黃山
明代旅行家徐霞客有云:「登黃山,天下無山,觀止矣!」。
與黃山有緣,次次單飛!一個人的行攝,雖是孤寂,但創作是心與天地的對話,越是放空、不攀緣,越看得懂山。
黃山松的精神、怪石一絕、雲霧帶來的仙氣,構成一幅人間仙境。
鏡頭捕捉的瞬間,正是我心中的畫作「水墨黃山」。

Mount Huangshan
The great traveler of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Xiake, once said, “When you climb Huangshan, you see no other mountains in the world, and no greater view!”
I feel a strong bond with Huangshan and every time I have visited the mountain I have travelled alone. Although a person’s journey is lonely, my work creates a dialogue between the heart and the world. The more one lets go and refrain pursuing personal gains, the more you can understand the mountains.
The spirit of the pine on Mount Huangshan, the strange rocks, and the enchanted atmosphere brought about by the clouds and mist constitute a fairyland on earth.
The moment captured with my camera is a “Huangshan Ink Painting” inscribed on my heart.

丹頂鶴
又稱為「神鶴」。遷徙的丹頂鶴,因頭頂的紅肉冠而得名。一夫一妻制,有吉祥、忠貞、長壽的寓意。
求偶期間,此起彼落的鶴舞,讓賞鶴人的快門按個不停,心情也隨之起舞。
全世界目前發現有15種的鶴,丹頂鶴的數量最少,被聯合國列為瀕危的一級保護動物。
貼近鶴群,攝取一幅幅美麗的身影。不知是牠們從畫中走來,還是我走入了畫中?

Red-Crowned Crane
Also known as “fairy crane”. The migrating red-crowned cranes are named for a patch of red bare skin on their crown. They are monogamous and long-lived birds, known as the symbol of auspiciousness, fidelity and longevity.
During mating season, the cranes dance in pairs one after another. These scenes make the observers feel as if they are dancing as well. They can’t help pressing the shutter-release button on the camera to capture the sight.
There are currently 15 species of cranes in the world, of which the red-crowned crane is the rarest and classified as a first-class endangered species by the United Nations.
I got opportunities to get close to the cranes and capture their beautiful figures. I am still not sure if they had stepped out of a painting, or if I had walked into the painting.

北極
兩次前往都是三月,正值北極的夏天。平均溫度約攝氏零下25度至35度。
極光又稱為幸福之光。很感恩,兩趟不同路線的北極行攝,雖然低溫寒冷,在廣袤的夜空下,滿天星斗。我們擁有美麗的邂逅。
命名為「母愛」的母子熊,為我贏得2018年國家地理雜誌的獎項。

Arctic
Both trips took place in March, which coincides with the Arctic summer. The average temperature was about minus 25 to 35 degrees Celsius.
The aurora is known as the light of happiness. I feel grateful that I went on two trips to the North Pole travelling different routes. The temperature was low and although I felt the bitter cold under the vast night sky, the sky was full of stars. We had a beautiful encounter.
The photograph of a female bear and her cub, titled “A Mother’s Love”, won me the 2018 National Geographic award.

南極
被喻為世界的盡頭,最後的淨土。 邂逅一座座壯麗的冰山,清淨無瑕,似真似幻!
充滿生命力的企鵝、海豹、信天翁 …… ,這裡是野生動物們的天堂。
2013 年 3月,在阿根廷的烏茲懷亞登船,前往南極拍攝。遇見了我的第二位攝影指導老師,美國國家地理攝影大師 France Lanting,自此,我愛上生態攝影。愛上這些完全不受控制的模特兒,老師口中的英雄。

Antarctica
Antarctica is known as the end of the world, the last unknown frontier. There I encountered magnificent icebergs one after another. They are clean and flawless, seemingly unreal!
Penguins, seals, and albatrosses are full of vitality. This is a wildlife paradise.
In March 2013, I boarded a ship at Ushuaia, Argentina heading for Antarctica on photography tour. On this trip I met my second instructor of photography, Mr. France Lanting, the renowned National Geographic photographer. Since then I have fallen in love with wildlife photography and my out-of-control models – “the heroes” as my teacher called them.

