A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
摄影
Photography
I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.
我希望更多的人觉得摄影是一种和生活本身一样的冒险,觉得自己的个人感受是值得表达的。对我来说,这让摄影更令人兴奋。
A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.
一张好的照片是一个人对所拍摄事物的最深刻的感受的完整表达,因此,是一个人对生活整体感受的真实表达。
While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.
也许在某个领域,照片只能告诉我们我们亲眼所见,除此之外别无其他,但在另一个领域,它向我们证明,我们的眼睛不允许我们看到多少东西。
Some photographers take reality... and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.
有些摄影师把现实…并把自己的思想和精神强加于人。另一些人更温柔地来到现实面前,照片对他们来说是爱和启示的工具。
To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
对我来说,摄影是一种观察的艺术。它是关于在一个普通的地方发现一些有趣的东西…我发现这与你所看到的事物无关,而是与你看待事物的方式有关。
Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.
摄影记录了人类脸上所写的各种情感,人类所继承的大地与天空之美,人类所创造的财富与困惑。它是解释人与人之间关系的主要力量。
So when I became interested in photography and further being inspired by the work that I saw of Ansel and others, it was a natural extension to go back to these places that I knew as a kid and explore them with my camera.
因此,当我对摄影产生兴趣,并进一步受到我所看到的安塞尔和其他人的作品的启发时,我很自然地又回到了我小时候熟悉的那些地方,用我的相机探索它们。
Oh my goodness gracious, what you can buy off the Internet in terms of overhead photography. A trained ape can know an awful lot of what is going on in this world, just by punching on his mouse, for a relatively modest cost.
哦,我的天哪,你能从网上买到什么关于头顶摄影。训练有素的类人猿只需花费相对适中的代价,用拳头敲一下鼠标,就能知道这个世界上发生了什么可怕的事情。
In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.
在我的脑海里,我想象着一个特别的……视觉和感觉会出现在印刷品上。如果它让我兴奋,很有可能拍出一张好照片。这是一种直觉,一种来自大量实践的能力。
With photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will.
摄影创造了一种新的语言。现在,我们第一次可以用现实来表达现实。我们可以看着一个印象,只要我们愿意,我们可以深入研究它,可以说,恢复过去的经验随意。
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.
成为一名优秀的摄影师需要很大的想象力。成为一名画家,你不需要太多的想象力,因为你可以创造东西。但在摄影中,一切都是那么平凡;在你学会看到不平凡之前,你需要仔细观察。
To act with common sense according to the moment, is the best wisdom I know; and the best philosophy is to do one's duties, take the world as it comes, submit respectfully to one's lot; bless the goodness that has given us so much happiness with it,
我所知道的最好的智慧,就是根据当时的情况,用常识行事;最好的哲学是尽自己的责任,顺其自然,恭敬地服从自己的命运;上帝保佑赐予我们如此多幸福的善良,
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Photography is all about secrets. The secrets we all have and will never tell.
摄影是关于秘密的。我们都有也永远不会说的秘密。
Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness.
摄影充其量只是一个小小的声音,但有时一张照片,或者一组照片,就能吸引我们的意识。
As an avid photographer, I also took advantage of the latest technology in photography - digital photography - to post photos on my website on a daily basis.
作为一名狂热的摄影师,我也利用最新的摄影技术——数码摄影——每天在我的网站上发布照片。
When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.
当文字变得模糊时,我将用照片聚焦。当形象变得不合适时,我将满足于沉默。
A good photograph is knowing where to stand.
好的照片是知道该站在哪里。
Photography is a major force in explaining man to man.
摄影是解释人与人之间关系的主要力量。
