昨天，我笑了。笑的别扭，停不下来，却不知道到底该怎么发声儿的好，憋的慌。这是特小孩那种笑。我笑啊笑啊，不敢抬头看大家好奇的眼光。最后，终于笑得没力气了。我转身继续工作。

9.13.
大鸟成群地飞。拿起相机等着它们自动飞进镜头，1分钟后发现自己很傻B。大鸟原来每个圈儿都不是同一个轨迹。于是，我失落。将视角稍做移动后，发现了个特美好的景儿。在离大鸟飞行轨道不远处，几只小麻雀特别可爱地做着不一样的飞行。不成群，没有大鸟们貌似很有规律的规律。它们只是特别自在地转啊转啊，自顾自地。貌似是弥补了梵之前的反感之晴，（反感也许只是出于它们没有乖乖进入我的镜头的原因。或者，梵只愿意考虑类似这样的原因）梵傻笑着，观摩着，幸福地观摩着。

照片未冲印。待续。
Ps原来梵的日子一直过慢了整整2天。

向往ing:35mm Lego Camera

Last night I tackled the project of a 35mm version of my medium format pinhole Lego camera. It turned out to be easier than I expected. I should probably have spent the time making better instructions for the medium format version, but rest assured, those are in the works. Anyway, here are a couple highlights of this camera's design that are different from the medium format version...

1. Obviously it is smaller than the medium format Lego camera. Here is a picture that shows the size comparison:


2. The film advance is the same in that the advance knob can only turn one direction. Since we don't have the spools of 120 film to worry about, the film just winds around the thin Lego axle. I used a Dremmel tool to cut a thin slice out of the axle. The film goes through this slit when you first load the film. Here is a photo of how the film loads. You can see that I haven't painted the inside black, yet. The silver is the aluminum tape I use for lightproofing it:


3. Again, there are two parts to the camera. The second part just encloses the inside box to keep light out. Here is a view where you can see both parts:

The medium format version had a red window to help tell what frame you are on. Obviously 35mm film doesn't have numbers on it or backing paper, so a red window doesn't belong on this camera. So how do you tell what frame you are on? This is probably the biggest drawback of this camera. You will have to count the clicks of the advance knob and guess when you are on the next frame. At the beginning of the roll it takes around 38 clicks and when you get to the end of the roll it only takes about 22 clicks. I might have to rethink a better film counter method, but this works for now.

4. The shutter is a little different on this camera. I made a door that swings open when you turn the knob. I don't love this design either, but it works pretty well.

5. Now in color! Partly because I am running out of black Legos, I had a little fun and made this one red and blue.

6. A couple other things to consider. There isn't a rewind mechanism, so when you get to your last frame, you will have to take it into a dark room and rewind it by hand. Maybe I can figure out a way to make a rewind knob, but I can't think of anything right now.

As you can see, I still want to tinker with this camera a bit. That means there will probably be a delay before I make instructions available. On the bright side, I have completed building the medium format version in Bricksmith and plan on making them available very soon.

UPDATE 1: Thanks for everyone's comments, and sorry for forgetting a link to my [Lego photo gallery](http://www.foundphotography.com/archives/lego/). Follow that link to see thumbnails of all the photos taken with my Lego cameras. The color photos were taken with the 35mm Lego camera and most of the other ones were taken with the medium format version.
UPDATE 2: I have posted the Bricksmith files for anyone interested in building the medium format version of this camera. The film advance works the same on that camera, so anyone trying to attempt building this 35mm version may find it useful.

妥协
今夏阳光灿烂无比。我们陷入了自己和自己和自己的感情纠纷。
一种无形的膨胀，疾速蔓延。于是，压力开始无孔不入地进攻我们的身体，以及灵魂。各种社会，个人关系的介入，生存告诉我们，必须接受，生存也提醒了我们，不得不作出相对的退步。于是，“妥协”成了人类后天对自身强迫性改动的必须。虽然从来不曾明白，这样一系列妥协的具体原因，和内容。
卡尔·曼海姆有说法，认为我们可以是“自由漂浮”的和“非依附性”的。然而，此理想状态必要，充分条件，是一种完全独立的状态。我们独立吗？大网网住了我们的思路，限制了我们的自由。无数次准超然突破现状的妄想无例外败给了现状。然后重省千疮百孔的自己，另一个自己祥装英勇地回答，我们还得继续。

《十分钟 年华老去》
Footage: 106+91min

Year: 2002


Actually these are two compilation films, combining 15 ten-minute films about the most universal of all subjects: time. 15 internationally respected filmmakers offer different perspectives on time and fate — some witty, some somber. Using the technology of film in innovative, provocative ways, Ten Minutes Older takes in all human experience: birth, death, love, sex, the drama of the moment, history and ancient myth; and a great variety of locations all over the world.

