Would you throw garbage on the table you eat on?

So why do people forget where their food comes from?

Share if you know where you come from.

Original Post --> [Facebook]

I absolutely agree with that~ :))

As I know, landfill operation and trash incinerator are two major methods to

dispose what we toss out, in my country.

For landfill operation, leachate is the major problem to deal with;

for combustion, problems are ash and suspended particle.

Obviously, there are no perfect solutions for deposing of garbage.

What can we do are to treasure everything we have and do not waste anything....

hm... like do not use disposable tableware, don't buy/cook exceedingly what you can eat, ...

and when you taking a napkin or facial tissue... think again... do you really need a new one...

Photo --- How to Write a Reading-Note

2012-01-11T15:50:00.001+08:00

I made a cup of coffee for myself and wrote
a summary of a Wallace Academic Writing article,
after hearing a shitty news....

Title: Make a Note
I. Make a List of relating questions:
1. Revise what you have known: lectures, notes, ...
2. Outlining answers you're going to find out
3. Choose a interested point, and make out drafts for the point.
4. Looking for relating references.

II. Do not transcribe overly:
1. Only write the main concepts and conclusions (by your words).
2. Do not use highlight, and post-in excessively.
3. Elaborate & precise description is not essential unless you
would use it in your essay/paper..

III. Label your notes:
1. Label your notes with authors' names, #pages, ..
2. Organize your notes & cards separately, for rearranging all of
your notes one day.
3. Leave blanks between each line, for adding your comments, .. in
the future.

Tip:
Reading paragraph by paragraph ->
close your book ->
write a conclusion for each paragraph.

Now, feel better~

I. 迷思(這邊我只寫下該段的重點)
-01. 教學是學術研究的重要形式，也是綜合與支是延伸的方法。
-02. 對出版社來說，必需出版一般讀者想看的內容。
-03. 作家必須有創作欲望經驗；遇到瓶頸時，需堅持到底。
-04. 不喜歡寫作可能與學習過程中常遭遇老師的批評有關。
-05. 規律寫作有助於提升創造力:學術人士會要求自己一週五天每天寫作半小時，來挑戰自己。
-06. 草擬初稿階段不需著墨如何改善文章架構與文法。
-07. "I write because I don't know what I think until I read what I have to say."
-08. 學術著作本來就是一種社交活動；要孰悉本身學術領域的重要議題，
才有機會加入同儕的談話。
-09. 許多工作上的重要創新突破都是發生於工作和娛樂之間的閒暇時間；
所以最好平時能攜帶記事本或錄音機。
-10. 修改文章並非糾正錯誤，而是一個發展和發現自我想法的過程。
-11. 思考是連續的過程，需隨世界變化而變通。
-12. 長久以來名作家們都一直弔念第一人稱已不復存在的事實。
(不用第一人稱寫作不一定是好的寫法)
-13. 投稿前先徵求同事們的批評意見。"內定菁英制度"
-14. 每個人的寫作方式會略有不同。

II. 如何草擬並組織學樹計畫
III.製定寫作與研究筆記的準則
IV. 如何提交與推銷作品

2011-11-14T15:20:00.001+08:00

I got one of my hobbies, horticulture, back recently. :)
The reason was ..... hm.... I don't remember that now ^_^"
Anyway, the topic is Why do I usually choice the non-efficiency way, sowing, to get a plant?

ha~
The process of sowing and germination is so interesting, isn't it?
And I can get some self-satisfaction through it.
To increase the probability of germination,
there are some pre-treating methods need to be applied,
like cold/warm stratification for simulating natural winter/spring conditions that seeds must endure
before germination, and to soak seeds in particular solutions(hydrogen peroxide, ...), ...
Sometimes, you may need to use some pesticides to suppress fungus, insects, ...

Oh, by the way,
since some of plants I like are not available in my country,
sowing is the only way to get these kinda plants.

Another reason is we can collect seeds form threes directly or ask some nice guys to
send you some seeds and all you need to do is send him/her a stamped addressed envelope (s.a.e.) and
a ziplock.
Yap, the former is free and the other just spend you 10 bucks (for stamps).

Music --- Rhythm of the rain Cascades

2011-11-07T20:28:00.000+08:00

Somehow,
I hummed this song when jogging in the drizzled-playground ~

"Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
Telling me just what a fool I've been, ..."

