我放手了吗?Did I really let go?

请打开这音乐,然后才开始阅读内容……因为这就是我的心情

Please turn on the music and read the article…… Because this is how I feel

坐在窗边的座位,打开了窗口,啥话不说,视觉里都闪过种种景色,种种光线,脸上都充满了风带来的语言……偶尔,旁边出现了她,离开了,出现了,离开了,出现了,离开了,出现了,离开了,出现了,离开了……忘了多少次,曾多次以为,下一站就是终站,结果还是把头转向窗户那里,用触觉和视觉去聆听风的语言。

Sit next to the window, open it, nothing to say, eyes full of the views and different light which passing by, I can feel the message brought by the wind on my face…… Sometimes, she appears next to my seat , she left , she appears, she left, she appears, she left,she appears, she left…… I can’t remember how many times, always thought that the next stop is my final station, but I turn my head to the window at the end, continue listening to the wind.

决定向前走了,但是,心还没准备离开,提起了的脚步,放下后终归原地……我的心,只是一个小孩,需要时间去哄,终究对真相还是觉得残忍,学习的成熟,学习的理性,学习的办事能力,学习的理解,学习的分析,感觉只是一件衣服,学得越多,衣服越多,烦恼越多。不如,让身子赤裸,这就是我,对不起,我不会什么华丽的说话技巧;对不起,我不会怎样的去讨人欢心;对不起,或许我只会聆听而不做出太多的反应;对不起,我或许会很慢;对不起,或许只有在我的作品里,才明白,我其实一直都很多话的……

Decided to move forward, but, the heart is not yet prepared, my feet stay at the same point after all…… My heart, is just a kid, need time, feel the truth always cruel after all, learnt to be mature, learnt to be rationality, learnt to be better in skills, learnt to be understanding, learnt to be analysis, it feels just like a clothe, the more the learnt, the more the clothes, the more the troublesome. Why not, just get naked, that’s me, sorry that I don’t know how to speak the better way; sorry that I don’t know how to make someone happy; sorry that I may just keep listening without making any respond; sorry that I may slow; sorry that perhaps in my works, only you can understand, I have a lot to say actually……

大自然的语言 Nature Speak

请同时打开这两段短片。

Please open both of these clips together.

大自然的语言,是要用视觉和触觉去聆听的。

在我家对面有个小空地,相隔了十七年后,我再一次踏上这块小空地,带着小时候模糊的回忆,用我的视觉和触觉去聆听自己的语言,聆听大自然的语言。

在毛毛雨和那脏雨伞下,拍摄中我闻到了放松的味道,让我变得更集中,毫无杂念。看着照片,我知道了尊重的方式,知道了聆听的方式,知道了欣赏的方式,知道了可追求不强求的方式,知道了幸福的方式……

Language of nature, is what you need your eyes and skin to listen to them.

There is a small empty space in front of my house, after 17 years away from it, again, I stepped on it together with my fuzzy childhood,  using my visual and sense of touch to listen to my own language, listen to the language of nature.

Below the raindrops and the dirty umbrella, in the shooting I smelled the scent of relaxation, it made me even more focus, no distractions at all. Reviewing the photos, I have came to learn the ways about respecting, listening, appreciating, looking but not forcing, happiness……

 

两个人在一起是真的很不容易It’s really not easy to be together

DSC_0031

这是一幅用左手和右手同时一起画的作品,我这么做是因为我想要真正感受当不一样的人在一起的时候,相处到底是怎样的……

This artwork is drawn by both hands, I do this because I really want to feel what is it being together with other people ……

