第一次曬相
你的臉從白色的相紙上浮現－－嚗過光相紙泡在藥水裡，灰色吞沒了白，你的輪廓慢慢清晰。原來一幀影像必須被認真和專注的對待，無論像素有幾千萬，都不及捧在手中的重量和質感。用雙手促成這樣的化學作用，真的很不可思義。 – 21.4.2009
A Day in Darkroom
We spent our whole weekend in Darkroom. Handle my favorite pictures with care and technique to bring out the best result is overwhelming. This batch of pictures are taken in dark, some in the June-Fourth Candle Vigil, some taken in the darkroom. After some failure – wasting a few 8×10 paper, I grasp the exposure time and burning time for these high key photos. The sense of accomplishment is great and through these ‘handcraft’ I brought new life to these images. Things went smoother and I was very happy that some shots did not even need a 2nd take. You stayed around the computer and watched me dancing like a joyful child.
One of the print that comes out with gorgeous result. The shot of you working with your prints in silence. The scene compels me to shoot. Looking at the print I recall how I sat far away and gaze at your action. Through every shots I cherish the space and time we shared.
In the heart of darkness we rest in the same space and time in peace and harmony
