阿波羅大廈 Apollo Building - Taipei

One of the buildings that is very close to me when I grew up in the late 80s and early 90s.

Apollo Building. Think this is one of the typical examples of middle class modernist residential

buildings in Taipei.  I took the photo above in the summer of 2012.

1980~1987年出廠的Pentax ME Super底片機在春暖花開的時刻被我們拿出來, 放進柯達感光200的底片, 重現老相機的韻味. 第一次使用非傻瓜非數位的相機, 光是445克的重量就讓我手痠. 加上要注意焦距, 光線, 構圖, 快門速度等等元素, 平均拍一張相片得思考個1分鐘多. 眼睛也咪的流淚. 

攝影的發名改變世界, 也改變人看世界的方法.  數位相機亦是. 使用底片機的良善在於, 會花時間去看事物的紋理.  每張照片花的心思多了自然對每次按下快門的時候多了一份情感. 

等待也是重新學的功課. 不能馬上看拍好的成品. 

或許幾年後我們再來畫畫吧.