这幅画基本上分成两个部分,第一,画图,大家可以很清楚看到这作品除了五颜六色,就是还有个图案,而这图案,而是双手画成的,我一边画一边就回想起我和她刚开始交往,蜡笔彼此碰撞,起初感觉还好……可是时间越长就越不协调,这个时候,一股很熟悉的感觉浮上来,“无奈”,毕竟不能说左手或右手不好,只是步伐很不协调,时间越长,碰撞越激烈!画到心型末端时,我顿时懒惰了,也烦了,干脆就在画中剩下的空间补上一个心型的黑影以及一点点地点缀(很随便那种)。第一部分画好后……我放远一看,心情非常差……这几乎是垃圾了……感觉很不舒服,很明显后尾的部分都是一种放弃的心态完成,可是前半部虽然有不少蜡笔碰撞的笔触下很粗糙的完成,但怎么说都是有下一番功夫的。若要真完全放弃,还真的很可惜,也很不舍。愣了一下子,似乎在和自己对话……“要不要再试试看用心补救这一幅画?” 这一句话我挣扎了好一会儿,因为这也许只是把垃圾放得更大而已……然后我忽然有股感觉告诉我,“想要就用心去做,去尝试,剩下的,就顺其自然……” 就这样,我尝试选了其中两个眼色,双手开始尝试补救。画了一点,看一下……感觉好像有帮助……那么我就决定再试一试,这种心情犹如把自己放在刀边上,但是我知道我若不尽力尝试挽救,那么我脑海中就有着那么一幅可惜的图画,这,我会很不甘心的……一些时间后,总算完成,乍看之下还是觉得不如预期的好,有点小失望的感觉,可是当我放在地上打算拍照的时候,站直往地上一看,这距离似乎让我看到了这一幅画的动感和感动,原来近看是很粗糙,但是远看却有很丰富的感觉。这时候我似乎明白了一个简单的道理,那就是两个人在一起,不管怎么样都应该有点距离的,而要适当地保持这个距离的方法就是尊重。这下子我总算松下来一些了,因为我总算知道自己在整个绘画过程中,两手之间应该要学会尊重,虽然偶尔还是有冒犯的时候,但是只要彼此用心,虽然补救不是完整的等号,但是,得出来的结果永远都不会后悔的。

This artwork is made by 2 parts. First, I’m sure everyone can see it besides colours, there is also a picture within and it’s drawn by both hands too. I was drawing and thinking our first met, the crayons kept colliding, it was still good at the beginning…… But it turned out uncoordinated when time is longer. There was a feeling came to me, frustration, there was no wrong for both of hands after all, it just uncoordinated. The longer the time spending the worse the condition! Until the last part, I was kinda lazy and bothered and then i just drew a shadow and anything else as to fill up the rest of the blank space. When the 1st part done, I tried to see it from further distance, it was awful and it totally killed my mood, it was like a crap and obviously the last part of the drawing is kinda like “giving up” drawing. Although the beginning part looks rough but it is something there and it’s too bad to for totally give up. After a moment, I was kinda like talking to myself……”Why don’t you try to fix it?” I was struggling for a moment, it is because I may just enhance the crap at all…… Then I heard something, “Just do the best for what you want, let the god decide for the rest of it……” So, I chose another 2 colours and started to fix it. It seemed working and then I just keep trying, it made me felt like I was at the edge of a knife. But I know I will regret for sure if I didn’t tried my best to fix it. After the some time, it’s done. The first sight was kinda disappointed but when the moment i put it on my floor for taking photograph, in the distance of standing, I found the dynamic and inspire. It may look rough at a close distance but it will look rich at the longer distance. Through that, I came to understand that 2 different person being together, no matter how, they sure have some distance to each other, and to keep the distance the best is to respect. Now i feel relieve some, because from the drawing I had made, both hands should learn how to respect each other, although sometimes it won’t work but as long as you put heart on it, it may not the perfect one but you won’t regret after all.

要面对并解决关系中的无奈,无非就是需要彼此的互相了解,接受和尊重。我想,我更加明白了。

To solve the problem in a relationship, understanding, accept and respect are needed. I think, I get to know about it better now.

奇怪的审美和表达 Weird sense of beauty and expression

Am I alone?

她说我有个很奇怪的审美观,“至少有特色。”她接着说。一路上开车,这句话都在我脑海盘旋,当时我回应不过来,我想我不能否认我有着很奇怪的思维方式,表达方式,工作方式甚至是生活方式。一般人若和我相处,估计没有很大的耐心是不足的,因为很多时候我连自己的表达方式有无问题我自己也不太确定,想要换个说话方式,一下子又不知道该怎么做。但是我想若我希望她也对我更好,我也应该要有足够的耐心,尽可能理解她说的事情。说实在的,我真不希望这一份无奈一直这样下去。

She said I have a very weird sense of beauty, “At least you have something special.” She said then. Those words were spinning in my mind while on the way back to home, I didn’t able to respond at that time, I think I just can’t deny that I have strange mindset, expression, way of working even my life style. Normally people need to have lot of patient to live with me, it is because I might not knowing the problem of the way I talk, think to change it but I just dunno how. But if I wish she can treat me a bit better, guess I should have enough patient for her and her stuffs. Honestly, I don’t really hope the frustration keep going in the days coming.

