【Past Events of the Future】

"Feather-light press of the shutter, an extraordinary instant before my eyes is captured with a snap of my fingers. Within that one-thousandth of a second, Earth leaves behind the image it packed to go as it spins along its axis; or perhaps it was a temperate, memorable moment of the present being condensed into a singular frame. Yet, myths surrounding that “present” seem to be our most deeply-rooted misunderstanding of photography.

My fondest works of photography often tell of the rectangular world perceived by the camera’s viewfinder of some ongoing moment on this planet, usually just after or prior to the shutter button’s release. Discovered by the determined photographer’s razor-sharp eyes are the ripples in the wake of story fragments, or details to be yearned after in the future.

There is no present tense in the world of photography—its grammar underscores that moment when the past and the future collide, that wonderful process of blurring the divide between reason and emotion with time.

There exists no other language in this world in which concatenation of past and present tense is permitted, and yet a photograph tells its tale with such nonchalance. On wafer-thin photo paper, a fortuitous event of both the past and the future is deftly pieced together—like the preparation of paints on an artist’s palette or that of a mother’s delicate touch when braiding her daughter’s hair. With such devotion, affection, and selflessness, a photograph can ceremoniously record the fingerprints of time, hazy like moonlight, events of the future already satisfied…

It is my belief that no photo is able to elaborate on a story about the “now”, much like city maps that indicate neither the entrance nor the exit for curious eyes somehow."

【關於未來的往事】

輕觸快門，彈指間截取眼前某個獨一無二的瞬間，那千分之一秒地球自轉時忘記打包帶走的畫面，或凝結當下某個帶有溫度並值得紀念的瞬間 - 關於那個 ”當下” 的迷思，似乎是我們對攝影最根深蒂固的誤解。

那些自己熱衷的攝影作品，通常講述的是快門釋放後或之前，地表上某個角落，透過相機觀景窗所見的那個長方形世界，執著的攝影者眼尖地發現了某段故事曾留下的波紋與未來將被懷念的細節。

攝影世界裡沒有現在式，攝影語法強調過去與未來相遇的剎那，理性與感性的分野頓時間被模糊了的奇妙過程。

世上也沒有任何一種語言其文法允許過去式與未來式併置。但一幅攝影作品卻可以如此瀟灑地說故事，就透過薄薄的一張相紙，輕巧地湊合了過去與未來的一樁喜事，像是畫家作畫時調色盤上顏料的配製，也如同母親溫柔的手指替女兒編辮子；如此隨心所致，深情而且無私，攝影作品行禮如儀捕捉了朦朧如月光般的時間指紋，那些關於未來的往事…

我相信沒有任何照片能夠闡述一個關於 “現在” 的故事，就像坊間的地圖也從來不替讀者標記一座城市出口與入口的位置

Peresno lahek premik zaslonke, neverjeten trenutek pred svojimi očmi ujamem s pritiskom prstov. V tisti tisočinki sekunde Zemlja za sabo pusti že pripravljeno podobo, medtem ko se sama vrti okoli svoje osi; ali pa je šlo za blag, nepozaben trenutek sedanjosti, zgoščen v eno samo podobo. Pa vendar se zdi, da je naše nerazumevanje fotografije najbolj globoko utemljeno v mitih, ki obkrožajo to »sedanjost«.

Moja najljubša fotografska dela velikokrat pripovedujejo o pravokotnem svetu, kot ga prikazuje objektiv fotoaparata, o nekem trenutku v teku, ki se ponavadi zgodi tik pred ali po pritisku sprožilca. Odločne in ostre oči fotografa razkrivajo posledice fragmentov zgodbe, ali detajle, k katerim lahko stremimo v prihodnosti.

V svetu fotografije ne poznamo sedanjika – njegova slovnica poudarja tisti trenutek, ko se preteklost in prihodnost križata, tisti čudoviti proces brisanja meja med razumom in čustvi skozi čas.