主演：大卫·海明斯、温尼莎·瑞德格雷夫

写实与荒诞
托马斯，跟随视觉，放大景象的双眼。2个故事的穿插间。现实的不再真实，而虚幻的画面却如此真实的存在。生活就是如此的循环着，延伸着，有时，一切曾经发生过的故事，在瞬间没了音训。
惊叹60年代时候的安东尼奥尼竟能作出如此佳作。

【拍摄背景】二十世纪三十年代末，好莱坞开始依靠雄厚的实力制作大型长片动画电影，并于1938年推出了投资百万元的动画片《白雪公主》，其长度和普通故事片相当。影片推出后，风靡全球。由此，中国一些电影厂的资本家也萌生了制作大型动画的念头。当时的新华联合影业公司专门成立了“卡通部”，聘请中国动画的先驱者之一万古蟾为主管，决定拍摄大型动画片《铁扇公主》，并于1941年9月最终摄制完成。

《铁扇公主》取材于古典小说《西游记》中“孙悟空三借芭蕉扇”一段故事，绘制画稿近两万幅、拍摄毛片1.8万余尺，成片长达9700英尺，可放映1小时20分钟，是我国第一部大型动画片。影片由万籁鸣、万古蟾联合导演，他们除借鉴了美国动画片中的一些元素外，大胆吸取了中国古典绘画和古典文化艺术的营养，使中国山水画的风格被成功地搬上银幕。为扩大影响，影片由当红明星白虹、严月玲、姜明、韩兰根、殷秀岑配音。万氏兄弟在电影放映中还尝试用红色玻璃纸挡住镜头，使片中的火焰山放出红光，在黑白动画片中创造了彩色动画的效果。当时正值抗日战争的艰难岁月，万氏兄弟动员了100多名工作人员参加制作，费时一年半时间才制作完成。在影片进入制作的关键时期后，出现资金的短缺，几乎使制作工作夭折。后得上海财团“上元银公司”的资助，才得以最终完成。影片于1941年底在上海上映，获得空前好评，其后又在香港和东南亚及日本上映，反响热烈。日本动画片《铁臂阿童木》的导演、日本动画和漫画的鼻祖手冢治虫，就是在看了这部动画后放弃学医，决定从事动画创作的。

影片摄制于抗战时期，片中体现了“全国人民联合对敌、争取抗战最后胜利”的隐喻意义，曾引起国内外广大观众的强烈反响。

【经典场景】影片中的孙悟空采用了京剧中孙悟空的扮相，明显地突出了猴子的特征，并巧妙地运用了拟人手法，绘画技巧相当高超，表情也很丰富。孙悟空既是勇敢的英雄，又相当活泼，让人感到可爱可亲；同时，他既有人类性，又具有动物性。这种兼而有的特征，成功地展现了魔仙奇异的魅力，这显然是当时美国和其他国家的动画片所不具备的长处。又比如猪八戒喝了铁扇公主送来的酒后醉倒了，于是立即发出了大肥猪的声音。被化妆成某种动物外型的女妖从背后看是动物，但回过头去却又成了一个娇媚微笑着美女。牛魔王在云端被孙悟空打败，满地打滚，顿时显出牛的本相，接着夹在大树的裂缝中，被孙悟空抓住。这些情节与其说是漫画型的，不如说是凄惨的。

《铁扇公主》不但是第一部中国动画长片，也是亚洲当时的第一长动画片。在世界电影史上，它则是名列美国的《白雪公主》、《小人国》和《木偶奇遇记》之后的第四部大型动画艺术片。

《铁扇公主》的创作，标志着万氏兄弟在动画片编导、摄制技巧上达到了较完善的程度。他们吸取古典绘画和古典文化艺术的营养，使静止不动的中国山水画成功地搬上银幕，创作出具有中国民族形式特点的动画片。影片塑造了许多富有民间传说色彩的生动艺术形象，是万氏兄弟在艺术风格形成初期的重要代表作。



小猫钓鱼



【经典场景】主题歌 《劳动最光荣》－“幸福的生活哪里来，要靠劳动来创造……”，著名作曲家黄準为影片配歌流传至今。在造型上，影片与其说将猫拟人化，不如说是将人“拟猫化”，创作者总体上使用人的造型特征，仅仅将头脸、手脚等地方赋予猫的生理特证 (再加上爱吃鱼的天性)，小猫完全就是一个不懂世事的孩子，而猫妈妈的形象更让人印象深刻，朴实敦厚，围着围裙，着一双开口黑布鞋，完全就是五十年代典型质朴的农村大嫂形象。