 

Am I in the dark?

一回到家,我就觉得我该把她觉得奇怪的局部室内设计的想象画出来,虽然我无法画得犹如室内设计师般的图,但是我想这幅图画应该足以表达我的感受,就以我个人的观点来看,我还真觉得当中有着很明显的无奈。

若你喜欢,请看,若你理解,请读,若你反感,请忽视。

Once I’m back, I felt like draw it out which she felt weird about it, although I can’t draw like an interior designer, but I think this is enough for representing my feeling. From what I know, I can really feel the frustration obviously within the artwork.

If you like it, see it, if you understand, read it, if you disagree, just ignore it.

昨晚我没什么睡意,加上最近没什么工作,闲得很,便尝试在网上搜索“philosoart”,嗯,前几页都是自己的东西,可是后面我开始发现到了很有趣的事情,原来我的作品在我不知情的情况下已经飘到不同的国家和人的网站里。

I didn’t felt like sleeping last night, plus, nothing much to do recently, kinda free, so I tried to google “philosoart” , hmm… They’re all my stuffs for the first few pages, but I found something really interesting after those pages. It seems that my works had been went so far into other countries and people’s website without my knowledge.

照片被偷去用在不当的用途的经验我有,可是昨晚这些情况却让我有少少地莫名兴奋,我想关键是对方借图而非偷图,因为照片底下都会写上是谁的作品。说实在,我相信很多人都和我一样,都喜欢分享自己的作品,可惜的是许多人却不懂得珍惜照片的可贵,甚至滥用。

I had the experience where my photo stolen for bad things, but the condition last night had made me felt a bit excited, I think the point is people just borrow it but not steal it, it is because they will mention my name at the bottom of my works. Honestly, I believe a lot of people have the same mind of mine which we love to share our works, but the sad thing is most of the people don’t know how to appreciate it, some even abuse it.

网络上的照片怎么说都是不安全的,总有人会偷,我想至少别让对方滥用或者别让自己看到就很不错了。毕竟目前来说,我国的摄影保障法律有很多处漏洞。希望党对方有意使用别人的图的时候别忘了尊重自己的人格和他人的作品价值。

Photos in the net is not really safe after all, someone will steal it eventually, at least no abuse or don’t let oneself know about it is already good enough. It’s because the law about the protection of photography still not that completed. Hopefully if someone is thinking to use some other people’s works, never forget to respect own and people’s work’s value.

看着自己的作品慢慢长大,这感觉很妙,你觉得呢?

Look at my own works grow up, it’s wonderful, don’t you think so?

 

若要照片有价值,请尊重摄影的工作

或许我很重视这一份工作,哦不,这不算是工作,这是我的生活方式,对,我很重视目前的生活方式。

在最近的两场摄影的过程中,一样的场地,略差的天气和时候,不一样的人,让我明白到一件很重要的东西,那就是兴趣。

兴趣这东西常常会被很多人利用在责任的秤砣上衡量,但,我相信很多人心中应该或多或少都曾经疑问过:“责任,到底是什么东西?”

我自小似乎就和责任这二字离不开,所以对此东西是既反感但却好奇。

我曾经问过一个做直销成绩还不赖的朋友,“直销即便是一种分享,但其实分享只是一种方式/手段,说穿了不就是交易的其中一种,对吧?”我的朋友顿时做出很大的否认说他做直销,是一种学习,分享,在一个自己觉得正确的事件上很投入地去做。“其实若我的下线越多,我就越劳累,毕竟这已经是我的责任,一种扶持他人的责任。” 嗯,这说法还不错,我继续再问:“那么是什么东西让你如此投入,如果说你自己目前在做的事情是其他而不是直销,但是都和以上的想法一致?”“兴趣。”这是他给我的答案,也让我很透彻地进一步看懂了责任和兴趣的关系。