Na svetu ni drugega jezika, v katerem bi bila dovoljena združitev preteklika in prihodnjika, pa vendar fotografija svojo zgodbo govori s takšno brezbrižnostjo. Naključni dogodek preteklosti in prihodnosti je na skoraj prosojnem fotografskem papirju spretno sestavljen – kakor priprava barv, ki jih umetnik nameša na paleto ali materin nežni dotik, ko hčeri spleta lase. S takšno predanostjo, ljubeznijo in nesebičnostjo fotografija beleži že udejanjene dogodke prihodnosti, odtise časa, meglene kakor mesečina...
Osebno verjamem, da nobena fotografija ne more razložiti »trenutnega«, podobno kot zemljevidi mest, na katerih še tako radovende oči ne najdejo označenega ne vhoda ne izhoda."

Review the viewfinder。玩菲林，如玩黑膠，也如紙本印刷，憑著人手與機械互動，加上來自五感的刻下判斷，將瞬間變作永恆。

在影像唾手可得的年代，一張滑過手機螢幕的相片是如此輕盈。但曾幾何時，由購買菲林至沖曬影像，咪著眼尋找對焦到按下快門，到最後將底片小心翼翼收藏到底片簿，攝影如一個放慢的瞬間，一張相片背後傾注的時間與專注，乃數碼化年代無可比擬的重量。

「而家唔知啲嘢點整好似好正常，但當越了解菲林機，就越知道佢嘅博學精深。」策展人兼夕拾主理人Sylvia，對菲林機世界的純粹與精細深深著迷，希望機械裡頭的智慧不隨電子化而淹沒，因而有了策展的念頭。她聯同菲林相機專業顧問Ron Lau，在芸芸百多部相機選出30部，展示二十世紀初期至晚期的菲林機進程。沿著桌上隨年份推演的不同型號，除了看到相機外觀與結構改變之餘，也透現了不同時代人們的追求， 有人追求輕巧便攜、使用便捷，有人追求專業化，也有人期望相片效果更花式多元。由「box」、「風琴機」、寶麗來、立體相機至雙鏡機，除了定性為菲林機的籠統視角，其實每部相機亦承載了當時時代的精神面貌，如1888年Eastman Kodak 發佈了首款卷裝菲林相機，以一句「you press the button, we do the rest」口號第一部，賣相機之餘亦提供沖洗服務，開創了攝影普及化的先河；或是盛載了中國「超英趕美」一時夢想、以Rolleiflex為藍本而開發的海鷗牌雙鏡反光機，皆讓我們從從相機本身放眼到一個時代脈絡。

當學會理解過去，就能想像未來。Sylvia期望隨著對舊物原理認知的增長，坊間能重新構想舊式菲林機的使用。簡單如利用文具舖物料，只要加入想像力，就可以將暗箱原理重現眼前，或是在菲林機上裝嵌寶麗來底片盒，就能recreate一部舊機的即影即有。一個屬於過去的物件，其實只要用上當代視角與心思，也能成為everyday use？

沒有大budget擁有很多機器。
唯有靠自己的創意和科技來幫助完成任務吧～
今天來用個apple watch幫助拍攝吧

apple watch你可能沒有想過如何可以幫你拍攝影片。
因為很多都以為只是看到你的心跳， 看訊息和其他。
不過在拍照拍影片的又能幫到什麼呢？
這裡有兩個我覺得很棒的功能跟你分享。

當成viewfinder monitor
- 通常自拍都用前鏡頭拍
- 雖然不差可是還是輸後面的鏡頭.
- 前鏡頭pixal
- 後鏡頭pixal
- 前鏡頭拍影片沒有wide angle
- 後鏡頭卻沒辦法看到monitor
- apple watch能即決這個問題.
- 把手錶⌚️戴上手機
- 再打開相機控制系統就變成小型monitor

stop motion
- 喜歡stopmotion的朋友也幫的上忙
- 可以透過手錶控制拍照功能
- 不用一直被手機的位置拖累。
- 能輕鬆一邊調整你的subject而隨時按拍照

Leica Rangefinder viewfinder外置觀景器
早期Leica螺絲頭相機只有50mm和90mm內置觀景窗，需要加外置觀景器VIOOH補充這個兩位焦距以外的焦距。現代相機的線框多了不少選擇，一般包括28mm, 35mm,50mm, 75mm, 90mm和135mm觀景焦距，至於更寛的焦距，就可以用外置觀景器Universal wide-angle viewfinder M，補充16mm,18mm,21mm,24mm 觀景焦距。
