引述「...女攝影師Kelli Connell的首個獨展作品「Double Life」是一個非常特別的拍攝項目，每張照片都是由2張膠片掃瞄後通過Photoshop後期拼接而成，每張照片的兩個主人公也都是同一個模特兒。」

「你可以看到，每張照片都講述了一個由兩個人構成的故事，她們在一起憂傷，在一起歡笑，在一家餐館裡發生口角，或者在同一個遊樂場悵然若失...這些照片來自於我對生活的體驗，是我曾經看到過、經歷過、想像過的場景，然而，照片上所展現的栩栩如生的瞬間，卻從未在真實的世界裡發生過。」





When I met Kelli Connell's work through my eyes for the first time, I am stunned. She creates a great, dreamy world. It reminds me of many deja-vu scenes. It's hard to describe by using words but shoot pictures.

Quoted..."Black & White Candid Street Photography from London-based photographer Ronya Galka. www.ronyagalka.com Urban photography."

精準的曝光，完美的構圖，總是能在平淡無奇的日常生活中找到美妙的一刻。透過Ronya Gaika的鏡頭看出去，會發現他的畫面裡都是故事。

This is one of saddest melodies and lyrics in my heart. I think it would be a good introdution for this diary. Today my friend gave me a link that tells a beautiful story about someone's wandering and photography.

The leading role is a legendary man. He traveled to Germany with his camera and shot large amount of photos. It looks very nice. We always consider the age greater, the wish smaller. He makes a strong explanation.

His blog: NIX

Anthony Suau, winner of "World Press Photo" this year, talked about his recent travels in this video made by Leica. I'm very amazed that he takes Leica M6 for work in this digital age. The winner photo represents economic war. That's hitting problem that came to our world last year.

What do you think about a million little pictures? "Art House Co-op" holds a interesting project on the internet now, The project name is "Your Life in 24 Frames - A Million Little Pictures." It welcomes people around the world to take their life by using a simple disposable camera.

When you sign up your name on the project website and pay 21 USD for submission fee, they will send your a disposable camera. You could using it to take 24 shots in your life. And then develop the film, print them, and send back to Art House Co-op. what will it happen? The answer is below.

"On September 25th, 2009, an exhibition housing over 24,000 photographs will be constructed to take you on an adventure through the lives of these thousand artists."

Sounds cool, isn't it?

PS. I've participated in the project.

Wim Wenders is a German director, author, and photographer. He brought his camera to movie work and shot somes images for CARL ZEISS. It looks like Wenders has not passed through digital revolution in his life or work. (But he used M8 last year?) The calendar is below link . 24 photos inside. It says that "24 frames are 1 second in a film, and 24 frames are 1 year in the calendar." The photos are very nice shot moment and color tone. The title name is "Tomorrow Morning". I have no idea that it was his classic or just special case.

▲ Mr. Chang's work "Escape from North Korea" published on "National Geographic Magazine" Feb. 2009.

I met a member of Magnum Photos this week. The man is Mr. Chien-Chi Chang, a international professional photojournalist. He came to visit our General Manager, V, on the day before yesterday. V introduced Mr. Chang to me. I felt excited. I've never thought I have chance to contact Magnum Photos, world's No.1 photo agency, before. It's well-known that every member of Magnum Photos has unique wonderful legendary story, like heroes of photography Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa.

Mr. Chang brought his lastest works to us. As above, "Escape from North Korea" is one of his works. The topic is published on "National Geographic Magazine" Feb. 2009 (國家地理雜誌二月號、英文版與國際中文版同步刊載). This documentary photo gallery is very deep thought. The story tells how people illegally get access from North Korea to South Korea.

Words by Tom O'Neill. Here is the full article. And here is Mr. Chang's photo gallery.

（在此簡介當期內容：北韓人民逃亡到南韓，地理位置雖然只是短短一小步，但逃亡者卻是往中國南進、香港、東南亞、再向北折回中國沿海岸，最後到達自由之地－南韓。長達2000哩的路程，沿路不斷被盤查，他們是如何越過難關？）

Mr. Chang shared his experience. According to some interviews by other media. He used Leica M6 and Summicron 35/2. "Film is very charming." he said.

剛剛在瑪格南圖片社Blog看到這張惡搞的樂高玩具圖，馬上就笑場了...。原圖是傳奇戰地記者Robert Capa（1913-1954）在西班牙內戰拍下的傳世之作。
