飄浪原慾 drifter passion: 印度國鐵-緊急狀態

http://atinechang.blogspot.com/2008/09/blog-post_6086.html

一天，途經New Delhi火車站，突然一個念頭- - 何不到Varanasi過今年的生日？行動派的我馬上來到位於二樓的外國人專用預約辦公室，室內整個瀰漫著政府機關特有的陰森氣氛，我在這戰戰兢兢的預約了當天晚上8:40從New Delhi出發的火車，心想明早的我就可以在Varanasi的恆河上大叫了。 火車出發前2小時，於住處check out後，叫了台人力車至火車站。車站大廳內人潮洶湧，挨挨擠擠，熱鬧的就像一座市場。車道、走廊、階梯、通道—到處都是人。由於時間尚早，所以大廳內的timetable尚未標示出火車的確切月台位置？ 此時，天色漸漸的暗沈下來，一輛又一輛的早已擠滿乘客的車廂，一班接著一班的駛離。就連方才幫我打發掉乞丐的老先生也上車了，而我還是癡癡地等…，並且一直想著Delate，而其間我也再跟幾位月台上穿著制服的工作人員確認過，是Delate沒錯！ 於是我又再安心的的在第12月台上等下去。此時，身邊不知何時坐著印度一家子- - 爸爸、哥哥、弟弟，他們好像討論很久似的，哥哥終於開口問我是哪裡人？ 12300;台灣」我說。 穿過火車站前的車水馬龍，來到一處門口明確的寫著 i&#652...

飄浪原慾 drifter passion: 學習印度語--尋找學校

http://atinechang.blogspot.com/2008/09/blog-post_7527.html

待在瓦那拉西挺累人的，天氣悶熱得讓人透不過氣來，再加上連續幾天的感冒，我整個人奄奄一息。巷弄之間，一排排狹窄湫隘得樓房節比鱗次地矗立在街邊。街道上隨時充斥著不知道是人還是動物的屎尿味。 在這城市磨贈了幾天，有天早晨我突如其來的下了個決定。去尋找工具書上那個教授印度文的學校。早晨下了這個決定，下午準備出發。我站在住處門檻邊，心裡猶豫著要不要融入眼前這條曝曬在毒日之下的河壇步道。沿著恆河邊，一路步行到熟悉的市場內。 由於，碰巧遇上今天是瓦那拉西重要節慶之一—排燈節。一整個早晨，成群游船載著一家家男女老少，穿梭再門前得河面上。市場內不用說也是人山人海，我走進那條人潮洶湧、熱烘烘得市場大街內，隨即被人潮推著前行。最後，我決定彎進一條窄小得陌生巷弄。巷弄中，可見印度軍人在每一巷弄中，皆設置著巡邏哨。彎過一個又一個的陌生轉角，此時，已分不清楚自己的所在位置為何。 很好，我放棄了！我決定放棄找這個教授印度文的地方了。 最終，我依舊憑著自己的方向感，順利的回到大街、回到我所熟悉的河壇步道。慢慢的，我決定逐漸地擴大自己的探險範圍。 標籤： 2006 印度. I really love your blog!

Michael Frye Photography Blog: Fall Color Lazarus

http://michaelfryephotography.blogspot.com/2009/10/fall-color-lazarus.html

Sunday, October 18, 2009. After the last storm, many people reported finding little fall color on the east side of the Sierras. Aspens that had already turned yellow were stripped bare by the wind, and the remainder were still green. I was worried that there wouldn’t be anything to photograph during my fall color workshop on Monday. A minor weather system is expected Monday, and temperatures will drop early next week, so that could change the outlook. But fall-color gloom has turned to hope in just a...

Michael Frye Photography Blog: Moon and Half Dome Encore

http://michaelfryephotography.blogspot.com/2009/11/moon-and-half-dome-encore.html

Monday, November 30, 2009. Moon and Half Dome Encore. Saturday evening I joined dozens of photographers in the Ahwahnee Meadow to see the celestial encore of Ansel Adams’ famous Moon and Half Dome. Of Texas State University had predicted that the moon would be in almost the same spot as when Ansel made his photograph in 1960. In the meadow Saturday were two of Ansel Adams’ former assistants, Alan Ross. There was just one small problem: no moon! Also, he apparently didn’t wrap the roll of film tight...

Michael Frye Photography Blog: New Article in Digital Photo Magazine

http://michaelfryephotography.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-article-in-digital-photo-magazine.html

Monday, December 14, 2009. New Article in Digital Photo Magazine. Back in the dark ages of film, I carried several graduated neutral-density filters. They were both hard to pronounce and hard to use. First I had to decide which one to pull out—one, two, or three stops? Hard edge or soft? My latest article in the December issue of Digital Photo. Magazine (formerly PC Photo), titled Digital Graduated Filters. With some, but not all, of the same material. Posted by Michael Frye. December 14, 2009 at 3:53 PM.

Michael Frye Photography Blog: My Favorite Time of Year

http://michaelfryephotography.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-favorite-time-of-year.html

Saturday, November 7, 2009. My Favorite Time of Year. Of course every month offers beauty, and there’s always something interesting to photograph in Yosemite. But if I have to choose, this is it. What’s your favorite time of year in Yosemite - or, if you don’t get to Yosemite often, wherever you live? Posted by Michael Frye. November 7, 2009 at 12:35 PM. I love the feel of winter after a snow storm, the crisp air and the snow fallen off the trees once the sun lights them up. November 7, 2009 at 1:16 PM.

Michael Frye Photography Blog: My New Book Available in January

http://michaelfryephotography.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-new-book-available-in-january.html

Thursday, December 17, 2009. My New Book Available in January. My new book, Digital Landscape Photography: In the Footsteps of Ansel Adams and the Great Masters. I am sure the next step will be the electronic image, and I hope I shall live to see it. I trust that the creative eye will continue to function, whatever technological innovations may develop. The answer is yes. When Ansel Adams developed the Zone System with Fred Archer in 1940, he gave photographers a tool great for controlling their imag...