<Lyrics>

Rhythm of the rain Cascades

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another
when my heart's somewhere far away

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart a glow
Rain in her heart and let the love with you start to grow

雨的節奏瀑布合唱團

聽聽這雨的節奏
像是說我是個大傻瓜
但願雨能停下來，讓我無望的哭泣
也讓我再度孤單一人

我唯一關心的女孩已離我遠去
去尋找一個全新的開始
但她不知道她在離去的那一天
連我的心也帶走了

雨啊！請告訴我這樣公平嗎？
當她不在乎的時候，她偷走了我的心
我再也無法愛別人
當我的心仍在某個遙遠的地方

雨啊！能否告訴她我是如此愛她
請太陽讓她的心綻放光芒
讓你的愛在她的心中滋長

Photo --- Correct? Outlier? Well-Behaved?

2011-10-25T15:31:00.001+08:00

Depends on your point of view

一直以來，身邊總是不斷發生著
"某人強加自己的主觀意事(想法)到某人身上"
的戲碼；
我演過後者，也扮過後者...

因深體會後者之痛苦，
一直告誡自己: 己所不欲，勿施於人!
這似乎是我近期的做事原則(這又是另外好多故事的加總體會，有機會(?)再聊~)。

於是，我和房間裡的貓咪相望時，
猛發現，
如果接下來的日子裡，繼續保持"不強加自己意識到某A身上"
那要如何教導小朋友?
(我就是強加我的生活習慣到那隻可憐的貓咪之上)

教導與傳承本身就是在將自己的想法, 觀念, 甚至偏見灌輸至他人身上，
雖然，他不一定會接受，
但若"他人"恰處人格素造的重要時期(7~26歲)，
則可能一個細節都不遺漏的接受!
(接下來，要跳到父母對子女的教育自辯)

似乎，某種程度上，
我們可以將下一代引導向我們心中想要他們成為的那一類人，
透過精心設計的生活教育。
可惜的是，
多數父母總是過著自己已習慣的生活，
但，要求子女追求他們想要子女們過的生活，
(多數人認為的)更好的生活...

很多事，
大家都出於善意；
只是，
執行的方式值得再商討~
(我都管這叫"出於善意的惡")

執行的方式，
我想跟很多事情一樣，沒有對錯，
只有恰當與否。
就與我一路讀到博士，
我不知道這樣是好還是不好?
初中時期的夢想是成為生態觀察者與生態攝影學家，
現在做的是 Medical Physics
(真的不覺得自己能成為一個重要的學者，很多的努力，頂多成為一個普通的研究員)，
有蠻大的距離(smiling)
(好險我覺得學習與研究事件很有趣的事，撇除很多伴隨而來的雜事的話)；
有那個環境的話，讓我從新選擇，
可能我會挑初中的那個吧...
即便比較辛苦的生活是意料中事，
"辛苦"的定義在每個個體間與每個環境裡都不一樣~
如何預期?

再回到教育這件事，
老實說，有一陣子我還蠻想去當黑手的。
當黑手有甚麼不好?
比較辛苦?
我想"辛苦"這件事是由整個社會的集體意識加注在某些執業上造成的~
很不好意思是，我對那"集體意識"也有部分的貢獻!

大家都希望下一代或自己
往某個方向奔去，
去登那座本來就是自己不善長登的塔...
結果只是摔得一蹋糊塗，
除了攻頂失敗，更糟蹋自己與生俱來的能力及措施本應好好體會的生活!

別說我唱高調，
別叫我去做做某種職業試試...
隔行如隔山!
每種工作，都需要很長一的段時間去學習與練習，
要一個只會做研究的人去疊磚塊...
要一個菜燒得很好的人去管理一個國家...

To Be Continued~

perhaps...

Vancouver Day 3-1: Typewriter, Granville Island

2011-09-09T18:52:00.004+08:00

Since years ago, I always want to buy a manual typewriter~

Till this trip, I had an experience to play a typewriter in a interesting store!

I love it, absolutely~~~

I even asked a clerk where could buy a typewriter at the moment.

Unfortunately, she had no idea about it!

Just told me that perhaps I could find them in antique stores~

And on the next day of the day I played the typewriter in this store,

I saw a poet,

who used his typewriter to write poems for customers~

Ha, that's the last straw!

On that street, the Government St. in Victoria, at the moment,
I decided to buy myself a typewriter!!!

Now, I have to typewriters (greed, sigh~).

One is Olivetti Lettera 32,

the other is Adler Tippa S in cursive font.

I guess the cursive plate was transplanted from some other typewriters,

since all information I have fond on Goolge indicates that there

were no typewriters in cursive font were produced by the manufacturer.

Anyway, I love the cursive font!

My letters look more romantic with it.

I will take some photos of them and share with you~ (dancing)

Walked on Burrad St.

