About Dream 。夢與夢

我不記得自己有在這裡分享過這幾年前拍的短片，今天回頭看了幾遍。



《About Dreams》 說的是在現實生活裡談夢想的故事。

關於生命與快樂這回事

前兩天家裡有這麼一段對話，說某某公務人員因為薪金問題沒有能力買產業，我說那有什麼出奇？我不也一樣。老妹淡淡地回了一句：“你不一樣，你選擇了快樂。”

上星期有位老朋友和我聊天，說起自己一年前怎麼開始策劃自殺這件事情，後來再因為發生了一些事情之後（不便寫出來）而現在活得特別頑強。這事情讓我幾個晚上沒有辦法好好睡進去，後來也就病到了哈哈！

嗯，快樂真的很重要。離開前我和朋友說了大概這麼一段話：
你喜歡什麼？當你發現你喜歡的是什麼的時候，你就努力去追求。快樂就是這樣。你如果喜歡的是錢，那你就努力賺錢。我不喜歡錢，可是賺錢是必須的。所以我都靠我喜歡的東西賺錢，這樣我比較快樂。

花落此處留不住，幸得知己相守護。

古有門內後宮三千，今見窗外天海一線。

海上人家

給你吃魚不如教你釣魚

談及家園失火時

遺忘

帽神保你出入平安

Goodbyes Everyday

拍照拍到後來基於一些因素比較少上傳工作的照片，搞得一些人以為我已經不再拍婚禮了。

算了一算，玩底片攝影也有五年了。從最開始的 LC-A+ 到今天黑白底片自沖自掃，這當中也走了不少冤枉路。還好，都值得。來到 2016 年，希望能夠用影片的方式多分享攝影和生活，趁還可以的時候多走多看！

新年快樂，大家！

Why Taipei So Many Times & Again? 為什麼一直飛台北？

Some time ago, I purchased a secondhand Pentax 21mm f3.2 lens online from a Taiwanese. I got the lens a month later, only to find out that it wouldn't focus properly on anything beyond 1.2m. Being more familiar with the camera industry (I constantly update myself on camera related topics in groups on Facebook) in Taipei, I have decided to fly there and have it repaired at one of the local shops recommended by the helpful ones online. Anyways, I got the lens repaired and managed to collect it a few days before I had to return home and got a few shots that I like.

幾個月前，我從網上和一位台灣人買下他的 Pentax 21mm f3.2 鏡頭。一個月後收到時才發現鏡頭對焦在 1.2m 以外沒有辦法完成任務。基於對台北相機行業比較熟悉的條件下，我決定把鏡頭帶過去，到一家網上用家還蠻推薦的店家去修。很幸運地，鏡頭在我回來之前修好了，也就造就了以下幾張自己還蠻喜歡的照片。

一夜台北

So, why Taipei so many times and again?
1, I was looking for Sony E mount 16mm f2.8 and Sony Malaysia could not provide it after so long. Got it in Taipei and cheaper.
2, I wanted to have the Pentax 21mm f3.2 lens repaired.
3, My brother from another mother, bboy Fooker, is finally back in Taipei from Japan after a year. We shared so much this time and I am inspired!
4, My another brother from another mother, Eddy, has promised to come up to Taipei from South and spend a few days with us.
5, Taipei is a nice place to visit, learn, have fun and relax. Apart from the disappointing weather that I had throughout the journey, I thoroughly enjoyed every single moment I spent there.

為什麼一直飛台北？
1, 我一直在找 Sony E mount 16mm f2.8 鏡頭，Sony Malaysia 用了幾十天時間沒有辦法寄出一顆給我，最後在台北用比較便宜的價錢買到了新品。
2, 我要修鏡頭。
3, 阿富從日本回到台北了。每次相聚都高唱豐收。
4, Eddy 說好會從高雄去到台北陪我們玩幾天。
5, 無論是觀光，學習，享樂還是放鬆，台北都是個好地方。只是這次比較可惜的是天氣欠佳。

If you have been to Taipei, share it with me.

你的台北之旅是怎樣的？

沒有慣性地在拍攝人像，是優點也是缺點。

牽絲千思

For How Long

向實習生學習

2014年快過一半。算一算，我也推了不少工作。目前的情況還是處於沈澱自己，所以接下來的幾個月你還是不會看到我太多的商業作品。希望儘快走出陰霾，找到自己的路！

話說我這裡前陣子來了個和我一樣亂來的實習生。她和我不同的是，她兩個月後在畢業展的短片比賽中拿了冠軍。歡迎回來！這裡沒有國際舞台，可是有燃燒生命的那種。

能夠把攝影幼苗栽培計劃的第一個活動完成，心裡真是興奮啊。

希望透過一個這樣的動作，至少能讓更多人看見和他們不一樣的生活。

Farhan

十年前，一個外國婦女因為好心腸，收了兩個孩子教他們認字。十年後的兩天前，我探訪了這個目前有超過十位志工和30個孩子的地方。他們教的，都是土生土長卻沒有國籍的孩子。

