就只想著一件事

奧運的官方意義是 "世界大同，讓運動變成 universal language"。其實早在把 "國家" 作為分隊基本單位的時候，事情已經變得很複雜。

自問沒在中國運動員得到獎牌時感到特別興奮，因為這不是運動精神。雖然我也很明白為何我們特把中國的重點項目highlight，也明白為何西方傳媒特別選中國選手醜陋的相片來刊登。

運動是找尋自己體內的小宇宙，也就是比宇宙還大的小宇宙。有做過運動的人都知道，在關鍵的時刻，你應該什麼也不要想，不去想起自己的痛，不去想自己的國籍，不去想自己有沒有父母，不去想世界任何事情，就只想著一件事，一件並不簡單，但很單純的事：我要做好這動作。

我會做好這動作。

這一種去除俗世所有雜念的能力，是意志的表現。

奧運要推廣的，不是運動，而是一種能伸延到人生所有事之上的東西：

意志。

American Apparel x Terry Richardson x Bu

Ar Bu always says that he wants to be Terry Richardson. So I bought this little gift to him from Japan weeks ago. And then, someone noticed me he wrote about it in his blog. I FEEL SO DISAPPOINTED! Keep on reading and you will know why...

Here is his post:

Terry Richardson
BU 2 八月, 2008
阿芝從日本回來，給了我這個作手信

一件Tee還有一部相機

是Boxset來的啊﹗
阿芝和余先生曾經是我鏡頭下的Model，所以她認定我不懂攝影
但她將手信交給我的時候竟然說︰「唔好浪費，唔係我殺左你﹗」
阿芝講得出做得到 + 佢一定唔會殺我 = 我一定唔會浪費
謝謝

bu@903 blog

Dear bu, the pictures you took in this post are so ____! Please seriously consider giving up your 'dream' to be Terry Richardson, otherwise please practice more, I mean REALLY more.

p.s. I forgot to pass you this little catalog of American Apparel. I guess you want this far much more than that camera boxset.




Yes, my scanning technique is as good as ar Bu's shooting technique.

請在這裡輸入你的電郵

近日faceboook account 爆了，千多人在 waiting list......這不是辦法。

請你把電郵地址輸入此箭咀所示位置，也把這消息發散開去，因為近日收到不少人的電郵，問我為何不在facebook add 他們(實情是爆了add 不到)，又問我為何停止寫blog (自從我棄用yahoo blog 之後，他們就找不到這個新blog)，就這樣吧。lovelovelovexxx

(Born To Be A Witness #2 Graffiti 仍在急尋被套，的起心肝給我相片吧。謝。)

很大鑊

(Born To Be A Witness #1 Tourist photos making-of)

都說我會坦白，將自己找學校的過程在這裡跟大家分享。

早前完成了一次 Toefl paper test，亂做一統，得到五百分(滿分為六百六，一般學校收生分數為五百五)，人就洋洋得意，終日在家看BBC Documentary。好了，結果原來香港已沒有 Toefl paper test，全轉了Interbnet-based Toefl，我又做一次，結果惨敗。

現在知錯，立即報讀 SAT 和 Toefl 課堂，人人也說 "那些課堂都是廢的！自己練習就可以！"，但無論如何，由於肴底的關係，我還是報讀了。現在只能說，那些學校的冷氣很凍，身邊的同學年紀很小。

我會努力的，反正人生如果不認真做事，人生就沒有意義。工作、玩樂、戀愛、思考、學習.....認認真真才有意思。希望你們也與我一起努力；努力過，成也風雲，敗也風雲。

另外，以下是三項注意：

1＊快點給我被套相片！一起參與 Born To Be A Witness :)

2＊緊記每星期在Milk Book B 有Born To Be A Witness 製作過程連載。下期開始還會加版呢，在此感謝 Milk 的支持，將以苦媽作文回報。對，我沒有寫錯，是苦媽；苦榮阿媽。

3＊下星期三有活動要出席，時間地點容後發知，到時見)

Born To Be A Witness 第二次召集

開會開會。繼續 Born To Be...

正當Born To Be A Witness #1 Tourist Photos 明天開始在Milk Magazine 連載制作過程的時候，Born To Be A Witness #2 要開始了！

Born To Be A Witness #2 Graffiti

現正徵求雙人被套一個，要舊的，越舊越好，不怕污糟，阿婆級那樣舊就更好。

注意：只要被套，不是整張被。被套將不會歸還 (因為我們會在上面加工)。

請將你的被套的相片傳到 cheuk@borntobeawitness.com

我們將有專人(所謂專人，主要都係我自己啦:P)聯絡你。要快了，因為我們將要較長的時間加工呢。

為什麼要被套呢？Born To Be A Witness # 2Graffiti 的創作理念是什麼呢？容後分曉。

希望你們能多多參與。謝。

the birth of Born To Be A Witness

在為這企劃工作兩個多月後，Born To Be A Witness 鐵定於下星期四的 Milk Magazine 見街。logo 終於鎖定。

關於此企劃最多人問到的問題第二位：

Born To Be A Witness 即是什麼？

這是一個由卓韻芝主理的藝術企劃，每月就一條問題交一份功課；我真是將事情解釋得很清楚。

最多人問到的問題第一位：

你做來是為什麼？會在那裡公開？是否想搞展覽還是什麼？

有許多原因支持我去做這件事，但說到尾，就只不過因為兩個字：我想。開始的時候，甚至沒想過要在那裡刊登或發表，卻一道氣開始了。我們一直努力保持這件事的純粹性，就是不去想之後怎樣，有機會發表，就發表，沒有的話，我們還是會繼續做。就 go with the flow。

然後，又真的有人願意刊登。下星期四出版的Milk Magazine，將會開始連載，內容都是我們執行的紀錄。