This is the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver (the ole-building)

It was under constructing when I stayed in this city.

It has a emerald roof, a beautiful building.

Another view~

It is a developed city,

Buildings are new, style is new, ... everything is new and well organized~

That's good, but they make the city is not as attractive as cities of most European countries.

Walking along the Burrad street. Then I arrived to the Canada Place.

Sea Gulls.

I thought sea gulls are kinds of romantic birds....

Before I saw their feces and heard the awful squawks.

However, there were not any breakfast-vendors/stores in this region at all.....

2011-07-29T12:29:00.001+08:00

(fig 1. Front View)

I bought this strap for my 500CM from KEH.
However, it loosed one of critical rivets as coming (sad).

Thanks for the responsible seller,
who has promised that he will send me replacements
and I do not have to charge for shipping.
Moreover, I do not need to send defective items back~
I have to say that I am satisfied with KEH's service,
even though I felt so disappointing when receiving the package~

Fortunately, this is not a serious problem and I can fix that by myself,
and I need to use the strap the day after tomorrow.
So I fixed it this morning (smile).

Right one (fig 1, copper tone) is what I fixed.
It not as exquisite as original one, but it works (hoping)! :)

Flickr-- BudaPest

2011-07-14T02:40:00.002+08:00

I found this photo on Flickr yesterday.
It evokes lots of memories about the shot trip in Europe last year.
We went to Vienna for a conference,
and started to feel bored on the forth day in Vienna (smiling),
so we decided to get a Budapest one-day trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We didn't have a good beginning.....
We went to the wrong train station....... (sigh), so all schedules was postponed!
And the time when arriving at the Budapest train station was around ... 13:00 ( I guess),
Time was so tight!!!!!
Another problem is.... English seems not so useful in this city ^^"
Fortunately, we met a great guy, a mid-forty man who
took a business bag and looked a bit of hurry.
He helped us to buy one-day tickets ( I just used 4 of 10 tickets) and showed us how to
take the metro to Buda (We had known that, but you cannot say no to a good man, can you?)

People I saw in metro were so... majestic, truculent, and beautiful~
(all right,~ I might be influenced by
some movies: people, come from Eastern, all look truculent, like Russia Mafia :P )~
Buildings and cars looked bits of older than Prague and Vienna.
Most important is that people we met are passionate and kind
(they all provided help as much as they can even though they
didn't know the exact answers. Deeply appreciate ~ )
Anyway, the hurry-trip let me get a brief view of BudaPest~

Hope I could have another chance to experience this city more~
(Perhaps a native of Budapest would make that easier :D)

Medicine -- Gout!

2011-07-12T10:53:00.002+08:00

Gout:
Gout is a type of arthritis in which there is a build up of crystals from uric acid in the joints of the body. In gout, the body either makes too much uric acid or it is not able to flush out excess uric acid from the body fast enough. When it builds up, the uric acid forms into crystals and can deposit in joints (especially in the big toe). In the joint, the deposits can cause pain, swelling and tenderness. An attack of gout may occur suddenly and go away on its own after 7 to 10 days or the pain and swelling can come on slowly and last for long periods.
(Schlesinger N et. al, Colchicine for acute gout )

(there are lots of more bloody and real images on google..... )

Colchicine:
- for the treatment of acute flares of gout
- to prevent/decrease the build-up crystals from uric acid and deposit in joints

Allopurino:
- it blocks the production of uric acid in the body

Nogout (Benzbromarone):
- block the re-absorption of uric acid
- increase the flush-out efficiency of uric acid

Movie-- L'Auberge Espagnole (Euro Pudding)/ The Spanish Apartment/ 西班牙公寓 (2002)

2011-07-08T14:24:00.006+08:00

No English subtitle and .... no Traditional Chinese, too ( sad )~
Leaving home is difficult,
but blending into another country and culture needs more courage!
Herein, I found that Xavier and his room-mates,
they have lots of arguments, but no conflicts and judgement;
They respect others' life styles, including their personal/private parts~
And I think that maybe the most safest, smart, and best way to
join into a group(from a class to countries), in most cases!

Okay~, there are a lot of deeper topics and points to dig...
But, ha~ I just wanna say I seemed to feel Paris' and
Barcelona's air, breeze, light, and some street noise
around me....
And I regret that I did not take a line and visit the La Sagrada Familia (crying)~
Oh~ Europe~ Missing you~~~~~~~

IMDb: 7.3/10

A strait-laced French student moves into an apartment in Barcelona with a cast of six other characters from all over Europe. Together, they speak the international language of love and friendship.

