起點 - 【斗笠‧洋巾‧花布衫】創作自述
「因為記性不好又害怕遺忘了什麼,我一直有著記錄的習慣,透過日記、手札,我記錄著生活中發生的事件與自己的心情。大學之後開始接觸到攝影,我多了一種「看」的方式,得以迅速地從自己的角度出發,並以「相」的形式來記錄生活中的「曾經發生」。至此,「看」與「記錄」,便成了生活中不可缺席的部分,而這個部分亦連帶的反應出自身的創作形貌。
創作對我來說,是一種記錄,一種留下記憶的方式。」
i will work for vitamin C
About 10 years ago, I remember going to work with a raging cold. It was the latest in a series of weird little illnesses I'd picked up over the two previous years.
'I have no idea what's wrong with me,' I remember lamenting to my boss, Mike. 'I'm generally healthy as a horse.'
'Oh please, Karen,' said Mike. 'You haven't noticed how you always get ill when you're stressed? I can almost predict the day you're going to come down with something, just by looking at your workload.'
I remember being incredibly shocked by this, and vehemently denying it ... until I realized he was right. And you'd think by now I'd learn to stock up on vitamins during stressful times, but that would require logic and planning on my part, wouldn't it ...
... anyway, as I type this, I'm lying in bed, full of one of Marcus' fabulous seafood stews, and about to take a good swig of Nyquil. And yes, while my current state is indicative of what I've been facing at work, the truth is that today I took the first of many steps toward alleviating my stress. And it was a big first step, too. So even though I feel like hammered dog shit, the good thing is that I feel like very happy, very content hammered dog shit.
You know, in a manner of speaking.

張惠菁《給冥王星》
「冥王星的命名很有意思。一名喜歡希羅神話的十一歲英國女孩,有一天對在牛津圖書館工作的祖父說:新發現的天體陰陰冷冷的,好像陰曹地府哦,應該以冥王Pluto命名。祖父把這個不經心的建議帶到天文協會,竟然被採納作為新行星的名稱。有時,別人丟給你一個稱呼,一個定義,你卻以為自己從此就不一樣,匆匆尋找新的運轉軌道。」

我說它閃亮 ,它就會發光
刻卜勒牛頓的內心中,一定存在非常強烈的渴望
對於這世界所浮現的道理不管多微小都想要了解
這才能使他們熬過許多寂寞的歲月
致力解開天體力學的秘密
-- 愛因斯坦
唔生人點會知人生
同事G身懷六甲,仍然一副戰鬥格,氣定神閒指揮若定,我這個初哥說真的佩服得五體投地,和她在MSN閒聊幾句,請她小心身子,好好照顧肚裡的BB,良久,msn的視窗彈來這一段:
「我不嬲都停唔到落黎,有左BB後早睡早起,身體反而好左,你話我要照顧BB,其實我覺得係我BB照顧緊我。
「天文台長林超英講過,唔生人點會知人生?我覺得佢講得好o岩。」
"live from you heart, you will be most effective."
"sometimes I need to hear things like that.
carry on."

│投資一個好女人│
「其實投資女人是最划算的,尤其是投資一個好人,有這樣經歷的男人一定會同意我的看法。女人是奇妙的生物,當你真心打動她之後,她就會不斷地為你付出,直到終老一生。想一想,你只是花一點時間陪她去吃飯、看場電影,送一些可愛的小禮物,說些能打動她的話,告訴她你將會帶給她如何一個美好的人生,幫她打蟑螂,偶爾搬搬粗重的東西…這零零總總加起來,了不起是兩年、三年的時間(比較高竿的一年以內)。換來的是什麼呢?」
Unphotographable
from photographer Michael David Murphy.
"Unphotographable is a catalog of exceptional mistakes. Photos never taken that weren't meant to be forgotten. Opportunities missed. Simple failures. Occasions when I wished I'd taken the picture, or not forgotten the camera, or had been brave enough to click the shutter."

書寫的長假 ,一個與自己對話的晚餐。
「女人終究都是還是有一些,私密的情緒存放在一個莫名的角落。只要想到時,進去那扇門,跟自己對話和經歷過一番,就能恢復甜美而堅強的笑容吧。」
夠不夠
「她想告訴他,如果你想跟一個女人長相廝守,你應該找一個令你不感寂寞的人。她想告訴他,我們總不能憑著看不見對方時的感覺去選擇,因為到最後,兩個人會看見對方的時候比看不見的多。」
