Complicated

生活變得好複雜、好虛偽、好累，我想大聲吶喊。

與堅持的妥協

這陣子以來，看了不少HTML, CSS, JavaScript的書，
說穿了就是想把自己的Blog用的專業一點，畢竟也算是一樣代表自己的東西，
不過動作太慢，一直無法將心中想法徹底實現，加上越積越多的旅遊照片等著寫成文章，
所以決定跟堅持妥協，暫時用Free Template，邊學網頁語法，邊整理照片與生活點滴。

過程中，以很妙的方式多看多學了一點blogger語法，也算是一種進步吧，我想；
多看，指的是survey的過程，發現了很多專業designer的作品，Free and Great..
BTemplates, BTemplates-Blog, Blogger Blog Templates, 都是很棒的資源網站；

遇到包含指定URL的Template, 使我第一次試著將檔案放到很多部落客推薦的Google Site上面，雖然有用過Site, 不過第一次要上傳檔案還是摸不著門路, 多虧這篇討論串....

生活紀錄.

雖說不大應該，但每天在工作之餘，總有時不經意沉迷以攝影為主題的網路迷宮裡；
越覺得該停止，就越發現更多的好地方，不停地，無盡的，開啟新的網頁。
在吸收紀錄完，或是看到累了之前，捨不得將此些足跡抹去。

因漂亮的中國攝影師羅曉韻而發現MOKO這個藝術網站；

photoblog.hk介紹的活動官網: London Street Photography Festival 2012；

上述網頁中，找尋國外支持攝影活動的廠商，名單中發現了"British Journal of Photography"(and one good article in it)..

愛好攝影的人事物如此的多，可以倘佯在其中享受，真是種幸福，回歸本業之前，總得將今日的足跡一一刻畫下來，才覺得心安；

Keep recording everyday.

Come to office on Sunday, to accompany M to finish her coding jobs. I bring the CSI DVD, and after watching one volume (season 5, vol.3, Death pool 100), I get a smart method to find out the closing songs of each volume. They usually be fantastic, soft jazz tone.

This's the first time I listen the attractive ending song and google it, according to part of it's lyrics. "Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie", and a great website that record many theme songs of TV shows -- Heardontv(main, CSI page). I think this is a great way to practice my listening and enjoy many fantastic Jazz background songs...

"Death Cab for Cutie" -- is an American alternative rock band formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997. I love their soft songs, not rock. :D (at the same time, there is another comfortable, soft female vocal version of Transatlanticism by Millie Tizzard).

Great Photographer - Bresson.

Below texts came from the website of Henri Cartier Bresson, the great photographer.
Those words are so meaningful and beautiful, I have to record it here and read repeatly.

"For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to “give a meaning” to the world, one has to feel involved in what one frames through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.

To take a photograph is to hold one’s breath when all faculties converge in a face of fleeing reality. It is at that moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.

To take a photograph means to recognize – simultaneously and within a fraction of a second– both the fact itself and the rigorous organisation of visually perceived forms that give it meaning.

It is putting one’s head, one’s eye, and one’s heart on the same axis."

I love this kind of interview article.

Especially, those speaking cane from thoughtful photographers.
