Sky #1

问天，好像我有许多不解之迷是的，或许是吧！天虽大，可也有尽头，星星虽小，可它遥远得大不可测。 我们的眼睛虽明亮也有看不见的时候。

I found out, through Mike, that Alfred Stieglitz shots a series of clouds, Equivalent. Read through his biography and his clouds, inspired. There were so much technical issues during those film days. It seems that digital could achieve better results.

I had a discussion with Pauline about sky. She said the sky inspired her when she was young and she could imagine many things while observing the sky. Here is my attempt to capture the sky. I realise that the clouds are abstract and they move.

I watch the sky when I was young too, however, I was searching for that saturated blue that would make my subject stand out. The colour was what I was after. The sky itself was never my subject. After learning from Pauline, I decided to make the sky the subject of this series.

I watch the sky when I am searching for some un-answered question. I meditate on them. I could call the series '问天‘ too。

Attending Fudan

复旦复旦我来了！高兴。来人文与智慧班是为了好玩，好学，思想是一场智慧的博弈，知道得越多认识得越少，感悟得多，迷茫得更过瘾。上课不时都是在恐惧与惊叹中度过，偶尔半醉中度过，少数与周公度过，不是不累而是小时养成上课不允许睡觉的纪律，儿时藤鞭吃多了。
对无神论者哲学的衰败，陷人的生命于无价值，文明的即将歼灭，使人颓废，恐惧，感叹现今人的生活欲望谨谨是生存与今天。惊叹的认识到哲学的使命， 一场虚惊，人还能救。哲学无价的价值，男人味的素材，泡妞的绝学。哲学能重及能轻，人生及能谨慎也可拂笑值之。妙哉！
对老子与庄子羡慕已久，却被两场笼罩成都与上海的浓雾使我错过了去年底的良机。听中国讲师说老子真是今生的一大愿望，读老外阐述道德经甚多，总是不到味，语言局限了思想与概念。终于在六月补了老子一课，庄子遥遥无期，恨。学老子，学无有，谨背了第一张就有大成如能‘得其神，忘其形’且得，名可名，非常名。纳闷何以老子之学只能在危机时代暂且让无名狂欢，兴盛时代毫无作为，反是儒学更新被推崇为解救中国文化更有可能性？毛骨悚然，无名的狂欢后是恐怖，你我何曾不曾无名的狂欢过，难到那生命的自由就是那么可怕，或是对无的无法琢磨的无助，不常漂浮在无限的虚无，那是你我对有的熟悉性，无的认知与体验不足。真佩服那僧人能凭衣钵走天下，对明天毫无忧虑。无有的解构构成，不是创造的思想奠基吗？已发展城市不是最需要创新阶级吗？
老子，冷酷的认识到生命的微小和毫无意义。权势确定对与错，意义在于人的创造，人的经验经历，尼采的存在主义奠定了生命的使命。背包走天下是人生的一大乐趣与意义。
