Existence is art, I exist, therefore I am art.

Snapshot Girl: Tamsui Sunset(走拍女孩:淡水夕陽)

In the afternoon, while basking in the rare winter sunshine at the back door of my old house, a mother cat ran up to me and kept me company in sunbathing. I hurried back to my room and took a few photos for her with my DSLR camera.

When I was sorting through the memory card, I unexpectedly came across photos taken by me on a summer evening over two years ago by the Tamsui River.

Time really flies, and in the blink of an eye, I just finished sorting the photos, only to find several that brought a smile to my face from my youth.

From my student days to today, I have taken many photos. Apart from commercial photography, I rarely have the opportunity to organize my photos at the first time, nor do I have many chances to look back at those photos.

As a result, I have accumulated many photos in my hard drive that I have never seen, including photos from my trips abroad.

After a few years, when I look back at my own photos, I find even more surprises and emotions well up inside me, and I am able to objectively evaluate whether the photos I have taken are truly works that I like.

Well, I’m not really making excuses for my own laziness. This is just youth(?).

下午在後門曬著冬季難得的陽光時,一隻貓媽媽也跑到身邊,陪(擋)著我一起曬。趕忙回房拿出單眼相機拍了幾張。

結果在整理記憶卡時,意外看到兩年多前的夏天傍晚拍下的照片。

時間真的過好快,一個轉眼,才剛整理到照片,就發現好幾張令我會心一笑的青春。

從學生時代到今天也拍了不少照片,除了商業攝影外,我其實很少會第一時間就整理照片,也很少有機會再回過頭去看那些照片。

所以我的硬碟裡其實也累積了不少我自己都沒看過的照片,包括我去國外旅行的照片。

幾年下來,其實我發現這種多年後重新看自己照片,會湧出更多的驚喜與感動,也更能客觀去評估自己拍攝的照片到底是不是自己真心喜歡的作品。

嘛,我倒也不是為自己的懶惰找藉口就是了,這就是青春啊(?)。
