花一现. 也或许不就的将来, 咱们各自走向分叉路, 延续自己该走的路.将来碰上了, 可能点点头, 微微笑, 再继续的走, 就想林海峰的"细路哥"所描述一样. 当然, 这是写得比较悲观的. 但我想, 咱们大伙儿肯定会偶尔相聚, 一直戏笑胡闹下去, 然后也顺道来个有些断背嫌疑但却纯真的背对背. 呵呵呵!

* P/S : 特别鸣谢表姐所提供之照片.

本人在摧残了大机将近一年后终于硬起心肠鼓起勇气, 黯然将大机送院就医. 大致上, 本人必须在饱受两星期没有DSLR操作的煎熬下过活. 难啊!

强忍一星期后, 终于按捺不住, 从友人处把二奶接回家. 此二奶乃在下两年前购入之小机. 在购入了D70S之后, 我早已经见异思迁, 喜新厌旧, 把二奶交付于友人, 让它随着友人云游四海了.
虽然二奶功能抱歉, 但普通的V式照片还是能勉强招架. 就酱, 久别重逢的第一次就败在上周末了. 有那一刻, 我觉得二奶其实也不赖的. 还好, 至少有二奶呆在在下身边, 让在下暂时解决需求. 呵呵呵.

"还记得年少时的梦吗
像朵永远不凋零的花
陪我经过那风吹雨打
看世事无常
看沧桑变化..."

刚刚听了李宗盛版本的爱的代价,
那瞬间脑袋变的一片空白,
眼眶也潜意识的湿了.
就像与老朋友的重遇,
连带过往封尘的回忆也一并回来了.
以往对于这首歌曲并没有多大的感触,
但今天竟然多了一副莫名其妙的情感.

.....................

想以往的织梦人, 如今皆埋首现实.
年复年, 日复日, 都化为生产线机械.
毫无思考能力在不停地操作...

终于, 久违的消息来了,
它再次牵引起心中一度绽放的火花,
像掀起的涟漪, 久久不能平复.

可是, 随之而来的抉择却现实得可怕.
这选择明确地意味着放弃与付出.
行得通吗? 值得吗? 我不知道.
伴随着与生带来的责任, 我无法卸下.
至于选择的坷刻条件, 我仅能勉强应付.

工, 是辞定了, 反正已经非常厌倦.
反倒是与老板共事多年的情感碍事.

接下来, 瞧着办吧!

P/S : 有时候偶尔出现的那一道的曙光, 应该是唬烂人的吧?