《小猫钓鱼》可以说是以“规训儿童”为核心思想的动画电影的代表，其叙事模式一般是:首先表现主人公错误的做法，然后错误做法导致危机发生，这时主人公接受权威 (老师或长辈)的教诲，改正错误，最后用正确方法达到目的和要求。这类动画电影以可爱的动画形象、拟人化的手法、浅显的故事、直白的语言和鲜明的主题，从道德品质、人格修养、科学文化知识等各个方面向儿童提出明确要求、确立规范。



夸口的青蛙





骄傲的将军



【拍摄背景】《骄傲的将军》的编剧是著名漫画家华君武，导演是特伟和李克弱。 1955年春，以特伟为代表的一群艺术家们为了“探民族形式之路，敲喜剧风格之门”，在故事、人物造型、动画设计、背景乃至音乐上狠下功夫，并远赴北京、山东、河北等地搜集大量古代绘画，雕塑，建筑等资料，经过一年多时间的辛勤工作，到1956年才完成这部二十多分钟的动画片。

【剧情梗概】影片讲述古代有个将军得胜归来，在庆功会上受到文武百官的赞扬。他洋洋得意，随手举起几百斤重的铜鼎，抛向空中 ，又轻轻接在手里，面不改色。接着 ，他又扯满强弓，对准飞檐下的风铃，连发连中，观者个个喝彩。一个善于阿谀奉承的食客恭维说：“凭将军这身武艺，敌人还敢来送死吗？”从此，将军不再练武，整天花天酒地，吃喝玩乐，过着纸醉金迷的生活。早晨号兵吹号，将军用靴子打他。公鸡报晓，将军又把它塞进酒坛里。数月后，将军已大腹便便，一百多斤的石担，他也举不起来，拉弓射雁时，箭到半空就飘落下来，将军完全蜕化了 。但是在他过生日时，门人食客们还 给他送来 “天下第一英雄”的金匾。正当大家给他祝寿之际，敌兵进攻了 ，将军慌忙应战，可是他的枪已经锈坏，箭壶也成了老鼠窝。他手下的官兵也都跑光了。敌兵很快攻进城来，将军只好束手就擒。

【经典场景】该片在创作上借鉴了中国的传统戏曲尤其是京剧的许多因素。片中音乐大量运用京剧锣鼓，主要人物造型也采用了京剧脸谱：将军是大花脸，食客师爷则是二花脸。许多人物的语言和动作是动画设计师们依照演员的表演设计的。比如一开场将军得胜归来，文武百官在庆功宴上迎接他。只见将军昂首挺胸，踱着方步，伴着锣鼓的打击节拍，一步一顿地迈进来。那情形和京剧中霸王出场无二样。将军在众人的阿谀奉承下得意洋洋地抛铜鼎、射风铃，用力时发出的“哇啊……呀呀呀”听得食客师爷一句“凭将军这身武艺，敌人还敢来送死吗？”后的放声大笑；还有师爷那无时无处不在的奉承、献媚都以动画片特有的夸张形式再现了传统戏曲的韵味。《骄傲的将军》在场景安排上强调舞台感和空间感，颇有特色。将军府的亭台楼榭，百官祝寿、美女献舞的厅堂富丽堂皇、色彩浓重，宛然戏剧大幕乍启。而村野小童玩耍的茅草屋，将军与平民比试箭法的水面则清新自然，恰似微风拂面，芦絮片片、稻香阵阵。 另外，影片把“临阵磨枪”这个成语非常巧妙地诠释了一番。将军得胜后沉湎花天酒地，纸醉金迷。伴他征战的枪搁置在架上，被蜘蛛网围了个密密麻麻。眼看他日渐发福，武功日渐退化，举个一百多斤的石担也把他的脸色屏成酱爆猪肝。待敌军逼到家门口，才慌忙叫手下去取武器。此时的枪已锈蚀成废铁，再磨也无济于事。将军只好束手就擒，怎么也骄傲不起来了。

《骄傲的将军》是第一部描写古代人物的动画片，它开创了中国“民族风格”动画片的先河，它的故事情节不但非常富有民族意蕴，而且在当时摄制的年代（新中国成立之初）其寓言意义还具有强烈的现实意义。当然，影片也有“京剧动画化”的嫌疑，过多地依据了民族戏曲，有一定的局限性。总之，《骄傲的将军》在中国动画史上占有重要的地位。

MUSIC A.M. - Unwound From The Wood

MUSIC A.M. - Unwound From The Wood

“An alternative indie supergroup – Music A.M is a band comprised of Volker Bertelmann (aka Hauschka), Stefan Schneider (of To Rococo Rot and Mapstation) and quite surprisingly Luke Sutherland from 90s indie depression-peddlers Long Fin Killie. As I’m sure you can imagine, this is prime quality stuff from the outset – with the focus clearly on high quality electronic pop. Much like Lali Puna, Styrofoam and of course To Rococo Rot, Music A.M. have a gorgeously well defined sound, with Sutherland’s beautiful vocals adding a pastoral edge. It reminds me of the best bits of dreamy pop, shoegazer era but with knobs on, if you will. Lovely, friendly and warm – ‘Unwound From the Wood’ is a little gem of a record.”

