12-12-11 & 12-12-12

去年的客戶在面子書上傳了一張我在她婚禮上拍的照片。才發覺，原來我 12－12－11 和 12－12－12 都在拍婚禮。那我希望我能過活過世界末日，然後 12－12－13 也拍個婚禮！

話說我好一陣子沒拍底片了，今天再把 Minolta Hi-Matic 7SII 拿出來看看能不能用，結果能！爽啊！

Moment from Let's Start From Home.

This photo was taken while I was on my travel documentary project around Sabah. Kids are sea professional. Their after school past time is catching fish for dinner. Please spend 8 minutes watching this story from my home, Sabah.

Let's Start From Home 。從心出發

我2000畢業中學後，感激媽媽的無私奉獻，把我送到了澳洲。接下來的五年，看的東西是一輩子也忘不了的回憶。

終於，我回家了。斷斷續續地嘗試了一些不一樣的工作，畢業了十年最後決定走攝影紀錄這條路。我開始透過攝影去紀錄旅行，紀錄婚禮，紀錄生活。慢慢地，發現自己收集了好多好多不同國家的故事。在整理的時候，我發現我沒有我家的故事。我不知道和我住在同一片土地上的人，是過著怎樣的生活。

John Lynch 在紀錄片 'Abroad' 說過這麼一句：“ When does a tourist become a traveler? ” 於是我開始收集故事。在擬定了用旅行紀錄故事這個大方向之後，我為這件小事取了一個自己覺得還不賴的小名字，叫《從心出發》。

一個月前，我帶著兩位心愛的助手出發了，一路向北。從電話訊號的消失到沒有電流供應，從出發前茶店的廁所到對著星星沖涼，住在同一片土地上的我們，對生活和未來卻抱著那麼不一樣的心情。

第一集，也就是這集。我希望你可以把生命中寶貴的八分鐘讓給我。請認清楚那些原住民小孩子的臉，因為他們將會是這個貪婪的社會的犧牲品，在他們自己還沒有發覺的時候，他們已經無路可走，無家可回。誰能幫幫他們？

After my high school graduation in year 2000, my great selfless mother sent me to Australia for the next 5 years, to study and to experience things I will never forget for the rest of my life.

In 2006, I finally came home. After a few searches and tryouts, I decided to record life through the eyes of my lens. I started recording travels, weddings and life. Then I noticed I have collected so many stories from so many different countries but none from my home, the place where I grow up. I didn't even know what kind of life those who live with me on this land are experiencing.

John Lynch in his documentary 'Abroad' asked 'When does a tourist become a traveler?' I then started to put together some puzzles. After having generated a direction of recording stories through traveling, I gave my little project a little name, 'Let's Start From Home'.

About a month ago, I started my first journey with 2 great assistants heading to the north of Borneo. It was amazing, how those who live with us on the same land, has so different point of view towards life from ours.

This is my first story on this land that I care. I hope you can spare me your valuable 8 minutes, to remember faces of those young kids. Because they will be sacrificed by the greedy world and before they even notice, they will have nowhere to go, no home to return. Can somebody help them?

我喜歡所以我跟！I Love It So I Follow!

Japan Camera Hunter 很常在做這件事情，那天心血來潮決定跟跟風，看看自己能拍到幾個！就叫我的“第n個包包“。

第一個包包，Stephennie 楊。

He/She does it a lot, over 300 of pictures of them! I am trying to see how many I can shoot this kind of pictures inspired by the Japan Camera Hunter! Let's call mine 'nth Bag Stalked'.

1st Bag Stalked, Stephennie Yong

那好的，我回來。

自由的空氣

以前對人像看了又看，把談論人像攝影的內容讀了再讀，覺得大家都好強。有些寫的是中文，我以為是外語，因為深得看不懂！可是就是有寫人像讓我回味無窮，只是那時候根本解釋不了為甚麼喜歡那些照片。這幾年多虧攝影把我帶到更多不同的地方，看到了更多不同的人文和環境。我才慢慢發現，自己喜歡的人像，好像非得要有至少那麼一點點的 “自由的空氣”。這只是我對自己的重大發現，可能你根本不知道我在放的是甚麼屁，呵呵！

因為愛情

趕啊趕，趕啊趕，趕完 KL 趕 Langkawi！

那攝影師如果滿腦笑料，那含情脈脈要怎麼拍？呵呵！

方向。Storyteller Creative Factory

我這半年常常在開車吃飯躺著聊天上網的時候，頭腦想著同一個問題。我該怎麼走下一步？

我走到書店，開始看起那些平時都不怎麼看的書。我見到朋友，開始問起那些平時都不問的問題。

這不是一個人的事情。這是整個大環境的所能讓你和我看見的。某某婚紗攝影棚把價錢丟得亂七八糟，人神共憤。某某攝影棚不還租金被趕走，人神共憤。某某攝影棚到處散播謠言，人神共憤。可是美好的事情也在不斷發生著。八月又有新的婚紗攝影棚開張。朋友告訴我說自己還在維持他的攝影展示單位。

