作为刚参加工作的小fish，决心以更大的热情和饱满的信心迎接挑战！

 

以前的小气馁通通都甩掉！Fighting!!!

 

 

 

'Cause if the lights go out on all of us

 

 

    想看这部电影由来已久了，因为曾深深迷恋和向往战地记者这个职业，故夜黑风高天，顶着风去参加记录堂的放映活动。

 

    战地摄影师，一个冷酷的职业，我觉得丝毫不逊色于杀手狙击手之类角色。如果你面对这战争的残酷，成堆的尸体，哭泣的妇女儿童，身临枪林弹雨，还能不动声色冷静从容地不断按下相机快门，那么恭喜你，有从事此职业的潜质。看着画面中失去儿子痛哭的母亲，失去一侧肢体的男人，群居火车旁的人群，还有那些流离失所的孩子，硫磺山辛苦工作的工人，我不断忍耐着想哭的冲动。是否面对太多人间惨剧所能选择的只能是冷漠？一个人的内心是否能强大到承担这常人无法忍受的一切？如果到最后，发现的只是自己的冷酷，无力，生命的彼此践踏和吞噬，还有勇气活下去吗？

 

    James Nachtwey的话给出了一些解答：

 

"Every minute I was there, I wanted to flee. I did not want to see this. Would I cut and run, or would I deal with the responsibility of being there with a camera." 

 

"There has always been war. War is raging throughout the world at the present moment. And there is little reason to believe that war will cease to exist in the future. As man has become increasingly civilized, his means of destroying his fellow man have become ever more efficient, cruel and devastating. Is it possible to put an end to a form of human behavior which has existed throughout history by means of photography? The proportions of that notion seem ridiculously out of balance. Yet, that very idea has motivated me.For me, the strength of photography lies in its ability to evoke a sense of humanity. If war is an attempt to negate humanity, then photography can be perceived as the opposite of war and if it is used well it can be a powerful ingredient in the antidote to war. In a way, if an individual assumes the risk of placing himself in the middle of a war in order to communicate to the rest of the world what is happening, he is trying to negotiate for peace. Perhaps that is the reason why those in charge of perpetuating a war do not like to have photographers around."

 

"It has occurred to me that if everyone could be there just once to see for themselves what white phosphorous does to the face of a child or what unspeakable pain is caused by the impact of a single bullet or how a jagged piece of shrapnel can rip someone's leg off - if everyone could be there to see for themselves the fear and the grief, just one time, then they would understand that nothing is worth letting things get to the point where that happens to even one person, let alone thousands.But everyone cannot be there, and that is why photographers go there - to show them, to reach out and grab them and make them stop what they are doing and pay attention to what is going on - to create pictures powerful enough to overcome the diluting effects of the mass media and shake people out of their indifference - to protest and by the strength of that protest to make others protest."

 

     离苦难太近。面对这些，他必须控制自己的情绪。

 

     唯一困扰他的，就是自己的内心。害怕有一天让这些苦难成为成名或牟利的工具而出卖了自己的灵魂。"The worst thing is to feel that as a photographer I am benefiting from someone else's tragedy. This idea haunts me. It is something I have to reckon with every day because I know that if I ever allow genuine compassion to be overtaken by personal ambition I will have sold my soul. The stakes are simply too high for me to believe otherwise." “I attempt to become as totally responsible to the subject as I possibly can. The act of being an outsider aiming a camera can be a violation of humanity. The only way I can justify my role is to have respect for the other person's predicament. The extent to which I do that is the extent to which I become accepted by the other, and to that extent I can accept myself.” 尊重他们的困境，是接受自己的唯一途径。

 

     极度自省。成为一名称职的摄影师，我相信这是比勇敢更重要的品质。

 

     最近关于纪录片拍摄者的职业道德及角色扮演讨论很热，南方周末的文章《苦难，如果仅是为了震撼》里面的一段话说的很好，“直接表现苦难是最简单的，如果仅是为了触目惊心，去展示视觉刺激，而不考虑自己的照片对被拍摄者生活的影响、人格的损害，这样的心态是很可怕的。因此，要有点忌讳。”

 

     是为警醒。

 

 

"I have been a witness, and these pictures are

my testimony. The events I have recorded should

not be forgotten and must not be repeated."

You can't always get what you want, but if you try hard, you get what you need.

2007 is nearly ended and 2008, what everybody in Beijing is excited about, is coming soon. What do we learn from 2007 and what is your expectation in 2008?

 

My conclusion of my 2007 is half bright and half dark. The bright part is that I realized some parts of my plans, like driving, travelling aboard, practice, and I really enjoy the jonery and made a lot of interesting friends. The dark side is a little bit annoying, unexpected, like staying home for almost 3 months and cannot moving without the plastic leg, my mood was uncontrollingly down down down. Thanks for friends companying me. Although the unexpected accident disruptted some parts of my plan, it is nothing to complain about, it is life, anything happened is possible, you just face it and try to get it through.

 

Well well well, get it short,  my 2007 is overall happy with a little bug, and I am expecting a brand new start in 2008!

All the best and luck with all my friends, chaozi is gonna together with you!

      其实拄拐走路一点也不累，就是磨得胳臂疼。世纪坛，在售票MM的一再坚持建议下，租了个轮椅坐，当了个小残疾人，看到比我年纪大的老人，真有点不好意思。。。

     苏格兰当代银器设计展的瓶瓶罐罐很有特色，好像有那样线条优美的银器盛咖啡，放水果^^ 大猪喜爱的设计^^

     Julian Schnabel的“拼盘”画展

 

     Julian Schnabel的画展有些抽象，很多层次，不同的材料。有些画看起来像一个大的夹心蛋糕，填满了巧克力，奶油，果冻或者到处油污充满污迹的厨房（都和吃的有关。。。ORZ），看起来有些更像随意的涂鸦。。。

    

     回家查了一下，果然，这家伙曾在纽约格林威治村的餐馆中作过快餐厨师。。。。。。不过他更有名的应该是因导演了新片《潜水钟和蝴蝶》获今年第60届戛纳电影节的最佳导演奖吧

 

   

 

 

     It's a beautiful fun day! Thax, ^@^