    Urban views. “The things that we say change us. We change the things that we see. Things get mixed up. Shapes change… Our thoughts about what we have seen are not fixed: we play with them constantly.” In designing his room, Bus concentrated on doing what he says he always does: “Making people understand that we can’t understand anything. That means, in this space for example, that the process of drawing has a random beginning and a random end – in between is unknown territory. Once you let go of form and yourself then everything is free.”

    Kim Hiorthøy – Norway: The wit and intelligence of the work of young Norwegian designer, artist, musician, film-maker and photographer Kim Hiorthøy marks him out as being one of a very special kind. Regardless of what medium he chooses, he manages to pack narratives of great intricacy and depth into his very personal and reduced visual or written language. From the Nordic colour cosmos of his record sleeves to his poetic and often humorous drawings or photos, Hiorthøy erases the line between design and art with accomplished ease.

     

     

    309. Clubs – The Secret Palace

    ROOM INFO

    Feeling special. Container came up with a royal theme for their four rooms “to emphasise the feeling of being special that one gets when one stays in a hotel.” They also based their rooms on the four suites in a pack of cards. Room 309 is clubs: “FOXy deep red paints and fabrics mixed with a dark and sultry palette makes this a seductive and sophisticated room. It is designed to intoxicate and relax – like a nightclub with beautiful sexy princess women, party-divas, and men who look like clowns.”

     

    ARTIST INFO

    Container – United Kingdom: The illustrations of the London designers Nicola Carter and Luise Vormittag who call themselves “Container” are playful, romantic and atmospheric. Their collaged collaborations of photographs and ink drawing are very three-dimensional in that they “grow” across floors and walls like multi-dimensional fairy tales that have escaped from their books. Container have published in magazines such as Elle and The Face and their first interior designs were for the London department store Selfridges.

     

    406. Shortcut

    ROOM INFO

    Shape and size. Manuel designed Room 406: “This is about fascination with shapes and their infinite variety. I'm surrounded by giant vases. I'm 30 cm tall.

    411. Stadtspuren Kopenhagen

    ROOM INFO

    Urban culture. In Copenhagen Zasd has taken his impressions of the city literally and brought them into this room. “Normally I come and tag the place – I leave something. Now I’m taking the city’s tag, its imprint with me. I’m stealing a structure surface to implant into my own style.” Zasd hopes his room will inspire one or two guests to “move around the city, maybe visit the spots where I got my fill-ins and see it with their own eyes, hear it with their own ears, smell it. Just to open up their perception.”

    414. Complexity - reliability

    ROOM INFO

    Form and function. E-Types are also conscious of their pedagogic duties and hope that a stay in their rooms will make their guests think and reflect upon the different issues embedded in the design.
    “The old rule of thumb does still exist: Never trust statistics with unnamed sources. Strive to create your own understanding of the data, and question causalities. Design is, and will always be a content-driven business… We’re all in the business of making sense.”

     

    ARTIST INFO

    508. Authentic Mythical Creatures are Excellent Value for One’s Money

    ROOM INFO

    Talking about values. Hort see creating a hotel room as a responsibility: “Someone is going to live in this room for a while, they are going to breathe the atmosphere more intensely than someone just visiting like at an exhibition. The idea was to create modern mythical creatures that function like fables or tales that give a polemic viewpoint to everyday lives. Each illustration tells its own story to the viewer. It is the visitor that brings the different fragments together and builds his own story from them.”

     

    ARTIST INFO

    Hort – Germany: Eike König and Martin Lorenz Frankfurt design team Hort has evolved over the past few years into one of Germany’s most successful design agencies internationally.

    Happy is very proud to announce Ephemeral, the new album by Morioka, Japan’s Naoko Sasaki, otherwise known as Piana. Following 2003’s critically acclaimed Snow Bird (almost 3000 cds shipped worldwide) Ephemeral takes Piana’s sound into a new, more acoustic, terrain. Shedding some of the glitch aesthetics that made Snow Bird a genre-defying “micro-pop” release, Ephemeral shows Piana’s strength as a songwriter and arranger, and a master of her electronic and acoustic art. A recent interview conducted with Piana describes the thought processes behind Ephemeral:
