A few snapshots from New York weeks ago, which I almost forgot. 几张在纽约拍的散图，要不是昨日整理图片，都忘了它们了。 骑自行车去MoMa时，路过这个餐馆，被里头的红、黑二色吸引，就走进去和人家瞎聊一会儿。Riding a bike past this restaurant, I was struck by the red and black in it, thus went in to take a look. 每次坐地铁，都不能把眼睛从墙上的画面拉走。I can never take … Continue reading →

sound of nyc 上周在纽约，天天被各种噪音包围，睡觉不安稳，时时刻刻都犯困。有点恼怒。就借了朋友的录音机，收集了许多噪音，今天把他们合成在一起。目的就是让你们也体会一下国际都市的声音污染。抱歉。。。作为补偿，在博文末尾给一个《渔樵问答》的连谏，安抚一下你们听完噪音后的烦躁情绪。 After listening many times to the recordings of the noises I collected in New York last week, I was too overwhelmed not to escape from my laptop. I sat at the porch for almost two hours … Continue reading →

rain 雨

Posted on June 23, 2011 by admin

If I were Carl Sandburg, I’d write: “The monotone of the rain is beautiful, And the sudden rise and slow relapse Of the long multitudinous rain.” Obviously I am not Carl Sandburg, because the rain in New York today felt … Continue reading →