我開始喜歡上攝影說故事這回事，其中一個原因是看了一張朋友拍的照片，差點掉淚。於是我花了兩天一夜浸在他的生活當中，試圖透過生活和對話找到自己想走的下一步。他從來沒讓我失望過。

還好，我有你們。

嗨！你好！我叫偉興。我的小小創意空間快完工啦！

餓三天！

有機會我要用電話拍食物做一本目錄，呵呵！看看哪一間願意做白老鼠。

我還在拍，不斷地拍。

很多時候，大環境需要大家齊心打造。在這座還在互相打擊的城市里，要讓攝影變成一件快樂的事，變成一件人人都能珍惜的事，還需要好多好多的時間。

我只能繼續拍，不斷地拍，期望在這條路上，能遇見更多真心願意讓攝影變成大家的事情的人。

BlackRapid Featured Photographer Program，謝了！

借我你的手。Lend Me Your Hands

這世界值得留下的瞬間太多，要記住的感動也是。我不可能能夠把它們全都捕捉下來，別人也不一定願意讓我這麼做。最好的方式，就是分享。分享捕捉畫面的喜悅；分享照片十年後的珍貴；分享自我增值的機會。把懂的，都讓你知道。這樣，我就能借著你的手，看見更多的感動，更多的瞬間，和更多的永遠。

There are so much in this world worth remembering, so much that it is impossible for me alone to capture them all. People may not allow me to as well. So the best way to to share. To share the joy of capturing, to share the value of pictures from today 10 years later and to share the opportunity of self improvement. That way, I get to see more through your hands, more love, more moments and more everlasting stories.

生病了吧？

我以前把自己免費丟出去，都沒有一位攝影師願意帶我去體會婚宴和派對攝影。今天走過來了，也沒有要你做免費的，你是不是應該把重心放在學習和機會那裡？ 我以前被教練操得小便出血，也沒哼一聲。後來我當上了最佳球員。今天你不繼續練習，是因為你覺得我給你臉色看？那你回家。我是教練，不是老豆。 這種現象，只會讓整個環境的水準下降。

Save Malaysia

I am not a law professional, neither an experienced politician. I am also not a well-known analyst. Hi, my name is Skyler and I am a Malaysian.

This is how I look at Lynas coming in to Malaysia. Someone has received a lot of money to make this happen even when fellow Malaysians say no.

1. Lynas cannot fail. Should Lynas fail, that someone will be found out eventually.

2. That someone cannot get caught because if he does, he will reveal the person from cow project.

3. Person from cow project cannot get arrested because if she does, she will reveal the person who threw

our fellow Malaysian off the window.

4.   The person who threw our fellow Malaysian off the window cannot get arrested because if he does,

he will reveal who bombed the Mongolian lady into pieces.

5.   The person who bombed the Mongolian lady into pieces cannot get caught because he is does, he will reveal the person who stole fellow Malaysians’ money through buying a faulty submarine.

6.   The person who bought the faulty submarine cannot get arrested because if he does, he will

reveal the person behind the lost of a fighter jet engine.

7.   The person who stole the engine cannot get caught because if he does, he will reveal how much

our formal prime minister earned from selling our land with oil to Brunei.

And above all these, our Prime Minister is caught using our money to polish his already ruined image through UK Channel.

In a company, if you are caught using company fund for own purpose, you are to be sacked and reported to the police for further investigation.

In a school, if you are caught using class fund for own purpose, you are to be punished by the discipline master and parents are to meet with the headmaster.

Our prime minister though, is sitting there, safe and sound after what he has done.

To me, this is a chain of dirty activities, like the drain at your backyard. Cleaning one part does not correct the situation. Clean it all up is the solution.

You might wonder why the government is still ruling. They give local identity card to immigrants provided they vote for them. They cash out 500 to many to earn votes and stopped the monthly support on old folks in order to get the money to do it. They are buying their votes, and integrity of those who are bought.

I am not here to cause illegal riots or activities. I am just telling you what I tell myself. What do I tell myself? I say ‘Change the government, change our leader’.

Hi, I am Skyler. I am 100% Malaysian Chinese who belongs nowhere else but here in Malaysia. Today, I stand firm and proud, telling the world, and myself, ‘Change the Government, change our leader, change it all. Then, we can save Malaysia, our home’.

40萬的學習

到這一刻為止，已經上了四份報紙，網絡也瘋狂地在傳著。

好消息是，失去聯絡多年地朋友也找到我了。

老哥說，不明白為甚麼一些人會有一種邏輯，覺得送演唱會票就能讓我們自費機票和住宿過去免費表演。

喜歡的朋友，謝謝你們了。不喜歡的，辛苦了，呵呵！

殘忍的事

今天做了一件殘忍的事。大部份球員出席率不及格，我取消了代表學校出隊比賽這件大事。 苦了一直在努力的你們。

身後的世界

把《那些年》在一月一號看了，笑得亂七八糟。笑戲里面的十七歲，笑陪妳走路為妳撐傘還被妳罵。《那些年》，妳說效應好大。

新的一年，我把一年分成五十二個七天，用五十二種方式把自己紀錄起來。新的第一個七天，和妳分享第一種方式 －－ 身後的世界。

走過的路，是雕塑自己的過程。

妳過得很好。