人活着都是要吃东西的,但是并不是说只是为了吃东西而活着,在人生这二字之间有着很主要的联系和动力元素,好让自己不会行尸走肉般地活着……其中一种重要的元素就是兴趣。

“只有无知的人才会把兴趣和生存拿来做比较”,这是我近日所体悟到的哲学。其实大家也不难看得出来,一般上这种人都会让自己觉得人生的无奈和无趣大过于很多东西,甚至还说,不能生存何来兴趣?那么我反问:“没有兴趣,如何生存?”其实两者都没错,因此也可以这么说:“只有天真的人才懂得把兴趣和生存并存起来。”

那么,也就是说,兴趣就是代表着一种价值的存在。

DSC_0112bw

DSC_0156bw

DSC_0250bw

DSC_0292bw

我的兴趣是摄影,我的责任是让我的兴趣提供我生存的基本条件,我的责任是确保生存的条件不会和兴趣向冲。因为兴趣=责任=生存=责任=兴趣。对自己的生活感到无趣/兴趣缺乏的人,估计生命力都颇弱的。

而我所谓的兴趣不仅仅是喜欢,而是动力,某种价值意义,这和Steve Jobs所说的“Stay hunger, stay foolish”哲学的原动力是一样的。

而我的作品都是代表着自己的价值,因此若不被尊重理解或欣赏,那么也就是说在对方眼中,摄影是小孩儿的玩意儿,是没有什么价值的。同样的对摄影师本身也一样,若不懂得尊重自己的作品,那么这称不上完整地兴趣,最多只是三分钟的兴趣/尝试。

而这一些不懂得尊重作品也得不到尊重的人来说:“只有无知的人才会把兴趣和生存拿来做比较”是合情合理的。

我就是不能用你的严肃完成工作

这三张照片很充分地提醒我,工作的价值在哪里。基本上在三个地方:值得,开心,投入。

天底下大部分人都认为,饿肚子的时候是否能够考虑到这三个地方?我想说,可以的。当然,这个秤每个人都会不同。

对我来说,肚子饿和这三点是一样重的。少了这三点,即便肚子饿也不会有什么胃口,又或者会暴饮暴食;相反的,因为这三点,即便是路边摊,我已经很满足了。

我曾经发现过一件很有趣的事情,那就是当一个人心情不好的时候,就会有些举动来平衡自己,比如说吃东西,睡觉,购物逛街甚至是自慰。换句话说,也就是通过人的举动来安慰自己的内心。一把钞票固然能够安慰到自己,但是别忘了,这钞票是从自己的口袋捞出来的,所以才会有购物狂。

所以,我一直都尝试理解,能不能做一件事情,同时找糊口吃,同时能够满足自己的心情。兜兜转转,我终于知道敬业乐业是:值得,开心和投入,这包括了工作量的适度,缺一不可。

我的作品或许没有重口味般的编辑,或许没有神级般的改头换脸技术,或许没有华丽梦幻的效果……这都是因为我只是很纯粹地要如何将对方连同他个人的价值放进一张照片,呈现出来,完全是一张属于自己的照片,绝对只有在上一秒才有的照片。

ps: 如果我十年后拍摄的照片和十年前一样,那么我觉得摄影真的失去了最基本的价值,说得难听点,只不过是一架流动三合一彩色复印机。而这价值并不在摄影里,而是在内心里。

 

拍照只是让我感动

DSC_0013

若形象是专业的必需品,若性格是成功的必需品,那么,我的形象是纯朴简单,因为我心思不在形象,而在性格上,感觉上,所以在某种专业程度上来说,我是成功的。

我的作品就是我的形象

我的气息就是我的形象

我的生活方式就是我的性格

我的性格就是我的成功

我的成功只不过是我的感觉。

曾经问过自己,为何要摄影?因为一张照片,静静地感动了我,无数的文字仅在一种感觉上的传达,然而却也那么刚好,舒服。

我常常计划多一些,固然不能完成,但是我的计划只是希望可以感动我多一些。

拍照            只是               一刹那的留住                        永恒的感动                                         这                                                   就是我的拍照动力和哲学。
