摄影很累。Photography Is Tiring


摄影很累。在这片土地上更是。你的照片少了头和脚,人家说你只爱胸部。你只爱拍女生的脚趾,人家说你性变态。你拍了一个在床上露背的照片,人家说你和模特儿道德沦落。怎么不累?你必须把胸部调到完全看不到,你必须拍很脏很脏的脚趾去转移他们的视线,你也必须为露背照的背景换成沙滩。而当你累完之后,那时候他们就会问道:“怎么这个摄影师一点个人风格也没有?”
去你的。
P.S. 妈,我不是说你。你老一辈,我能明白。

Photography is tiring. Even worse at where we are now. You snap a photo without head and legs, they say you are a typical breasts lover. You snap only chicks' toes, they say you are a sex maniac. You snap the bare back of a lady in bed, they degrade you and the model. No wonder photographers are tired, you need to darken the photo till nobody sees no breast. You need to snap a very dirty toe to draw their attention away. You need to edge out the lady and paste her on a beach to make them think it is healthy. And after all the work, in the end they will ask," Why doesn't this photographer have his or her own style?"
Damn you.
P.S. Mom, I'm not talking about you. You are from another generation so it's okay.

我只给你三分钟。You Only Worth My 3 Minutes


好不容易等到你的来信,
I waited so long for you,

却发现自己傻得可以。
and realise how stupid I was.

我在这里为你流了多少的泪,
So many tears I dropped for you,

你却让我无言以对。
and I lose you in return.

给亲爱的我,你把爱给了她。
To dear Bev, but you love Beryl.

这里是我们相识的地方,
This is where we first met,

今天过后我会离它远去。
I will leave before you know.

熟悉的音乐,
Same music,

不熟悉的心情。
different soul.

我用你教的动作,
I dance those moves you taught,

努力地向前跳去。
I move so strong.

我知道不容易,
I know this is not easy,

但我知道我可以。
but I know I can let go.

两分钟前对你的坚定,
My love for you two minutes ago,

我会用来对我自己。
I will use it on my own.

我会用行动证明,
And you will know,

没有你,我也会好好地活下去!
I can live well without you!

三分钟已过去,
Three minutes is over,

我把对你的思念留在原地。
I leave all our memories behind.

就当我从未认识你。
I never met you.

病!我只给你三分钟。Sick! You Only Worth My 3 Minutes

医生说我很厉害,H1N1流感的症状集于一身的我还有本事自己开车去求救。如果今天情况还没好转的话就要去医院了。还好身体感觉比较好了。今早爬起身和西马读书的朋友拍了一个系列,还可以。

Doctor was impressed. Of all the symptoms of H1N1, people normally get 1 or 2 of them and I have them all. If I do not recover by today, I will need to go to hospital. Fortunately, I feel better now. In fact I woke up early this morning for a shooting session with a friend who studies in KL.


我只给你三分钟。

You only worth my 3 minutes.