肯亞
每年上演一年一度的動物大遷徙,肯亞馬賽馬拉國家公園,是攝影師的天堂。
Safari 獵遊。為了遊客的安全,被安排坐在改裝過的吉普車上拍攝。
成千上萬的火鶴群聚,只能用望遠鏡拍攝,若想靠近些,牠們便一起退得更遠。
第一次搭熱氣球升空拍攝。興奮之情,忘了懼高的恐懼 !必須把握好時間,按快門,以防機會稍縱即逝。氣球飛得越來越高,看不見動物了,只有壯闊的大片草原。
2015 / 2016 東非肯亞馬賽馬拉國家公園
Kenya
The annual animal migration takes place every year in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. It is a photographer’s paradise.
The photos were taken on a safari from a modified jeep. For their own safety all tourists are required to remain seated in the car during the tour.
Thousands of flamingo flocks together. This can only be photographed with a telescope lens. If anyone tries to move in close, they will all retreat.
It was my first time shooting from a hot air balloon. I got excited and forgot my fear of heights! I had to pay attention to the timing and operate the shutter in time. I would not risk missing a single opportunity. As the balloon flew higher and higher, we could no longer make out the animals below, only the magnificent grassland remained.

佛陀聖地
朝禮佛菩薩聖地,一步一腳印,一步一蓮花,是我的最愛。不為拍攝,而是祈求身心的加持,能更接近佛陀的慈悲與智慧。
放下身心,遠離塵囂,雲霧四周環繞,變化多端,任由想像。

Buddha’s Holy Sites
The tour to pay homage to the holy sites of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas took place in stages over a long period of time, and each stage was an enlightening experience. Of all my tours, I treasure it the most. It was not for the sake of photography, but a prayer for the blessings of body and mind, so as to be closer to the compassion and wisdom of Buddha.
There I let go of my body and mind, stayed away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded with changeable clouds and mist, and let my imagination roam free.

「美」!原本是無需語言的。正如佛家的「悟」!是言語道斷。禪宗的「不立文字」、「以心印心」。
如何透過鏡頭來看世界之大美?美國國家地理攝影大師麥可山下老師教我「把一個主題,拍出前所未見的新意。」這確實是一大挑戰!
時光飛逝,2023年即將邁入人生行攝的30年。該坐下來理一理,回首雪泥鴻爪的歷程中,是否留下過感動?
此書收錄的作品地點,迄今為止,主要是斯里蘭卡國家公園多次的巡遊。南極與北極、東非肯亞各去了兩趟。黃山四趟,丹頂鶴遷徙,含括亞洲三個國家,日本、韓國、中國,一共執行五趟的拍攝以及蒙古國的馬。豐富的行程,曾讓我的生活變得馬不停蹄。連睡覺作夢,居然還會夢見出門竟忘了帶望遠鏡頭。而從夢中驚醒!話說「平常心」容易,壓力卻難放下。因而攝影過程中,修行「觀照自我」也是很好的練習方式之一。
三十年行攝歷程,要感謝的人太多。首先是我的皈依恩師聖嚴法師,師父慈悲,讓我拿著相機充當攝影師,跟前跟後拍攝了16年的光陰。擔任攝影義工多年。日漸積累了福報,讓我日後全心邁向專業攝影創作時,總有意外的好運氣。而啟發我對攝影的熱情,是我的兩位攝影老師,Michael Yamashita、Frans Lating老師的攝影家精神,啟發觸動了我。也是在老師的肯定與鼓勵,讓我有了信心,訂定目標去努力不懈。
一路上,協助的貴人很多,心中默默感恩。每當,看到您們的辦公室或家裡,牆壁上掛著我的作品,書櫃裡珍藏著我的書本,或是擺放在書桌上的文創小品,都深受著感動!我想說,這裡面有我的感恩與祝福!
藉由生態攝影,尊重生命平等。影像也扮演重要的角色,讓更多人們重視生態環境保護,愛地球,彼此和諧共存。攝影藝術無國界,可超越文化、種族,廣結善緣。也正是我樂此不疲的初衷。
