下面這些名言,是名攝影藝術家 Clarence John Laughlin 1905-1985 對攝影與藝術的詮釋。請問有哪一位同學,有興趣把他翻譯出來?
"I am not concerned, then, with photography in a narrow sense — its fascination for me is related to my interests in modern painting, in social questions, and in the nature of light and of time. The mystery of light, the enigma of time - form the twin pivots around which all my work resolves."

"I despise "arty" technique but I dislike equally the use of the camera as a mere recording instrument. I am trying, instead, to create purely visual poetry, and to use objects as symbols of states of mind."

"I feel convinced that whole new worlds lie about us, sheathed in what we call the "commonplaceness" of reality."

"I learned that the camera is a machine only when used mechanically, that it could be made to respond to the special vision of a particular imagination."

"In the most "commonplace" objects marvelous new realities lie hidden, ordinarily unperceived relationships of forms, new combinations or psychological connotations, new aggregates of symbolic meaning."

"It infuriates me to see people with the power and position … try to stem the development of symbolic or hyper—real photography, and to force conformity on all photographers."

"My gradually evolved conviction that the camera could be used as an instrument to explore the mind of man, the inner world where man lives both by symbols and emotions, and that in achieving this, the camera would have been used in such a way that it became a direct extension of the luminous and super—sentient eye of the imagination - a third eye!"

"There have been only two chief and consistent concerns in my work: 1) luminosity — the magic of light itself; 2) the use of the object as a symbol, and hence, of the camera as a living instrument to probe the intangible psychological jungle in which every object is enmeshed."

"I feel convinced that whole new worlds lie about us, sheathed in what we call the "commonplaceness" of reality."
我深信有一個全新的世界,隱藏在我們認為是普通或一般不足為奇的現實場景當中。

"In the most "commonplace" objects marvelous new realities lie hidden, ordinarily unperceived relationships of forms, new combinations or psychological connotations, new aggregates of symbolic meaning."
那些令人讚嘆的新的世界,大多隱藏在普通人認為"一般、平凡、普通"的事物表象之下,不被察覺。這些新世界就隱藏在形態之間的連結,事物全新組合或抽象的衍生義,或符號性意義的群集之間。

Clarence John Laughlin 的這兩句話,其實和 Diane Arbus 1923-1971的 "A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know. 以及 Minor White 1908-1976的" It is not what it is about, it is what else it is about"這兩句話有異曲同工之妙!

洞察力!啊!洞察力!
如何在一般尋常景象中,看見別人看不見的!才是做為一個攝影藝術家或說專業攝影師的致命關鍵啊!

"I learned that the camera is a machine only when used mechanically, that it could be made to respond to the special vision of a particular imagination."
經驗告訴我,只有我們用「操作」的心使用相機的時候,照相機才會變成一個機器。只要我們用想像力和心去用它,照相機就會對我們的想像力和特殊視覺有所反應。

"My gradually evolved conviction that the camera could be used as an instrument to explore the mind of man, the inner world where man lives both by symbols and emotions, and that in achieving this, the camera would have been used in such a way that it became a direct extension of the luminous and super—sentient eye of the imagination - a third eye!"我的成長經歷讓我確信,照相機可以成為探索人們內心世界所需的工具。這個內心世界是人們用象徵與感情生活的世界。唯有我們把照相機當作我們卓越的心智和想像力之眼(第三隻眼)的延伸,照相機才可能被我們用來探索內心世界。

"I despise "arty" technique but I dislike equally the use of the camera as a mere recording instrument. I am trying, instead, to create purely visual poetry, and to use objects as symbols of states of mind." 我既鄙視"藝術技巧"也不喜歡把照相機僅僅當作紀錄的工具。相反的,我一直在嘗試創造出單純的視覺詩,也將被攝對象當作可以呈現心智的象徵物。

我的作品一直都在關心兩件事情:一、光明亮度:就是光線自身的魔法。二、將被攝體當作象徵物使用。也因此,對我而言,照相機就自然成了一個探針式的活物,可以幫我探索那個所有被攝體都被糾纏在一起的不可捉摸的心理叢林。

我對攝影的狹義認知並無興趣。對我而言,攝影的迷人之處是與我對現代繪畫,社會性問題以及光線與時間的本質的興趣有關。「光的神秘」和「時間之謎」就形成環繞著我所有作品的兩個樞軸。

攝影的藝術與攝影的紀錄.基本上是二種區別.
也許每個 人的學習環境不同.經歷也不同.
因此對攝影需求.目的.要走的路也會不同.
也就沒有所謂的對與不對.好與不好?

不要混淆了,也許沒有對不對的作品,但是評價好壞一定有。├撇開偏見與實用的話,那審美幾乎都是當下立判的。