... 「西班牙公寓」就是離家的故事。用男主角沙維的話來說，這是一個關於起飛的故事。沙維是個典型的巴黎小孩，按部就班的順著社會的軌道長大，雖然小時候捲著一頭金髮，夢想當個作家。但金髮隨著年齡逐漸轉黑，他的願望也慢慢淡忘，因為：人總是會改變的。

...

如果離家需要勇氣，要和一個城市相處，需要更大的勇氣。到了巴塞隆納，沙維住進名為「歐洲布丁」的一所公寓，室友包括來自義大利的亞力山卓、德國的托比、丹麥的萊斯、英國的溫蒂、比利時的依莎貝、西班牙的蘇麗蝶，這個「歐盟」的縮影，顯然是導演的理想國。他藉著沙維給了認同：「這些人的混亂世界和我的內心一樣。她為何會在這裡，就像我為何在這裡。」
...

每一個環境都有它的美好與不美好，評價是因為我們做了選擇性的偏見，那是傲慢。沙維一到西班牙就了解這個道理，他說：「總有一天你會住慣這個城市，你會認得所有的街道，你會住在這些房子裡，同這些人分享同一個故事。只要你住在這個城市，穿過這條街十次、二十次，一千次、、過一陣子，一切都會屬於你，因為你住在那裡。有一天等你回到法國，一切都變成冒險故事，旅程中最糟糕和最悲慘的事，就是你最愛說的話題。」

　所以即使拿到經濟學碩士，如願以償得到金飯碗，沙維卻在上班的第一天逃離辦公室，因為他發現井井有序的公務生涯，不是他要的人生。他說：「一切似乎清楚而且簡單，那不是我，我要找簡單的自己，在西班公寓裡的大家。」

　他選擇當作家，一條自認沒有前途的路，將西班公寓的故事寫成「歐洲布丁」，他的人生重新起飛。

哈克魯的夏日狂想曲

2002年我在捷克卡羅維瓦利影展首次看到這部電影，放映時全場笑聲、掌聲不斷，最後本片不負眾望，一舉摘下觀眾票選最佳影片，隨後並在法國等歐洲國家形成旋風，甚至造成申請赴巴塞隆納留學的人數大增的效應。隨後，美國福斯公司買下它的世界版權，可惜雖然有了大片商撐腰，台灣卻選擇不上映，只默默發了DVD。
其實這是一部雅俗共賞的輕鬆小品，男主角羅曼杜里斯也一舉成為人氣偶像，這位男星今年又以《我心遺忘的節奏》大獲影評與觀眾的熱烈好評，前途無可限量。《西班牙公寓》的賣座，也造就續集《俄羅斯娃娃》的拍攝，後者已於今年完成，並在歐洲推出上映了。

灌個水先 :P

大學畢業後對這種團體出遊一直興致缺缺....
六月底時, 在熱血學弟的熱情邀約下, 不知為何就爽快的答應了 ^^"

去了傳藝中心, 我第一次去耶~

感覺很像國...小(or 國中)時去過的中影文化城 (是國小, ^^ 記得是春or秋季旅行)
有種很新的古味, and 很空 XDD 真的很空!!!!!

傳藝中心裡一座舉人的家~
這解說員很熱情的幫我們做導覽~ (雖然她的梗不好笑...)
知道了一些... 小時候長輩們教的一些規矩背後的原因,
haha... 這我就不提了, 有機會到那邊現場聽比較有趣
或是... 哪天讓我賣弄一下 XDDDDDDDDDDDDD

東山河旁~
上次去好像是跟家人一起參加自強活動哩.

租了鐵馬騎~
這鐵馬真是我看過最便宜的耶!!!! 一台一次70元!!!!!
老實說, 國高中+小六共騎了腳踏車6年 for 通勤,
觀光區的鐵馬實在對我沒有吸引力 (... 真是掃興 ^^a),
不過這次跟團... 要合群些.... :P

老遠跑到金車集團的葛瑪蘭酒堡,
他們的威士忌(試喝的) 真不對我的味 = =a 很嗆!
也發現, 他家的酒都蠻貴的!!!!
不論是 Whisky or Sherry;
印象中, 在巴塞買了一罐 40% 的 Sherry 才 15eurs(~台幣 700), 那邊要價 2000~3000....
我那罐(感謝不喝烈酒的馬先生誤買了它並轉送給我, 賺到! XD) 真是要省著點喝 :)

當然, 羅東夜市一定要去的啦~ 吃吃吃!!!!!
把夜市裡的有名和沒名氣的攤子都吃過一輪了 XDDDDD
只能說, 要排隊的不一定合自己的口味~
的吃下去的東西真的有反映在我的體重上 ORZ
回來後, 我有很認命的常常去跑操場.

