〝在山之前〞攝影展——藝術意向說明

        存在於一運動中的載體，拍攝與紀錄充滿動感的風景，被攝物包括一些平常可遇見之物：如草／樹叢、山坡、檔土牆、水槽、梯階、籬柵、電線桿／機械平衡儀或其他物品。在拍攝過程中，發現了〝平衡焦點〞多元的處理技法，摘取新的，具融合性的風景圖像結構，把〝直接攝影〞的實踐，引導至一種形而上學的空間探索。

Existing in an expedited movement of the carrier, the photographer is aimed to record images with visionary intactness. The photographing scenes/objects usually include the followings: patches of grass/bushes, mountain-sides, retaining wall, man-made water tank/gutters, staircases, fencing structures, transmission base with machanical balancers or any other common objects encountered.
Through such direct photo-taking experience, the photographer has, initially, come across a new technique called "parallel-focusing" which can create different focalized positions within a single frame of the photographed image. A new, integrated structure of photographic space is directly realized and it is totally derived from its "parallel-focusing" techniques. The straight photographing process is thus practiced and no special, post manipulation of the image is applied. The direct-captured images are phenomenal and it could be perceived as a kind of "vision-in-motion" that could also be understood with its own meta-physical basis of enquiry.
