異鄉、月落

偶在異鄉見月落，愁上加愁。

願君在天國中安息！

Hugh Van Es, may you rest heavenly in peace!

我一向覺得戰地記者是最值得敬仰的一群。他們追求的不是名，不是利；不單與家人及朋友長期分開，更要身陷險景：近年在一些戰時中，記者更加是攻擊的對象！他們為的，只是把真相以影像方式赤裸裸地展示，不擺佈不加個人意見……

這才是攝影呀！

不禁又想起何志遠常問的：What is photo? Photo is what?

夜思潮

昨夜星晨昨夜詩
抱酒笑談當歌意
今宵月影今宵情
低頭不語聽風嘯

I Dreamed a Dream - Susan Boyle

在 Youtube 上的片段

一個來自農村，又胖又醜的中年婦，在台上宣佈自己的夢想是當一個如 Elaine Page 般的成功歌手。她說，在近半個世記的人生中，她未嘗遇上任何能實驗夢想的機會；攝影機同時捕捉台下主持及觀眾的輕蔑神情......

她開腔了，唱的是 "I Dreamed a Dream"。歌的大意是：自幼的夢想因生活的折騰而未能完夢，在控訴生活的悲傷；在呼喚上天給予機會.....

她唱的就是自己的故事。

台下如雷動的掌聲隱藏著無言.....原來世間真的是有懷材而不遇，沒有機會就是沒有機會。沒有騙人！這現實恐怕是台下幸運的一群人沒法體會的。

藩籬

外面的天好像很藍呀！眼前藩籬卻是那高高的，可以衝破嗎？跳過去可以嗎？飛過去可以嗎？還是低微地在藩籬下爬過去？

想不通。

Don't cry out loud

I just love this song, especially the chorus:

------
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost made it

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Tough trees

Trees are tough.

When there are obstacles, trees will wait patiently for the obstacles to disappear.

If obstacles persist, trees will try the way around it, and embrace the obstacles as part of the tree trunk.

Wish I were them.

念, 國皇!

640x480 - 問號

與其停留在內心的問號世界中, 何不出外走走闖闖?

64, 18 年

又一年, 燭淚仍漣漣. 問何年, 正義才得以伸張?

君子坦荡荡，小人长戚戚

這網站作如是解釋:

"君子光明磊落，不忧不惧，所以心胸宽广坦荡；小人患得患失，忙于算计，又每每庸人自扰，疑心他人算计自己，所以经常陷于忧惧之中，心绪不宁。 "

Does Evil Exists?

Get the following story from a chain mail. Don't know if this is a true story or not, but certainly worth thinking about it.

--------
One day, a professor of a university decided to defy his pupils.

He asked : "did God create everything that exists?"
A student answered bravely: "yes, He did."
"Everything?" asked the teacher.
"Yes, everything." Was the answer of the student.
"In this case, God also created evil, correct? Because evil exists." Said the teacher…
To that, the student had no answer and remained in silence.

The teacher was delighted at the opportunity to prove one more time that faith was only a myth.

Suddenly, another student raised his hand and asked: “May I ask you a question, professor?”
"Of course", was the answer.
"Does cold exist?"
"Of course," answered the professor "Did you never feel cold?"
"Actually, sir, cold does not exist. According to studies in Physics, cold is the total and complete absence of heat.
"An object can only be studied if it has and transmits energy and it is the heat of an object that transmits it's energy.
"Without heat, the objects are inert, incapable to react. But cold does not exist. We created the term cold to explain the lack of heat"
"And darkness?" , continues the student.
"It exists", replied the professor
"Again, you're wrong sir, darkness is the total absence of light.
"You can study light and brightness, but not darkness.
"The prism of Nichols shows the variety of different colors in which the light can be decomposed according to the longitude of the waves.
"Darkness is the term we created to explain the total absence of light"
And finally, the student asked: "And evil, sir, does evil exist?"
"God did not create evil. Evil is the absence of God in people's hearts, it is the absence of love, humanity and faith.
"Love and faith are like heat and light. They exist.
"Their absence lead to evil"

Now it was the professor's turn to remain silent..

The name of the student was : ALBERT EINSTEIN

天公地道

陳亦迅的新歌。很久沒有這樣o岩聽的歌了:
----
天公地道

曲：徐偉賢
詞：黃仲凱
編：Davy Chan / C.Y.
監：Davy Chan / C.Y. / Eason Chan

沒有際遇會預告　輪到你才會輪到
你攀不上　高貴的國度
未夠老但努力行快了半步
終於使你被稱作好事之徒

大智慧未有學到　矛盾處才會來到
最終宣判　可笑的噩耗
幻覺破滅了　現實卻使你不知所措
世界　能令你　自動變身被告 Oh...

＊這一刻　你壞了氣數　置身一片大霧　別期望會搏到
　抖一抖　讓有變無　退出這線路　重投你喜好
　兜一圈　也未算劫數　抹走這串問號　微笑裡過渡會更好＊

這種天國高攀不到　沒甚麼可以投訴

在哪裡獨個漫舞　流放到誰個懷抱
你總可以　輕快的散步
視野變換了　命運也不是這麼深奧
世界　仍在轉　日後再可上訴 Oh...
Repeat＊

這種審判憤慨不到　沒地方給你投訴

偏偏世界　是這種制度
越放膽說　越說越說　你代價便更高
如何突破這四面環抱
你要找的公道　雖說還未碰到　前面有路

轉一轉　你混帳氣數　撥開這片大霧　未來自會看到
抖一抖　換個嗜好　找新的去路　重投你喜好
兜一圈　你未會變老　勇敢些去讓步
在轉角會遇上更好　一生機遇總猜不到（猜不到）

轉一轉　你混帳氣數　撥開這片大霧　能勇退也未算太糟
天空海闊總可找到　為什麼需要煩躁

沒有痛的感覺是最痛

東方吹來的海風，吹不動手背的毫毛。
盛夏烈日的光芒，暖不透頸項的血脈。
音箱傳來的妙韻，震不動沈重的耳鼓。
屏幕上災難影像，觸不起絲微的感動。

欲道盡生活的不快，
指頭亂往鍵盤上敲，
呆看著眼前的閃光，
忽而模糊，執筆而無言。

該痛的怎麼不痛？該悲的怎麼不哭？
望望藍天吹吹秋風，甚麼感覺也沒有了。

原來最痛的感覺是不再懂得痛。

Bye history!

白頭到老的幸福

搭巴士途上看見的一雙老戀人。全車程足四十分鐘吧，不是頭靠頭便是頭依偎著肩。雖互不交談，但甜蜜之意盡在不言中。

幸福不就是那麼簡單嗎？

重遊愛民村

 

一個我生活了二十年的地方. 至今未有多大的改變. 感覺, 很是親切. 

七年不變

 

第一次拍他, 是1999年的事, 當年還未加入 NPC, 他的照片是我第一幅post到 newsgroup 的, 所以印象深刻. 當然, 我拍他之前他已經在那麼不知多少年了.

這七年間, 他從沒間斷在同一位置出現, 做著人性最低微的角色. 樣貌, 衣著, 以至用的器具都沒有多大的變化.

不變, 是好事還是壞事? 

End of dark tunnel

 

Been in the darkness of the tunnel for a while. Do I really see the lights in the end? Or is it an illusion?