還去了溫泉 & 蘇澳冷泉 ... (大家都喜歡泡腳 = =")

爬了........ 約 10 分鐘的山 XDDDD
我真的很愛拍建築物,

轉個方向, 蘇澳港順便也來一張 :D

阿! 差點要忘記羅東林場!
那人工湖我很是喜歡耶!!!!!

林場裡的木屑地和很多樹(XD 林場當然以很多樹呀!) 真是讓人感到很放鬆及舒適~
特別是在 34 度 C 的豔陽下!!
有美景的地方, 就會有人來拍婚紗照~~~~

說到婚紗照, 要跟鄭先生說:: 你的帖子我收到了哩 :))))
褲子有點繃.... XDD (雖然以體重來說, 我完全沒有資格嘲笑你....)
anyway, 恭喜恭喜~~~~~~~~

Blog --- Kodak Ektachrome 400X (EPL)

2011-05-27T14:32:00.001+08:00

I bought some Kodak Ektachrome 400X (EPL) around one year ago,

and planning to use it in this August (humming)~

So, it's time to check the capacity of this batch of 120-films.

This is a reference for the films:
//
//過期的底片總是有一股令人不可抗拒的神秘色調，而 Ektachrome 400x (EPL)
//就是我個人最喜歡的過期正片之一。
//新鮮的 EPL 價格昂貴，拍攝幾卷後個人感覺並不划算。而過期的版本不但較便宜，
//發色表現也比較含蓄典雅。過期的 EPL 色彩較柔和清淡且對比較小，在陰暗處會帶有淡
//淡的憂鬱藍色。
//增感一格後，對比和顏色都有提昇，又不會過於浮誇。這隻底片我特別喜歡以
//iso 200~320 來拍攝，
//一方面是因為過期底片感光度有些為下降，另一個原因是稍稍過曝會帶出淺淺的琥珀黃，
//頗有老舊照片的復古味道。可惜的是因為這隻底片停產已久，取得並不容易。
//
//膠卷名稱：Kodak Ektachrome 400X (EPL)
//膠卷規格：120
//ISO：200
//拍攝張數：12 or 16

The blogger mentioned bits of underexposure will result in lightly amber tone~
hm.... I don't thinks I would like the effect when using positives~
Anyway, plaining to expose those 12 frames with different level: ASA 100, 200, 400,
and 3 frames for each level.

好久沒有拍彩色底片(彩負)了耶!
這都要感謝吳魔獸 :)))
為了幫 OSK 測這台 Contax T2 才有了這天的侯硐行 & 按完了一捲 X-tra 400.

haha 這捲底片我其實只拍了3張吧~
其他都是 Melody Tasi 完成~
EX:

雖然，比起T3, T2少了很多貼心的設定功能(不過 ^^ 反正沒用過T3你也不會知道到底少了哪些)，
但，對於普通業餘 || 進階者來說，
這台相機真是強大的機種!
在相同底片，相同店家沖掃的情況下，我比較喜歡 T2 拍出來的彩色相片(掃描檔) 的顏色~

親自玩過 T2 前，網路上有人說 T2 的增減EV旋鈕在操作上有點不方便~
結果 ^^ 我覺得那個鈕超極好轉的耶!
另一個我蠻喜歡的設計就是光圈控制環的設計和
一般 SLR 調整光圈的方式一模一樣: 在鏡頭上轉一轉~

T2 的功能中，唯一覺得有小小缺憾的是他把 Program Mode 和 f/2.8 作在同一檔上!
意思是，有時候你明明想要用 f/2.8 做出過曝的效果，
卻會因為相機太強大(預防過曝)而不能用f/2.8......
換種說法，就是 f/2.8 只在 P mode 下才有機會出現，
使用者可以完全操控的光圈值為 f/4~f/16~

Anyway~ 是台有閒錢可以留下當備用機的好相機 ^^"
(我的 Fuji Tiara 在抗議了~)

Photo-- 攝影的"主線"

2011-04-25T17:28:00.002+08:00

昨夜睡覺前，和一位高中認識至今的朋友又隨意在線上聊了一下近況~
不經意，話題又回到 攝影。生活。未來 上.

