本事。Capability

Photography POV: I have been messing around with DSLR close to about 10 years now, from loving only Olympus to only not buying Canon, then shooting from digital to film and analysing light from natural light to flash then to chasing the perfect light. All this while, everything in my life has been revolving around this amazing hobby that I picked up. Sometimes I wonder, is it me having fun with photography, or is it photography having fun with my life?

攝影沈思:認真拿起單眼開始學習攝影快十年。從只愛Olympus到只剩Canon不買,再從數碼拍到銀鹽,也從分析自然光到閃光打燈再到追逐最美光線時刻。只要是有關攝影,不管是生活還是工作都是圍繞著這個自我感覺非常良好的嗜好在做調適。是自己在玩攝影,還是攝影在玩自己?

身邊有個孩子今年十八歲。印象中他在十五歲左右就輟學,應該是不愛唸書。他在十歲左右曾經到舞蹈教室來學跳舞,只是後來因為某些因素而停止繼續。去年他又再來到教室報名上課,這一次就呆到了今天,是一個身體條件非常適合跳霹靂舞的傢伙,謙虛程度100%。
小傢伙家裡開餐廳賣著遠近馳名的燒肉,魚滑和牛滑。而他自從輟學後,就是這家店的燒肉和魚滑師傅。一個十八歲的孩子,每天清晨四點半就得起床到店裡去弄燒肉和製魚滑,從和他的對話中知道因為是家族生意所以常年工作,沒什麼機會和一般人一樣有什麼長假。語氣中,倒不難發覺這孩子對自己的要求不比在學校想盡辦法考高分的學生低。有可能他就是那些比別人更早認清方向的。或者說,至少知道自己不愛什麼。





Sometimes people don't realise they are actually great at something that they repeat everyday and have it planted so deep inside themselves. What looks basic to them, is so much of techniques and knowledge to us. 

從他身上發現,有本事的人有時候不知道自己其實很有本事,日復一日重複著同一件事情,不知覺地把非常棒的東西都深深種在腦裡。在他看來是非常基本的東西,對我們而言那當中蘊藏了多少技術和知識。

I guess I won't get to eat his charcoal grilled pork as I don't really eat meat (apart from fish) no more.

基於本身已經沒有在吃肉,所以應該也沒什麼機會能吃到他燒的肉。
