圍在肩上的負擔,是一輩子的甜蜜

進了一棵好鏡頭,contax distagon 35mm F1.4 AEG
卻沒有時間拍照
原來,攝影最容易的是獲得器材,最難的是獲得時間拍照. :)

翻出了以前一張一直很喜歡的照片,
是一位我認識的大師拍攝的,
她對裁切人物照有相當獨特的天賦
令我相當嫉妒,但也不得不佩服她的攝影眼
給了我很多的啟發

她就是下面這張照片的攝影師

圍在肩上的負擔,是一輩子的甜蜜

Can't fight this feeling

音樂的魔力實在很令人著迷
一首久遠的老歌, 在瞬間把我所有的回憶都帶到了眼前
如果有歌可以碰觸我的內心深處, this this one of them...
Share with you...



I can't fight this feeling any longer.
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow.
What started out as friendship,
Has grown stronger.
I only wish I had the strength to let it show.

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever.
I said there is no reason for my fear.
Cause I feel so secure when we're together.
You give my life direction,
You make everything so clear.

And even as I wander,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the window,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you.
I've been running round in circles in my mind.
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl,
Cause you take me to the places,
That alone I'd never find.

And even as I wander,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the wind,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

轉載--身體最重要的部位是什麼

從前我母親經常問我，身體最重要的部位是什麼。

許多年來，我一直以為自己所想的是正確答案。

當我很小的時候，我認為對人類而言，聲音很重要，因此回答：「媽咪，是耳朵。」她說：「不對，有許多人是聾子耶。但是你繼續想，不久我會再問你。」

當她再度問我時，已經是好幾年後了。自從第一次回答之後，我就一直仔細的思考正確答案。所以這次我對她說：「媽咪，視覺對每個人都很重要，所以應該是我們的眼睛。」她看著我，對我說：「你學的很快，但還是不對，因為有許多人是瞎子。」

往後的年日裡她又問了我幾次，但她總是回答：「不對，可是孩子啊，你每年都有進步喔。」


去年我祖父去世，每個人都很傷心，大家都哭了。輪到我們向爺爺做最後的告別時，媽媽看著我，問我：「寶貝，你知道身體最重要的部位了嗎？」她在這時候問我這個問題，令我嚇了一大跳。

我一直以為這只是我和她之間的遊戲。她看我一臉迷惑的樣子，對我說：「這問題很重要，它是你真正在過生活的表示。」我看她眼睛裡充盈著淚水，她說
:「寶貝，最重要的部位是你的肩膀。」我問：「是因為它支撐你的頭嗎？」
她回答說：「不是，是因為可以讓我們的朋友，或所愛的人哭泣時有所依靠。
寶貝，每個人在一生中都會有需要一個可以靠著哭泣的肩膀的時候。我只是希望當你需要時，會有足夠的愛和朋友，給你一個可倚靠哭泣的肩膀。」

從那時起，我知道身體最重要的部位不是利己而已，而是對別人的痛苦能感同身受。
