love-hate situation

這次我是站在中國那邊。

好說這也是一場運動盛事啊,跟政治還有人權迫害都沒有關係。有人說這或多或少地反映西方社會對於中國崛起的種種不滿,拜託,你要在人家國家設工廠,利用人家便宜的員工,降低成本,大賺一筆,然後人家崛起拿俏了,開始不聽你的話,反過來要開始主導自己國內的經濟,你就見笑轉生氣,藉由抵制奧運來出一些鳥氣,這種行為有比中國政府的蠻橫要好嗎?說穿了只是揚著自由民主的旗幟實行另一種霸權主義。人家中國現在要找國際PR來修復形象,到時候輿論可不一定永遠支持這些所謂的「人道主義」。

以上勘誤謝謝台北讀者M小姐指正。

Fratellis, again.



黑白攝影沒那麼簡單,不是photoshop把顏色調掉,或是拍的時候設定為黑白模式就行。而是要有一種對灰階的強烈sense,一不小心很容易變成供人憑弔的西郎姑桃。用黑白來表現party這主題實在是太聰明,多華麗的繽紛色彩都不及詩意的灰階構築的內斂質感,每一個律動每一塊布料每一吋肌膚都有細膩的texture,而且好young好chic好British,Fabien Baron真的是太有才華,只是整個ad好像有蘋果咬一口的廣告feel耶,是吧,Chris?

Eyes wide shut

Saam Farahmand

He then went to MTV, where he produced hundreds of crass idents and the daily show 'Gonzo'. He left television for the world of live stage visuals, working with bands such as The Rapture, Clor and Zongamin. Saam has since made videos for several bands including Clor and Klaxons, and has created a live A/V show for onedotzero.
