1.7

此刻的我非常清醒。
每一次對焦,都是我不假思索的步伐;
每一下快門,都是我沒有意識的眨眼。
讓樹木告訴我該怎麼欣賞它。
有時候眼睛鬆了,步履歪了,焦點會不清楚。如此很好。

I am very sober at this moment.
Every focus I adjust is my impulsive step,
Every shutter I press is an unconscious blink of my eye.
Let the tree teach me how to appreciate it.
My eyes can be at times distracted, my steps sometimes wobbly and things go out of focus. That’s the way I like it.


他有種說故事的本領,用影像帶你跟隨他的步調,以緩慢的節奏觀看生活中的不經意。鄧浩倫,香港攝影師,先後發表過攝影集《Maybe a sentence or something》(2013)、《Stairs》(2014)、《聽靜》(2016)。喜在不尋常的視角看待尋常景物,相比起充滿城市緊張感、呈現香港繁喧印象的攝影,他的作品是個異數。題材單一平淡,風格安靜內斂,但他認為「真正單調的,是我們看待生命的態度」。

He is a talented narrator; in an unhurried pace, you are led by visual images to watch the trivial matters of life.  Published photobooks by the Hong Kong photography Ho Lun Tang include Maybe a sentence or something in 2013, Stairs in 2014 and Listen quietly in 2016. While most of the photography works tend to depict Hong Kong as a bustling and tense city, Tang is definitely a peculiar photographer who gazes at the usual objects from an unusual angle. He uses a modest attitude to document monotonous subjects in his photography, for he believes ‘what is truly monotonous is our approach to life.’
