ryu 的快照

Watched the 2004 remake of the horror classic "Dawn of the Dead" this weekend. Pretty well done for an entertaining flick. An interesting scene -

After discovering the undead aimlessly wandering the parking lot of the hugh shopping mall, non-zombie Francine asks her boyfriend Stephen, "What are they doing? Why do they come here?"

Stephen replies, "Some kind of instinct. Memory. What they used to do. This was an important place in their lives."

Cool. Look harder, you might spot a zombie in these photos.

I am starting to enjoy shooting this series - I truely believe this opens up a whole new world for my photographic pursuance. Mundane stuff/scenes around us, the "democratic colors" as Eggleston put it, actually mean a lot more than they look if we look closer with a curious mind.

Time, space, religion, meditation, dream sequence. What have I seen?

I drove by the Shaw's in my neighborhood late afternoon that day, the lighting was good, a couple kids were riding the coin-op horses. I pulled my car into the lot, the kids were gone by then, all thats left are just the coke machines, carousel and a puddle.

最后一次去光孝寺恐怕已经是十年前了。现在看着这些照片突然觉得对那个地方熟悉得象我自己的手背。
