Just read Eric Kim’s new article, and have some thoughts to share with you guys. He listed out five musts that people usually told the beginner to follow or to obey. Same as Eric, I just don’t give a shit of it. It did cause me some problems by not following what other photographers did. […]

Randomly see one of the chopsticks designed by a famous Japanese design firm called Nendo. What makes me feel exciting and empowered is one of the chopsticks that they designed, it is exactly the same concept and idea as what I did for salt and pepper shaker school project when I was still at SJSU.

Again, some friends might got disappointed after entered my website and see bunch of Chinese character and have no idea what I am typing about. Well, it really depends what comes in my mind before typing. Sometimes I think about what I am going to share in Mandarin, so it is way easier for me
Again, most of Taiwanese love saying “do yourself!” “be yourself” over and over again, why? I guess they just keep change themselves according to the idealized vision of others. Therefore, whenever they see someone really “being themselves”, they will either envy or jealous because most of them can only pretending they are “doing themselves”. But

Some thoughts after quick viewing Eric’s new article, and he mentioned something that I shared to you guys the other with my article. One of the reason I prefer walking instead of jogging or tuning is that most people only care about his/her breathing, blood pressure, and heart rating, no one really get the chance

But in Taiwan, people use it like eating fast food even it is unnecessary because visiting a doctor is super convenient and CHEAP!!! The government suppose to provide equal health information and

我常常跟人分享，日本，真的是非常適合企業家搞創意(不是搞怪)的國家; 但前提是，你臉皮要夠厚，能夠承受被日本人或其他腦袋還活在上世紀的人在網路上痛罵的壓力。 如果你有信心能做到，日本真的是很具挑戰性但也相對有機會闖出一片天的國家。” 今天就拿最近攝影圈還蠻熱的新聞來跟大家分析和分享一下。 如果有稍微在追蹤攝影相關新聞的人應該都知道fujifilm最近推出了一款適合街拍的隨身機Fujifilm X100V，當然為了衝銷量，富士找了不少位業界有頭有臉有名氣的攝影師拍攝宣傳影片，結果就爆出一位拍攝手法被大家罵翻的攝影師鈴木達朗。很多人覺得他拍攝的手法太超過，甚至有不少人嗆聲如果在路上被他遇到對方在拍他，他一定把對方痛扁一頓; 我看了只覺得好笑，並想勸大家一句，「對方拍你，不一定有罪; 但你揍他，肯定不會沒事」。 所以嘴炮打一打自己爽就好，不要逞一時之勇，真的去做。 其實在這篇新聞爆發前我就已經看過鈴木達朗先生的作品，應該說我是先找到youtube上他在外國街拍的影片，然後才被他拍攝的手法和作品所吸引，真心覺得這人真他媽的超屌，都不怕被人家打嗎? 但在看到他的作品之後，覺得能拍出這麼棒的一瞬間，偶爾被打一次好像也值了，當然能不被打最好啦! 哈~ 看到新聞內容還有提到網友說什麼他假借「抓拍、街拍」之名，行「偷拍」之實，我看了也是大笑三聲，人家相機都拿出來明擺著給你看了，是在「偷拍」什麼? 那些拿火箭筒或大砲假裝拍風景，其實都在拍路人的才叫「偷拍」吧?! 而且最好笑的是，請問這些網友有在拍照? 有什麼拿得上台面的作品嗎? 不然怎麼都講的自己很專業很厲害的樣子? 當然也有不少自認「攝影大師」的人拍影片訐譙了鈴木達朗一番，但也看不到這幾位「大師」有什麼比較有說服力的作品來主張自己的立場是對的… 反倒是某網友的留言讓我看了覺得最中肯，他說「請問如果今天富士只po他的作品出來，而沒有放上他拍攝的過程，大家還會這樣批判他嗎?」這句話，很值得大家思考一番。 講了那麼多跟鈴木先生有關的事後，稍微回歸正題，聊一下為什麼富士是落伍或所謂上世紀的公司吧。 因為鈴木先生是富士公司自己找來的代言人，他們在找他之前，沒有先了解過他的拍攝手法跟風格嗎? 沒有事先想過這樣的影片出來後，那種思相保守到爆的大部分國民會有什麼反應嗎? 怎麼宣傳影片被罵翻後就把影片下架還把人家從代言人中除名呢? 這些罵的人，真的都是用富士的相機嗎? 不然你這麼在乎這些人的反應做什麼呢? 富士真的會因為這支影片就失去了富士長久打下來的品牌形象嗎? 因為市場一些無關緊要的反應就做出違背原則的事情，這就是大公司的包衭，也就是大公司大企業在新世紀很難成長跟創新的原因。 所以我才會認為日本是一個很值得企業家挑戰和實現創意的國家，只要有人開始痛罵你，不要難過，你可能已經在成功的軌道上了。 (參考文章) https://www.dcfever.com/news/readnews.php?id=27179&page=2 (參考文章2) https://www.dcfever.com/news/readnews.php?id=27198 #tatsuosuzuki #streetphotography LOVE YOURSELF – Charlie

I am not quite sure how to translate 外拍 to English, so I just made up the word “out-door shooting”. We call it out-door shooting because the activity is holding outside of studios or some particular interior spaces. As you can easily tell, studio shooting is shooting at the studio that owned by some professional
