:❤️ 在koyamame焙煎所感受了一段好棒的時光後,我們繼續上路,前往機場等待聖傑從東京飛來與我們會合。 在接機的地方,從人多等到人都走光了,才知道他的行李箱因為疑似摔裂被放到別處。等了一陣子,總算順利接到人! 在新千歲機場的好天氣下,我們前往富良野的鹿家,是接下來兩晚的民宿。一路向北,雪越來越大。晚上在超市買了食材回去煮豆乳火鍋。晚餐後,拿出ドン・キホーテ買的雪球夾,在冷得要命的晚上,打開陽台一點點的門,做出鴨子和熊的雪球,但熊很難做得完整! 一行人不管在哪總是開心,就像我們要離開鹿家時,我要文豪與聖傑兩人跟車子拍張照片,成了這趟旅程好棒好棒的回憶。 我真的好愛寫流水帳。
Ansel Adams Photographer, Artist & Activist
*Happy Birthday to Ansel’s ‘Monolith’!* 🏞️ “Born” on this day, April 10, 1927. Andrea Stillman’s biography “Looking at Ansel Adams” includes a wonderful chapter all about this storied photograph: “In 1992 I was in Ansel’s workroom selecting images for a prospective book of his photographs when Virginia appeared and announced that she had found a stash of home movies from the late 1920s and 1930S. With anticipation we rented a movie projector to screen them. Miraculously, one reel included footage of the trek to the Diving Board. It showed Ansel in his favorite plus fours, lugging his forty-pound pack, with a rakish fedora hat and the Keds high-top basketball shoes he favored for hiking. “The climbers struggled up…in deep snow, and when they reached the Diving Board they pulled each other up with a ludicrously thin rope. Virginia fearlessly inched out onto the sharply angled granite spur, and when she reached the tip she stood up and blithely waved. It seems appropriate that Ansel presented the very first print of ‘Monolith’ to Virginia. “Ansel was twenty-five years old when he made ‘Monolith.’ At age eighty he was able to recall the experience of making the negative, every detail as clear as it more than a half century had not elapsed. He photographed Half Dome hundreds of times, and there are many different interpretations that include moons, clouds, snow, flowers, leaves, trees, even deer and people. In 1978, during one of his last annual Yosemite workshops, he and his photographic assistant, John Sexton, contemplated Half Dome together and talked about the taking of ‘Monolith’ in 1927. According to John, Ansel laughingly confided, ‘Maybe I should just have stopped then.’” Text, film footage and Ansel Adams images are copyright ©️The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust.
