絕對唔係剩係打排球㗎
操練因為隨時準備好救人救火
很好看的一輯相。借分享向消防員致敬
It all began with serendipity and curiosity. I spent six years in my photography workshop and the ventilation shaft of the bathroom had always been shut. The scenery outside had never caught my attention until one day there was this howl out of the blue, so I went over to the window for a look.
And there they were – firefighters enjoying a game of volleyball. It so happened that the bathroom window of my workshop looked right over Chai Wan Fire Station, and offered a vantage point for an omniscient view of whatever was going on down there: assemblies, washing up fire engines, pupils’ visits, volleyball games. That tiny window opened up a brand new chapter of a curious journey. At first I only peered down out of curiosity, and spent a month just prying, but the more I looked the more I was intrigued. Those frames just popped up in my head even with my eyes closed, and no longer could I bear to leave them untaken. The itch acted up, and once started, I just couldn’t bring myself to stop.
一切從巧遇和好奇開始。我在工作室六年了,本來廁所氣窗一直關閉,沒留意街外風景。直至一天,突然聽到有人叫囂,忍不住到窗邊看看。原來有消防員在打排球!
工作室的窗正對著柴灣消防局,操場上的一舉一動如集隊、抹車、小學生參觀、打排球等,通通一目了然,揭開了我好奇窺探的一章。那天的初遇,我只拍了一張隨興的照片,其後的一個月,一張照片也沒拍。開始只出於好奇地看,但越看得多,那些畫面越靚,後來那些畫面連閉眼也會想起,我就不捨得不拍。一開始了,便停不了。