其中一段是，攝影的主線(主題)在哪?
^^" 我也暗自問了一下自己這個問題~
似乎，我從沒仔細想過這個問題! ^^a
對我來說，拍照(說攝影似乎太不容易親近也太沉重!)不知從哪天起，
除了是興趣, 也成了我生活裡的一部分 ^+++++++^

最近，"美景，不必遠求；俯拾即是" 的感覺變得越來越強烈!
也是，從兩年前，在flickr上的一些作品就讓我有這樣的感覺~
拍人像，對一般只是愛攝影的人來說，家人 & 最親近的友人最美的一面，只有你明瞭!
拍景，只有在地人知道的私藏景"點"，也只有在那兒住了好幾年的你才知道 :-)
(如過，連私藏景點都不知道，那我得說...你似乎沒有好好的體驗 & 認識自己的生活環境)
人生就是這樣~ (smile)
很多時後，事實一直就在眼前~
但就是得等時間到了，才會被真的看見並進到腦裡心底被內化吸收，而有體悟....

如果，你有更大的目標 ^++++++++^ GREAT!!!
我心深處似乎也存在這東西~ ^^
(還記得我高中時，其中一個想做的工作就是
當 discovery/National Geographic Channel的攝影師)；
哪天，^^ 你突然有了那股勇氣或許可拋下一切逐夢去!
而所需的基本技術, 審美觀, 洞察力, 知識, .... 早就在平日累積 :) ；
或是，慢慢準備~ 時間到了, 時機對了~ 一切就這麼水到渠成.

題材~
^^ 這問題在各領域一直是個大問題!
包含研究領域 ^^"""""
大師們, 先輩們, 為我們奠定了很多基礎~ (很多題目都被討論過了)
似乎，想要超越它們有點難度 (有很"大"一點)；
但，看看各展覽 or journal papers，
大家一直都在前進，即便只是一小小步 :)
是的~ 只要你投身其中，將來的一天，您也是奠定基礎的其中一位先輩~
just do it! (with some premises, of course~)
這時是很好的一個口號 ^+++++^

攝影器材~
這東西被說到快爛掉了 XDDDD
器材，不是重點!! 重點是拿器材的人!!!!
大家都知道這點 :))))))))))))
只是，每個人都有夢想的終極器材 (用力點頭)~
玩相機..... 我想也是一種樂趣~ ("玩"這個字，本身就是"花錢"的另一種闡述方式)
以我來說，自從2009年5月 Contax T3 到我手上後，
幾乎沒再用過其他相機拍照了~
我想，未來它不要壞掉的話，會一直是我慣用的相機!
其他少用的相機(TLR) & lens(135mm)也都相繼轉手賣掉了.
即使明確知道自己對器材需要的我，
有時，還是會被捲入器材追求的大漩渦 XDDDDDD
(前陣子，才從 Hasselblad & Rollei 裡逃出)~
(你可以發現，我一直重複在提"逃出"這件事，那是因為...我心中慾念還在冏)
類似情形，可以在各領域看到:
玩車的人所追求的馬力, 扭力, cc數；電腦玩家的 CPU時脈, RAM, & 硬碟容量；
女生的包包, 鞋子, &衣服；... etc
既然"玩"，和你的經濟能力有關 ^^
那就量力而為~
and 我想，它可以被歸類在攝影之下的其中一個 sub-category~
沒有好或不好 & 低級高級的問題 :))

數位/底片
我手邊只有一台 GRD2~
很方便 &極度實用且得到的影像品質很好，
但我對底片有滿滿 &無盡的愛 >//////<

看到這邊~
似乎，我對所有的討論項都沒給一個很確切的答案 (smile)
是的，很多事件本身並無好壞~
只有合不合你用 :))))

綜觀之，這也是在網路上 & 現實生活裡被說過很多次的東西~
XD 這是篇沒有營養的文章，每個一陣子就會有人在網路上再提一次的東西~
雖然我也看過很多次了，
但秉持著輸人不輸陣的原則， XD 我的 BLOG 也要來一篇~

把《Cashback》製成長片似乎是導演Sean Ellis原本就擬定好的計畫，入圍2006奧斯卡最佳短片則讓它看起來更來勢洶洶、信心十足。
故事描述美術系學生 Ben 失戀後患上失眠，為了消磨時間於是開始在賣場裡值大夜班，他和他各形各色的同事們除了要對抗討人厭的老闆之外，每個人對於如何應付八個小時的漫長夜班也各有一套方法。大家都想把時間過的快一點，但Ben卻選擇把時間暫停，仔細捕捉每一個人的美。時間靜止了，而他開始行動了。
一點古怪、一點詼諧加上獨特風格，是短片抓住觀眾眼睛的不二法門。《Cashback》首要驚人的便是：大量的女性裸體。不過導演透過美術系男生審視女體的角度相當具有美感，晶瑩剔透到每個人都像是櫥窗裡的人型模特兒了，而據說，本片並沒有使用特效，你一定會驚訝於時間靜止的那幾幕，使人有種彷彿在海底漫步的飄浮感.

