好久没有这样哗啦哗啦的掉泪了。
(勿担心,我不难过, 只是被电影影响而已!)

今天看了一部电影,又勾起了我对于 回忆,时间 和 人生 的一些启发和感动。

回家的路上我突然间又想起了某个痛处, 一边开车一边哗啦哗啦地哭了。而今早我又感到了摸名的灵感,带了朋友送我的手帕插在裤子旁边的口带。

原来是种预言,手帕真的派上了用场耶。

when i am happy i take photos. when i am sad i take photos. oddly enough, the photos quite often turn out happy when i am sad and sad when i am happy. whichever happens, the process and the outcome usually work together as a healing experience, making me really feel better as a result. photography heals.

摄影能疗伤。

在哗啦哗啦的当而, 我想起了数年前我也在回家的路途上感伤的事件,又想起了当时拍下的感觉,一到家后屏了命去寻找那一套画面, 在差一点放弃的时候然我找到了。感谢主,若我找不到我一定睡不安。

几个小时前,为了记念再一度感受到回家时感处累累的经历,我再红灯前停车时用手机拍的:

零六年四月雨天。
在巴士公车即将到终站相机的单眼陪着我的双眼一起漠糊时拍的:

刚刚发现:原来我在那个时候就开时倾向我近日常用的漠糊式摄影了。真奇妙!

其实我看电影也蛮容易被感动到哭的。mamma-mia 也可以把我弄哭,我真的是赢了咯,哈。 (可是今天看的当然不是 mamma-mia 啦。。)

现在终于可以平安入睡了。


。 。 。 哦,现在真的跟零六年的那一天一样---突然下起倾盆大雨了!


我得去关窗了!晚安!

i have always loved living near the sea/straits/coast and occasionally when quite far and quite away, the ocean.

坐在海边吹海风的感觉真爽。

实在地实现?

我想,设计也包括帮忙他人实实在在地完成他们只能够在脑里想或言语上形容的概念吧。不懂这想法会不会有一点阿Q?

说走就走!

今天终于有机会继续读我在台湾的SEVEN买的书。 那是本关于一对父子用步行环绕台湾全岛的真实记绿。 看着书中的爸爸拍摄的照片, 我突然感觉到一个要翻翻我自己不久前在台湾所拍摄的画面的冲动。很奇秒, 原本累透的我竟然又充满了熬夜的力量。 我想这也算是种爱的动力吧!感谢主赐给我这种因爱创造而比较不会累的力量。可是我毕竟还是人, 明天必需上任另一种创造之类的工作, 今晚还是先休息明晚再继续比较对自己对工作负责任吧。

那台湾的照片就得拭目以待咯。。。

(just had to let this out of my mind before going quite far and quite away and looking for other maybe better ways to translate this feeling photographically. see you all in 20 days!)

the tree that kenahded // while i was not far, but away.

yw-080621-fallentreeagain-0002.JPG

this was one of the first things i noticed the morning after i got back from genting last friday. i took a photo then and some line from a jack johnson song floated to mind. i checked on it again this morning after talking about it last night or rather some time earlier this morning. the tree didn't resurrect. some construction work has been going on at the front of this secret fenced up field i spy on from my window. i just hope they don't kill the field into another mammoth condo....just like the one i live in.

at least the mysterious grass circles i quite often wonder about are still there... but i guess they might have once been great trees too...
