Albert Einstein
Physics is just an explanation or theorization of the natural phenomenon. There is nothing strange about it when explained. But when any theory in physics was first discovered, no one but the mad scientist himself knew what it was all about. Newton and Einstein were like that at their time. But their theories are understood […]
Digital photography
A friend said Erwin Puts’ recent article on Respect on the Image at the following link is worth reading: http://www.imx.nl/photosite/comments/c006.html He also said “From my own experience, the casual attitude that one adopts in taking digital photos does degrade the photographic process somewhat. When you can take as many pictures as you like at no […]
Flower Show
終於到花展一遊,天氣不錯,略有陽光,但我卻沒有帶相機,對著人工堆砌的植物,總是提不起勁拍照。不過環顧四周,名貴相機可真不少,Canon 1Ds都看見幾架。看著各種插在人工土堆或花盆的植物,有遊覽動物園的感覺;尤其是插花藝術展,活生生的植物都被肢解。我們一向認為植物是次等生物,不過植物亦可能同樣看我們;因為動物連最基本的太陽能也不懂得用,而植物很久很久以前已使用光合作用。 今天早上探訪真正生活的植物,感覺它們快樂得多;請看看幾幅快照。
BookFes 灣仔書節
昨天往灣仔書節一遊,感覺氣氛十分熱鬧。人很多,大人小孩都興高采烈。我覺得這個較貼近群眾的安排比在會展舉行的書展還要好;不需入場費,不用排隊,二三十個展覽商,可以花一兩個小時,精神體力尚可支持。書種很多,香港書、大陸書、台灣書、英文書都有,不過沒有其他外文書。請看以下熱鬧場面。 短短一遊,我買的書比在書展買的還要多。和書展一樣,書商散貨,我們買平書。買了印刷精美的畫冊和歷史書,又找到老夫子再發行版本,連光碟。 書節還有很多節目,這個小女孩在朗誦她讀過的故事書。 我相信書節會在各區舉行。灣仔書節遺憾的是地點太熱鬧了。鄰近是花展,我卻連維多利亞公園也擠不進。遊花展要再等兩天,希望會有陽光。最慘是賓妹和賣手電服務和寬頻上網的人,所有地盤都沒有了,全部人等都要擠在公園和皇室行中間的小小空間。
