mass baptism 洗礼
Photographed a mass baptism at United House of Prayer in northwest DC today. 八月最后的周日,华盛顿西北区的教堂(United House of Prayer)外,信徒们在洗礼。牧师和信徒都激情满怀的样子。乐队吹着激扬的音乐。 我听着牧师的演讲,心里其实有很多怀疑。然后,我看到一个硕大的“大人”坐在牧师身后的一张大椅里,懒洋洋地往后靠着,眯着两眼,那神情和一个腐败官员没两样。一个女孩在旁边摇着一把大扇,为他招风泼凉。他大概是牧师的老板。我已经不再怀疑。关于宗教的话题,总要引起争议,我也懒得多说。点到为止。 我看着信徒们捶胸顿足,眼泪鼻涕混流在嘴角而不知觉,想,这究竟是感动的眼泪,还是迷醉的眼泪?或者--他们不过是借这场合来发泄内心的痛苦。要知道,美国的种族歧视并没有根除,生活在底层的人们,黑人远比白人多。我的一个邻居,有一天在聊天的时候,明言她决不会和黑人恋爱成家。这还是一个受了高等教育的女人。

Obama, are you going to win? 奥巴马,你能赢吗?
Did an assignment at Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, MD this afternoon. A man was wearing a T-shirt with Obama’s face. This guy won some money,but he didn’t always win. In the first picture, he was counting how many tickets … Continue reading

35 Annual Janmastami Fesitval 印度大节日

krishna_1-2 35th-Annual-Janmastami-Festival – Images by xiaomei chen Photographed 35 Annual Janmastami Fesitval in Potomac, MD last Monday. 上周六喝多了两杯,到午夜时,脚下轻飘飘的,头上也轻飘飘的。头和脚往不同的方向飘。接下来两天,头痛恶心,如同大病了一场。 周一,张乃龚问要不要去拍印度人庆祝克利须那(Krishna)神诞辰,即Janmastami Festival。因为仍旧病恹恹的,在家里除了看书,别的也做不了,想着拍片也是一种无意识的体育活动,或许能驱赶我体内的酒精。也就欣然同往去感受印度人的节日。 那是一个多姿多彩的节日,更是一个快乐的节日。女人美丽动人,孩子纯洁可爱,男人面目和蔼。庙堂里的吟唱染遍整个夜空。山谷里的空气既宁静又快乐,感染着每一个人。便是没有宗教信仰的我,都被深深地感动。 从印度的神庙回到家,竟发现我完全摆脱了酒精的困扰,感觉很健康了。 昨日,稍微编辑了图片。 今日,拿出当晚的录音来听。心里某根弦竟又被触动,竟想起拉赫的《交响舞》,泪花在眼眶转了几圈。 为什么我这个无神论者会被宗教的吟唱深深打动?或许是因为渴望信仰(faith,不一定是宗教),而信仰一直离我很远,疑虑却总挥之不去?不知道这是不是中国大陆人们的通病。 即便是愚昧,有信仰的人其实很幸福的。有信仰的人,却不一定愚昧。只不过,很难做到这一点。

i wanna to be fish, if …
If I can’t be a bird, then I’d like to be a fish. A fish that can swim in the ocean and fly in the sky… 如果我不能做鸟,那么,老天,让我做鱼吧,能在海洋游,又能在天空翱翔的鱼。可以吗?

coney island right after dusk
It’s been a while since I last posted any images here. Here are two snapshots from Coney Island, NY, taken several weeks ago. It was a lively place, just as it was the dirtiest beach I’ve even known. I’d love … Continue reading

1st pin hole, quite blurry 首尝针孔,特虚
Maybe the hole is too big? The images come out rather blurry. 可能是孔太大了点,图片出来忒别虚。我也觉得心虚。
DIY grid for my strobes
It is simple. A coffee bag, a bag of straws, sissors, super glue and duck tape. That’s all you need. Oh, and your patience and a mood to be playful.