志工有社會人士，還有曾經在這裡受教育的。

我被委託用畫面把這地方紀錄下來。他們目前面對政府壓力，嘗試尋求政治庇護，好讓這些孩子能夠繼續在這裡學習。

我去年也到過另外一個這樣的地方，政府以孩子是非法的為理由，把地方關閉了。

他土生土長，你不教他，誰來幫他？

照片里的孩子叫Farhan。

Crew 這回事。

也只有真的把隊友當家人了，才能用心體會固中的精神。

賣藝的

“Singers, Musicians, Dancers and Actors, are some of the most driven, courageous people on the face of the earth. They deal with more day-to-day rejection in one year than most people do in a lifetime. Every day, they face the financial challenge of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people who think they should get real jobs, and their own fear that they'll never work again. Every day, they have to ignore the possibility that the vision they have dedicated their lives to is a pipe dream. With every note, they stretch themselves, emotionally and physically, risking criticism and judgment. With every passing year, many of them watch as the other people their age achieve the predictable milestones of normal life - the car, the family, the house, the nest egg. Why? Because Actors, Dancers, Musicians and Singers are willing to give their entire lives to a moment - to that melody, that lyric, that chord, or that interpretation that will stir the audience's soul. Actors, Dancers, Singers and Musicians are beings who have tasted life's nectar in that crystal moment when they poured out their creative spirit and touched another's heart. In that instant, they were as close to magic, God, and perfection as anyone could ever be. And in their own hearts, they know that to dedicate oneself to that moment is worth a thousand lifetimes.” - David Ackert, LA Times

其實跳舞和拍照這兩件事，和維修汽車是一樣的。只是我們都只忽略了一件重要的事， 那就是你可以立刻看得見修好了的車子，卻要花上好多年才發現自己變美麗的心和紀錄下來的快樂。車子壞了要找人修因為你不會。那藝術工作者為美麗的故事燃燒生命，你為什麼還要刻薄？

《兩代》。Two Generations

去年年尾，我和某大師談起了自己想為這個社會拍攝的一個主題，一個可以一直拍下去的主題。我說：“其實我們都不應該忘記今天的自己是誰造就的。” 當然，大師很鼓勵，說非拍不可。

因為工作的關係，我一直拖到今天頭，才終於把第一批人選，手法，地點和印刷廠定了下來。從開始拍攝到跌壞了硬碟再補拍，我終於在一月底把照片送到了印刷廠。很開心，今天，我的第一個迷你展覽終於開始了！我稱它

《兩代》。

《兩代》說的是飲水思源的故事，說的是整個環境變遷留下來不可忽略的歷史，說的是你和我的今天與昨天。社會上一代的努力，造就了這一代的新血。今天的你，和造就了你今天的上一代說了一聲 “謝謝” 了嗎？

非常感激願意為我開個頭，讓我拍攝的五位人士 － 劉偉義，餘佳瑄，餘自源，黃松洺和劉國成。如果你也願意為這個環境出一分力，讓我為你分享你的《兩代》，請一定要到 skyler.storyteller@gmail.com 找我！

在亞庇的朋友們，記得到 Suria Sabah 多多支持了！謝謝！

I was telling a mentor last year, about an on-going project that I wished to shoot for the society, something that can remind all of us not to forget where we come from. I immediately had his support.

It was only until January this year that I finally had my first batch of subjects, shooting direction, exhibition location and printing all confirmed. After a month of scheduling, shooting, losing files (dropped my hard disc) and re-shoot, I finally had my first 5 images sent to be printed the fine art way. Pro Art was awesome. Today, I am very happy to tell you that my first mini exhibition is finally going on in Suria Sabah! I call it ‘Two generations’.

‘Two Generations’ tells a story about appreciation; about history that had contributed to the society we live in; about our past and our present. It was handwork and perseverance from the previous generation, that had given us new blood today. have you, in the present, expressed your gratitude, by saying ‘thank you’ to the people that had made you what you are today?

I have to thank Christopher Liew, Yii Tze Yuan, Relx Wong, Anne Yee and Kenneth Liew for willing to make a start for me and the society. Should you wish to share your story of ‘Two Generations’ with us too, please do not hesitate to contact me via skyler.storyteller@gmail.com! Please!

For those living in the city of Sang Nyuk Mian, I hope you can drop by to support! Thank you!

2012 只是填表格參加，2013 遊戲才開始。
我一定要加油。
還是那句，只有健康的大環境才能容得下大家。祝願大家遠離小人。
還有，如果我跌倒了，記得要笑我，這樣我才會對事件留下比較深刻的印象，呵呵！

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！
