二、展覽介紹 Introduction of Exhibition

011012走入非洲南端,感覺很蕭瑟,荒涼的大地上盡是一片淡黃色調,草地與枯枝都往同一個方向傾斜,這就是風吹過的痕跡。拍拍走走,腳步偶爾緩慢,偶爾匆匆,我發現自己除了看見美麗的動物與風景之外,我還看見了風的線條。於是,我決定用相機去找尋那風掠過的影子。

走入非洲大陸,我並不是要拍攝動物的大特寫,卻希望可以記錄到它們生活在大自然空間的氛圍。常看見野生動物的影像,精彩的特寫與完美的畫面多不勝數,如果我們的拍攝目的也是如此,那攝影作品的呈現就毫無特色可言。若沒有另一種獨特的切入拍攝概念,我想我是不會踏上這個野生動物的國度。

於是,追風、捕影是我這趟旅程最主要的主題;雖然對拍攝野生動物充滿著期待,但我也開始看見風的感覺。風起時,大地掀起了風沙;風停時,大地留下了她的軌跡。
我是從風中穿越而過的攝影人,留住了風掠過的影子。

011015I set foot on the Southern region of Africa, a feeling of desolation dawned on me. The forlorn land was a tinge of yellow, the grassland and the tree stumps swayed in unison to one direction that was the evidence of the wind trodden path.

On this photographic journey, besides the amazing animals and gorgeous landscapes, it was the artwork of the wind that held me in awe. Hence, with my camera in hand I allowed my mind to lead me into the imageries created by the wind. My mission to this African continent was not merely for the sake of wildlife portraits, it was also my wish to document the local lifestyle in the arms of Mother Nature.

In wildlife photography, very often we see only portraits of animals. If this is our purpose of coming here, then there will be a lack of distinctiveness. Having to make the best use of the umpteen days we had, without a special focus or distinction, I think neither would I be here in this land of wild games nor would I give a thought to an exhibition of it.

Hence, chasing after the imageries of the wind was my prime objective in this land. Initially, I was looking forward to wildlife shots and also began to develop my own ideas in sensing the wind. 

When the wind gusts, the land churns into a sand veil, when the wind dies down, its mark of trail settles on the land. I am the photo-creator who braved the wind and captured imageries that were brushed by the wind.