Today, I leave my office for dinner alone~

Love today's weather, smooth & comfortable wind~

After dinner, I bought a bottle of Coke (ZERO, of course),
Drank it nearby a lake in the campus :-)
The wave light is so beautiful,
and trees, leaves, they sang with the wind....
what a wonderful, harmonious symphony!

By the way,
I borrowed some Ansel Adams' and Daido Moriyama books form the library~
hope I can over-read them before 30th June~

Moskva5, Moskva5~
I'm familiar with using you since this morning~ ^^"
The location of its shutter is on the left-hand side .......
and I am a right-handed = =""
anyway, everything is going good!

by the way, this pound is a cooling pound of a lab. nuclear reactor system :)))
but do not feel fear or worry about this!
these lotuses just in their seed-period,
and not dead by affecting by radiation~

三月底從 Russia 買了台 Moskva-5 相機；
Moskva-5 是台 6X9，俱疊影對焦的老蛇腹相機~
相關歷史.... 我就懶得打了 ^^" google 一下很多資料就跳出來啦.

第一次用這種老蛇腹相機，
有好多事情需要從新習慣 ^^"
像是快門在左手邊.... 這讓我一時間有點無所適從....

接著，這相機有防呆(防疊片)裝置!
就是說，沒有過片 --> 無法按快門~
又，有把玩過老相機的人都知道, 這類老相機按快門前要有個"上膛"的步驟
(我想，也是為了防止誤觸快門浪費底片的設計吧 @@?)；
這兩個機構(防疊片+上膛)放在一起.....
容易出現的情況就是: 過完片，忘了上膛就按下快門!!!
結果就是，快門根本沒有動作冏~ 但...你又要再過一次片才能按快門了....
這一下，就浪費了一張 6X9 底片 = ="" (== 1.5張 6x6底片大小)!!!!!

anyway, 今天出去吃東西時，又拿它拍了幾張照片，過程還算流暢 ^^

目前只拍了幾捲黑白測試照，
(有拍成功的)結果還算滿意 ^++++^

hm... hasselblad 500CM & rollei SL66~ 再等等~
到時再收藏你們 ^^""

說到這，老實說，
120片幅對我的平日拍攝習慣來說，並不會很常用!
說要放大，8X10的像紙到現在也沒放過幾張...
要極淺的景深，一般135相機的光圈2.2~2.8已經夠用...
反到是120的無敵淺景深.... 我眼拙... 容易就沒對到焦冏!

會想要收集那兩台經典相機，
純粹只是喜歡 XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

hm....好吧，常在flickr (here and here)上看到一些日本人，用120相機把家人小孩拍得很漂亮 ^^"
即使知道換相機並不會讓攝影技術與個人審美觀精進，
但心中還是存有這小夢想~
哪天也要用120相機把家人拍得美美地!!!
(私以為，這需要更熟稔的技術及更好的家人配合度<小朋友要好好訓練!!>才達的到 ^^a)

road 122, it leads me escaping form the crowd city......
cold, fresh air and peaceful scene :)

往尖石的路上~
上週日在忙研究之餘，騎機車往在新竹這幾年都還沒到過的張學良故居。
這故居，老實說沒甚麼特別，
倒是沿途景色和空氣很讓人喜歡 ^^
有機會，哪天風光明媚時，定要在122縣道上再溜溜 :)))

I saw this old (released in 1995) movie last night~

IMDb
A frustrated composer finds fulfillment as a high school music teacher.

Mr. Hollond's first day started with nervous and depressed,
especially after the first examination~
He felt he wasted his time in the music class, so did those student....
One day, the president told to him that
as a teacher, you should not only must teach knowledge
but also be their moral compass~
And Mr. Holland stared to his real teacher period then~

Even though be a great teacher,
there are still some trivial things, family problems, ....in his life have to be deal with!
Teaching his son, and other children;
Loving his wife, and his family or.... a young, and talent student;
His dream: compose a great symphony,
and gain money to make his families live a carefree life....

Finally, he found that students who were taught by
him were the note, the rhythm of his symphony~
The symphony of life!

