謹按： 玩攝影將近三年，坊間有關攝影作品和技巧的書籍幾乎翻遍，已覺得厭煩，大陸翻譯的外籍攝影名家的作品集也購買了十餘本，也漸感到並無新意。如今，興趣轉移至photography的歷史與名家，覺得略有深度，爰將若干心得筆記摘錄於此。這就好像走在捷運復興站的地下街藝文長廊，看到不知名畫家的油畫作品，看多了，千篇一律，不如去閱讀羅浮宮收藏品全集中有關油畫的歷史，並瞭解莫內、畢卡索、梵谷、雷諾瓦、塞尚、竇加........等畫家的作品和生平有趣多了。
(上圖：Ansel Easton Adams) Ansel Easton Adams(February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist, best known for his black-and-white photographs of the American West, especially in Yosemite National Park. One of his most famous photographs was Moon and Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, California. A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety. ~Ansel Adams A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into. ~Ansel Adams There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. ~Ansel Adams You don't take a photograph, you make it. ~Ansel Adams
(上圖：Moon and Half Dome) 謹註： 未來若有機會，想在Yosemite National Park野營一整年，好好地拍攝優勝美地的春、夏、秋、冬。暑期，妹妹帶著小姪兒至洛杉磯，住在弟弟公司宿舍，順遊加州風景名勝，包括Yosemite National Park。看到小姪子拍攝的照片，想起數十年前赴美短期進修曾抽空遊訪優勝美地，人間伊甸園的印象深植記憶中。
(上圖：Alfred Stieglitz) Alfred Stieglitz (January 1, 1864 – July 13, 1946) was an American photographer and modern art promoter who was instrumental over his fifty-year career in making photography an accepted art form. In addition to his photography, Stieglitz is known for the New York art galleries that he ran in the early part of the 20th century, where he introduced many avant-garde﹝藝術上的前衛派﹞ European artists to the U.S. He was married to painter Georgia O'Keeffe. 最終導致攝影被承認為一種藝術樣式的運動始於1902年，Alfred Stieglitz與Edward J. Steichen等人創立的“攝影脫離運動”【Photo-Secession Movement(1902-1917)】。 「脫離」一詞在藝術史上最早是由德國和奧地利一些針對打破學院派傳統美學觀念的藝術團體所使用，而「攝影脫離運動」是20世紀初對學院派「畫意派攝影(Pictorialism)」的反動，不但是在攝影史上將「畫意派攝影」的主流位置轉承為「純粹攝影(Straight Photography)」的重要樞紐，也是攝影藝術跨入現代主義的濫觴。 有一群著名的攝影師對Stieglitz提出的脫離主義途徑深信不疑，他們在1932年創立了“f/64小組”。An American circle of photographers later renounced pictorialism altogether and went on to found Group f/64 , which espoused the ideal of unmanipulated, or Straight Photography.
(上圖：William Henry Jackson) William Henry Jackson (April 4, 1843 - June 30, 1942) was an American painter, photographer and explorer famous for his images of the American West. He was a great-great nephew of Samuel Wilson, the progenitor of America's national symbol Uncle Sam. 傑克森於19世紀80年代在科羅拉多州拍攝The Garden of Gods。
(上圖：Edward J. Steichen) Edward J. Steichen (March 27, 1879 – March 25, 1973) was an American photographer, painter, and art gallery and museum curator. He was the most frequently featured photographer in Alfred Stieglitz' groundbreaking magazine Camera Work during its run from 1903 to 1917. 觀賞山水風光時，我們想看的，其實是一種理想狀態，而不是現實場景。我們苦苦追尋的，是我們與大自然之間存在的某種原始的根本聯系，一種在我們的日常生活中早就不見踪影的與自然的聯系。我們所追求的是恬靜安心，還有沉思的空間。當然，我們還在追求著美。-- David Ward
(上圖：英國攝影家David Ward) David Ward is one of Britain's most notable landscape photographers. His eye for shape and form is without equal and produces work that is startling in its clarity and intensity.
(上圖：Henri Cartier-Bresson/ 及 One of his most famous photographs) Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 – August 3, 2004) was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism. He was an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the "street photography" or "real life reportage﹝F.報導文學﹞" style that has influenced generations of photographers who followed. In 1952, Cartier-Bresson published his book Images a la sauvette, whose English edition was titled The Decisive Moment. 攝影，意味著在若干分之一秒的時間裏，同時認識出現象的本質，又能快速地把有含意的形式，嚴密地組合起來。這是一種使自己的頭腦、眼睛、心靈，同時集中在同一個軸心上的活動。--- 布列松 重要的是觀察；攝影，是在很短的時間裏，敏捷地表現出最重要的部分。--- 布列松 "The simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression... . In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotif."---Henri Cartier-Bresson "Photography is simultaneously and instantaneously the recognition of a fact and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that express and signify that fact"---Henri Cartier-Bresson "Photography is not like painting," Cartier-Bresson told the Washington Post in 1957. "There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative," he said. "Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever."---Henri Cartier-Bresson "Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst."--- Henri Cartier-Bresson 布列松被譽為20世紀最重要的攝影家之一，他提出「the decisive moment」的概念，認為攝影就是在幾分之一秒的瞬間，將事物的內涵和表現同時呈現，並且融入生活中。 謹註： Henri Cartier-Bresson所言極是，本部落格首頁推薦連結中Yoyo前幾年所拍攝的snapshot ，真是糟糕的不忍卒睹，它們不是 photograph。但，Yoyo並不覺得難為情，那只是一個學習過程，而且，早期的攝影，是以“記錄”為目的的成分居多，“好”的照片也有，但那多半是來自意外或機會。 |
