Second step came to a halt 第二步嘎然而止
(English text below the Chinese one.) 为以防万一,我提前一个小时到华盛顿西北区房子失火处。一到就发现921号房子的门已开。一个男子在房前扫地。他是屋主的弟弟,来自厄瓜多尔。我说明来意,他很热情地让我进屋拍照。 十一点,我从漆黑的地下室出来,准备上楼继续拍,一个男人的硕大剪影直逼过来。我装着若无其事,说,“咳,你好。” 那人带着怒气责问:“你是谁?你怎么在这里?” 我简单重复了我的火灾项目,并告诉他屋主的弟弟允许我在里头拍照。 当我出门向刚到的屋主问候,再次说明来意,他们点头表示认可,并说不介意我在他们家拍照。 既然主人都同意了,我就耐心等着再进去拍。无聊那个硕大的不友好男人发话了:“你不能进取,不能拍照!” “请问你是谁?”我忍不住问。 “我为他们(屋主)工作,是他们的代理。” 我看看屋主。屋主看看那个硕大的代理,然后说,“既然他说不可以,那就不可以吧。” …… 我向代理要了名片,又给他一张自己的名片,说:“你可以到我的网站看我的作品,包括关于火灾的作品,你会发现,我没有坏的企图。如果你改变主意,请你和联系。” “我是绝不会改变主意的。”那人冷冷地说。 然后,他回头用对屋主说,“我们要…….这都是很单调的事情,你不必呆在这儿看。当然,如果你想留下来也可以。” 我心想,嗯,这家伙想主宰这房里的一切,不希望主人有任何干涉和建议。我希望屋主不要随便接受人家的摆布。 这时,屋主十六岁的儿子说:“我还是想留下来看看。也许你们可以教教我。” 我希望这年青是精明而警惕的。 ……. 离开时,我安慰自己:幸亏早来了一个小时,否则连一张图片都拍不到…… 这组图片,除了头几张利用现有的光线——从门进去的光线,其余的图片都靠一个微小的手电筒。这算不算不诚实呢?好好想了想,认为自己还是诚实的,因为地下室里一片漆黑,任何人去那儿都必须靠手电筒,我只是拍了通过手电筒的光看到的东西。 I am quite a nervous person. Each time I do something I care a lot, … Continue reading

finally take a second step 终于挪出第二步
(注:中文在英文下面) Not long after I moved back to DC, I contacted several fire departments in the area and explained to them my fire project, hoping they would help me gain access for my fire project. They sounded quite understanding and … Continue reading

zen of fire? 焦之禅?
(More images can be seen here: http://cameraobscura.busdraghi.net/2011/interview-xiaomei-chen/) (注:英文下面是中文日记。另,这里还有一些图片:http://cameraobscura.busdraghi.net/cn/2011/chinese-chen-xiaomei/) This project, with such potentials names as “zen of fire,” ‘after fire” “the charred,” etc, started all because Rex’s mother had a house fire last month. I was buying a lottery ticket … Continue reading

Good morning, tortoise 乌龟,早上好
I started roaming around a burnt ranch 15 miles east of Snyder, TX around sunrise. It was eerie and strangely beautiful. It was almost too quiet until a tortoise shrunk its head under its shell. But I know it was … Continue reading
