Muechen to Fuessen (2004.8.23) - Alps Foothills

  离开平淡的大皇宫,不如回到美丽的德国南部吧。
  又兴致昂然的开始修复图片。隔着有雨渍的车窗,我记得那时多么渴望能够在这路途停下,走下去,然而火车一直向前开。
  嗯,俺修图的水平越来越好了,photoshop的技术已经发展到使用高深的拉索工具,长此以往,有朝一日失了业可以去当修图工。:)
  所以不轮什么情况,拍总是对的,不要失望,再不济还可以修修补补,但路过的瞬间,一去永不复返。
  修图修得很愉快,多么美丽阿。
  
  如果有人让你去新天鹅堡,你一定要去,并且,在半途就忘掉原来的目的地,尽情在遍地绿野的阿尔卑斯山麓流连忘返。


我想只有诗的语言才能和这些相当,可是,我能想到的诗,那么少
Too little poems I can catch in my mind for such beautiful scenary

我不知道什么人会愿意离开这里,否则午夜梦回,草地上打盹的牛羊,太刺伤人心了。

休憩的割草机
Grass cutter in rest

一棵树
A tree

梦境一样的不真实,带我向前走吧
as unreal as in a dream

牛蹄经过的天空
cow in the sky

火车一直向前开,我想停留
running train, please stay

闲散的奶牛
cows resting

一条小路
a trail

那么近,那么远

'你,
一会看我,
一会看云。

我觉得,
你看我时很远,
你看云时很近。'

So far, so near

'You
look at me
and look at the cloud.

I feel
So far when you look me
So near when you look the cloud'

Well, actually I mean the two little houses interesting. Far or near.



拖拉机

向日葵
sun flowers

生活在蓝天下

森林边缘,故事出口
edge of forest, outlet of stories

从明天起,做一个幸福的人
喂马,劈柴,周游世界
'Tommorrow, make me a happy man
Feed my horse, chop the woods, and travel arround the world'


反光的玻璃窗和山脚下的牛群
glass reflection and cows

草原千里闪着绿波涛

痕迹,鸟飞过留下天空,有时候,静静的水面,也是记得
The imprint, sometimes calmness is also to remember

千万条岁月如阡陌纵横,而我应该在哪个角落继续等候?
Waiting in the matrix of time lines

阿尔卑斯,阿尔卑斯

  很美的田园,可以想象当火车飞奔过田野时是多么美丽!
  有张照片的长宽比好像有点不对,是不是被你咔嚓掉了呀!

  Thanks, sebastel. :)
  maybe need a help page (I will do that), zhong wen is complicated as it is. I was thinking of add some English, but it is just hard to describle, I am good at no more than 'Dear customer, please open your connection...'
  You like the second last... em, is it a little 'metaphysical'? ;-)
  
  是的,我把那张裁了,左边兜到了车窗框子。不过景象很好,所以还是把它收拾干净了帖上来

  metaphysical? depends on the way you look at it.
  i think it is - a little ...
  
  your pictures of the toy puppets are definitively metaphysical, if you ask me.
  ;-)
  
  concerning english additions to this page, i was happy if could help you.

  Well, I get problem with 'metaphysical'....
  Tell the truth, I don't know what it exactly means.
  You said Mr. Herbert List's Black and White photos are so good because somehow they are considered 'metaphysical'
  Then I check dictionary, metaphysical is 形而上学 in Chinese.
  Well, I only remember I saw this word when Mr Karl Marx's theory is introduced. Some phylosophy is 'metaphysical', some other is another kind and Karl Marx is what what what (of course something perfect).
  So what is it?
  Why Herbert List is good for so called 'metaphysical'?
  I should admit, I really did a bad job in phylosophy, especial Socialism Phylosophy. This one I did bad, and did nothing in other phylosophy. :)))

  sebastian says:
  
  the word "meta physic" means: "about physics"
  in the greek philosophy, any (nature)science was considered "physics". but philosophers considered that there must be more, something that is behind physics, and determines the way physics are.
  the science considering this "about" was called "metaphysics".
  
  an example: a fish is "assembled" from bones, flesh, skin and so on. you can look at it from a materialistic point of view (and simply eat it).
  but what is the difference between a living fish, and a dead fish?
  
  the difference is not the material, cannot be found in a "physical" description.
  the difference belongs to the "metaphysical" area.
  
  (i am very bad at philosophy, too ... hope my description works somehow)
  
  now back to Herbert List's photography: the pictures seem to show something, that is not material, or light. actually, not "physical". they seem to refer to the "higher" reality, the transcendental. and that is why his photography is called "metaphysical".
  
  (so far my weak understanding of these issues)

  Ah, I see. Now it is very clear. Thank you, Sebastian.
  Yes, there are things more than glass, light, shaddow in the photos.
  
  (Sorry, didn't put up the topic:

Herbert List)

  sebastel smiles:
  :-))))
  
  another good example:
  
  
  more could be added, but we should not turn this a herbert list gallery, instead of a lin zhiqing gallery.
  
  'til later

  xiao lin, we should definitively put a how-to-use article on.
  
  bis dann,

  Emm, this is FAQ no.2:
  'No HTML tag supported'
  It changes '<' into double byte '<' automatically when input comments.
  But I can change it back as the admin of this blog.
  Help is already there. At the bottom of this page. But not enough yet, this problem not included.
  
  For the good example you put on, this is the exact one I have problem to understand.
  The title for it is: Viciou at Lykahettos, Athens, Greece, 1937
  What is Viciou?
  Why she holds a mirror? Why so special?
  
  
评论人:乱看 评论日期:2004-11-7 18:38


  sebastel says sorry for not reading the help before....
  
  concerning the title of the picture -- no idea what viciou means, but in my book, the title of this picture is "Geist des Lykabettos I".
  
  "Geist" is a german word that has several meanings:
  ghost, spirit, mind, morale
  
  looks like here 'ghost' is the correct meaning.
  
  Lykabettos (or lykavitos) is the highest mountain in/around athens, greece, well known for its view and being one of the few silent places in this big noisy town.
  
  i do not know whether i understand this picture correctly, but it keeps me thinking of it. one of my ideas is that it is some kind of portrait, where you do not see the "other" (person), but merely a reflection of yourself.
  
  i cannot tell you why it is special, i can only tell that it keeps me thinking, and it is still interesting to me although i know it for a long time now. so there is something in it i still could not get to the bottom of.
  
  btw, it is only the first picture of a series.

  :)
  You can't read it before. Because I just add it very recently.
  
  I found this topic very very interesting...
  I suppose it is very magic if one photo can always make one thinking, even after long long years.
  Now I understand why you like it. Maybe that is the charm, Herbert List coveys a vague idea in it, so nice not to show it sharp and strong, the whole procedure to catch the idea brings so much pleasure. Mysterious.
  
  Let's open a new thread...

  :(
  Failed to logon. Seems the site is under maintanence...
  OK, open it tommorrow.
  Topic: Why Herbert List is great? Discuss the photos... :)))
评论人:乱看 评论日期:2004-11-7 21:02


  sebastel again.
  
  just returned from a short photo-excursion. short, because all batteries failed much too early. hope it was my fault at loading.
  
  a new thread is maybe a good idea. maybe not reserve it to herbert list alone, but discussing (special) photographers in general?