開演電影
音樂家荷蘭一生最大的志願就是作一首萬古留芳的交響樂。
無奈，為了生活，他只好屈就在高校裡當起音樂老師。
而這麼喜歡音樂的荷蘭，所生的兒子卻是個聾子，失望之餘，
他元全不知該如何與兒子相處，更別提和兒子分享他的音樂喜好了。
於是他把所有的心力投注在工作上，將他三十多年的青春全部奉獻於培養學生的音樂興趣。

就在他將退休之年，學校卻下了一個決定，把學生的音樂課全部刪除。
喜歡音樂的學生和他積極的努力下，依然改變不了既定的事實。
學生對於這位音樂老師最後一天當「老師」的生涯，決定給荷蘭一個驚喜……
所有他教過的學生，有的還是民意代表、成功的商人……
全部回到母校，為他們的老師開一場演奏會……

ha, I am in my office now, even though today is a national holiday.....
(I wanna get my Ph.D degreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............)

Anyway, I give myself a 1.5hr break and today's cloud, temperature....
evoke a warming experience as I missed the last bus in Gosausee, Austria.

Because of our travelling budget, time,.....
we just had 2 days to visit Hallstatt, Ice Cave, and Gosausee.....
(we did not visit the Salt Mine.... sad!)
You know, time always does not enough for visiting such beautiful and romantic landscapes!

As a backpacker,
bus/train timetable is always the first thing to check,
especially when you arrive to a great place :))))
so, I checked the time, 17:10, for the last bus which would take us back to our hotel (Hallstatt).

And then...... Enjoying ~

I was plaining to be a skinny-dipper :)))
But I partner would not join with me............

we took some salon-like photos ^+++++^

ding, ding, ding~~~
It's time to go to the bus stop! (16:40)~

hm.................
it's 17:20!!!! where's the bus.........
In our experience, Austria's public communications are always on time!
So, we checked the timetable again.....
OH MAN!!!!
17:10 is for School-Day, Monday to Friday!!!
However, it's Sunday ................ We missed the last bus!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How fortunately! We met this kind man and his lovely mom~
In the beginning, this gentleman and the lady were just finishing exercise walking,
and asked me "Do you know what time is it?"~
^^" I answered "WE MISS THE LAST BUS"......
so~ ^++++++++++^ they took us to a bus stop, and we can take bus to our hotel at the stop~
After checking the timetable(bus will arrive in 10min), they went into a across-street store~

I had nothing to do as waiting bus... so I checked the timetable again....
MAMAMIYA...... we made the same mistake.....
the bus will arrive in 10min is for School-day only!!!
We had to wait around 45min for the bus on that day (Sunday)~

As you know, in Europe, stores and vendors are off around 18:00~19:30 in weekend....
and we had about 30min to kill before the bus arriving,
so, we went into the store to buy our dinner~

The Lady saw us and asked "why you are here?"
After explaining, they decided to take us to Hallstatt and
the Lady bought cakes and chocolate-bars to us (I was almost crying.... what a great Lady!),
and the gentleman told us:
"It's not worth to spend time waiting a bus in such beautiful place and vocation~"

In the car, we talked about Hallstall's history, where is the MUST VISIT, and
man should have a wife in each country :) (the Lady has some different opinion, of course ),
and sang "500 miles" : away from home, away from home~~~~

We deeply appreciate your kindness and help~
^+++++++++++++++++++++++++++^
And I am going to sent a postcard to you Lady ~
Hoping the postcard can arrive to your house
(Because I'm not sure the address is correct... = ="
you know, handwriting sometimes is hard to recognize,
especially for people, like me, whose first language is not English...)

Movie-- London Boulevard/ 倫敦大道

2011-04-05T04:14:00.001+08:00

IMDb

"London Boulevard" is the story of a man newly released

from prison who falls in love with a reclusive young movie star

and finds himself in a duel with a vicious gangster.

開眼電影

當一位剛出獄、不被社會接受的黑道男子，

愛上家喻戶曉的大明星，這段多舛的戀情，

會受到祝福嗎？還是將無可避免推向悲劇的那一端呢？

Somehow, there is only one Chinese trailer of this movie on youtube,

and the trailer dose not have Chinese subtitle..... what a frreak Chinese trailer!?

In fact, I do not understand the last portion of this movie:
Why Jorden kills himself? 'Cause Mitchel was killed?

By the way, Mitchel seems that has the personality to make people like him,
his sister wants to earn his care,
Charlotte falls in love with him at first sight,
Jorden...... the gangster......
everyone wants and likes him~

I knew this movie as I was searching one of Tchaikovsky's violin concert around one year ago~

And I saw this movie last week....

hm..... I love the music portion and the actress (>////<),

however, I think the screenplay is not good enough~ ^^"

anyway, if you like classic music and like Tchaikovsky's violin concert, go and enjoy it :))
