After more than 48 months of hard working and random traveling, today is my last day of work in this tiny little office in Ontario, California.

It's alright, I am going to a new place with another 89 people near Compton and I will be a brand new person so to speak, haha~

maybe, I'll look back someday and laugh~ This was the best place I ever worked at and with..........

1992 Artificial Intelligence Autechre兩人曾說過 : 『當人們拼死相互模仿與拷貝之時，總是會有原創的。真正有想法的音樂冒出頭，並將在未來佔據人心。』

我想影像也跟音樂/ 藝術是一樣的；以創作來說, 創作者在還沒找到自已的風格或方向時，本來就像是大海撈針、經過大膽的嘗試並小心的執行，所得到的結果和過程中的經驗加上知識就顯得更重要, 如果你對梵谷有些許的研究，你就能發現從Vincent的早期作品，如素描和們畫像, 到模仿日本繪本的梅樹、Starry Night和其他的著名的大作，他的變化和轉折非常的大。

對我個人來說梵谷的作品變化真的非常驚人，畫風也由寫實趨近於梵谷自成一格的迷人風格和特殊的筆觸，LOMO形式的攝影也是一樣的, 顏色、構圖、主題、意像和整體的感覺可以變成千千萬萬不同的風格和味道; 也許清晰銳利和景深不是我們所追求的方式，所以在這兒就不談了。

模仿不是壞事, 跟風也是發現自已和開拓自我的方法，雖然我不贊成所謂的"天下文章一大抄"但是每一個藝術創作都會經過這一階段的試煉，甚至喜劇/名嘴也是如此，大書法家也要臨募，何況是我們泛泛眾生？

這篇似乎是多餘了，但就原創來說卻不儘然, 為什麼我把原創和模仿放在一起討論的原因，其實只是一個很基本的原素→〝融會貫通"。

在一種技法、方式開始流行的時後大夥必定趨之若鶩而爭相仿效，如時尚、用字遣詞、攝影上的各式底片的運用和手法都是一樣的，但是為什麼卻總是只有少數的人能玩的上手，用的得心應手？ 而大部份的人卻沒有辦法？  除了上面所提到的尋找開拓自我的情形拿不拿手下，另一個問題就是〝不求甚解〝，只知其一而不願意再多跨一步把知識或Tips學透了，"沒有用心到底當然不會進步嘛"。   一張照片主題不突顯、雜亂無章的構圖加上快門及光圈的調整的不正確，原理都不懂你還跟人家正沖負和增減感個什麼勁啊？    正如父執輩和電視上連續劇裡常說的，『還沒會走就想飛啦？』   我 想這是為什麼玩LOMO的人們總是來來去去，少有人能夠留下來好好的玩下去，更有許多人因為LOMO而一頭栽進攝影裡而進而轉向其他不同的攝影領域，據我 所知, 有的人因為認識LOMO而愛上攝影，進而迷上了M42相機(*註1)而慢慢把LOMO給淡忘了，也有人玩LC-A而進一步認識了RF相機(*註2)，而現 在他也是RF相機的玩家兼高手，如果你己經認識我的話, 相信不難猜到上面說的幾位是誰，喜歡LOMO的人如我, 也和LOMOTW上的朋友們一樣，都希望能夠創新不斷能夠發現新的視角和別人看不到的一面; 這是自我的成就，也是上網時和大家分享能得到的一句讚美轉化成的動力，而往往自覺不甚理想的照片，放上去來和大夥分享的時後能聽到不同的聲音, 更能拓展自己的想法進而在未來的拍攝過程中改進、加減或實行。

我個人最討厭的事就是不被共事的夥伴尊重, 如果是純粹告知就算了, 講了、問了、表決了，然後再推翻所有, 用自已的意見, 那還這麼麻煩幹嘛?

Yeah, I guess everyone has one's own expectation and future goal in mind. Someone is into money, someone's willing to make a good career, some would be family oriented and some would be enjoying one's life.   Then we end up taking compromise and struggling between career (or simply just a job that pays your rent...) and family in the rest of your life after school graduation.    People are all the same at some point cuz we all have needs and greedy desire.    People are all different when it's based on the theory of individual.    But what is true and which side we should take to be the "real" you?

Is that really true we will pass on our tradition and get on our own journey being able to look back in the next 35 years?    Maybe someone will not even live that long.    But why we're still hanging here and doing something we don't wanna do in our daily life?

Life was pathetic, I should say.

We people make all kinds excuses to convince people even ourselves to do or not to do things.    We would do it if we like it or it'd just be the opposite.    Selfish would be the best depiction of people at the present time.    We used to think humble and sacrifice were the standard being as a human being.    We don't see that much now adays.    Is that my own problem or you guys all saw it coming and still in the stage of denial?    Or something you can say it out loud cuz this is our own society as well? Rotten and smelly.....

Anyway, some thoughts from my tiny brain during the weekdays and wanna share with you guys.....
