色戒

承蒙李安的國際大影片，我能為我的作品取個好名！

It is raining “pussy” and “bitch” again

曾幾何時，我一聽見響雷聲，就打從心裡擔心起來。擔心火車因大雨而延遲，那些三五九流的乘客，黑的，更黑的，就越聚越多。那時我就像一碗黑芝麻裡的白果，任由魚肉，遭四面八方的“熱情”友族推擠，有幾次險些窒息，皆因人體穢氣使我透不過氣。我真討厭搭火車，所以每天就如行屍走肉般上班。

不過，現在回想起當初的辛酸，就如一目又一目的喜劇。像友族如何硬塞硬搶位，像２００磅的胖子如何坐上 ３／２的位子，像打工族睡像百態，口水沾濕位子也沒礙他睡，像鄉巴佬如何“与雞共坐” ，像乘客如何拔脫扶把．．．這一切是駕車人士不能體會。

有頭髮誰想做喇唎，就如誰不想在一間好工司上班，至到百年歸老。上班奴們，共勉之吧！

以下是我在舊東家的告別作，是適懷，是回憶，是人生階段的整理，就任君思考吧！

Wealth Cat?

I have seen 40cm tall wealth cat placed at the cashier counter before. But does this 5cm little kitten I photographed help? Maybe the strength will be 8 times smaller. As Barney said, the bigger the better, think big make big money. So now I figure out the reason Playboy magazine is such a huge success- because they have all the big pussies, hahaha!

Holy Snap

Last Saturday I went to a temple on a mission. I needed to capture some Chinese traditional shots for publishing use. It was coincidentally the celebration day for the Buddhist. Looking around anxiously to take the best shot, I could feel the joy and holiness of the prayers. And the temple that was once a run down building has now become a luxurious palace of the goddess. Admiring the glorious interior while snapping the photos, I felt as if I was cleansed and enlightened. It was indeed a wonderful Saturday.

Like a Virgin

I may have forgotten what the aperture is for and what shutter speed got to do with lights and so on. But one thing is for sure, photos, images and pictures qualities do affect the overall design.

We all know that when we are granted with a photographer, we simply ignore the photography skills. But lucky to me, the photographer is leaving the company soon. Of course I am not praising his resignation. But his leaving has pushed me to shorten my “Honey Moon” and get into real work. As I am the one who “possibly” handling his work after his leaving, I have to pick up all his skills in a month. Sounds silly but I picked up quite fast because I knew the basic at first place but I need to brush up with the skills which he said through constant training and experiment.

Soon I realised that, a photo is taken with lots of efforts and sweats (the camera itself has ached my arms when I held it without tripod). From the light setting to arrangement of the layout, it requires a full attention. Sometimes it takes hours to manage the light source. My colleague has done all these by his own? Amazing!

Fortunately, he is a good teacher. He is willing to share his skills to me and guide me to achieve quality photos in one month. He even tested me of shooting without using flash. He said that will train my knowledge in adjusting the aperture and the shutter speed.

Now, as to thank him for teaching me all these, I presented him my two very first time taken product shots. It is as if the first time I touch photography, although I have learnt the basic before. But this time, it is really special, I feel like a professional photographer.
