"Watch" short story

Core reading

The behavior of taking photos is like writing. A photo can be a short story, and the theme photography of the series is like a novel. It reflects a wider theme, reaching through countless characters and scenes.

I never believe that the greenhouse photographer who is waiting for rabbits, because it is just a manipulating machine, photography is the art of escaping, and it is the way to escape in the escape, just like the road may contain the rebellion of the road. Here Any clear direction becomes blurred, and no end becomes the ultimate form. A photo, not what it reflects, is that the viewer and the photographer have experienced the process of arriving, that is, the experience is on the way.

This is the feeling when I read the photo.

For a few years, I was obsessed with photography and said that it was photography. It was better to watch the photo (the photo was the result of photography). I found that documentary photography gave me a short story like a short story. For example, its exception to life, it has the potential drama that cannot be blocked. After selecting or accidental shutter sports, the possible stories are retained. The festival first shows a mystery, and it invites reading to start imagination. Stephen Sharr said: "As a photographer, what I want to shoot is the appearance, but the appearance of things is a sign of various deep forces." It also has uncertainty, even if the photographer is present, he can only grab a particular moment. The appearance is the shell, and the light and shadow are its atmosphere. The frame of the camera can only determine the local destiny. One of the changes may be placed in the center of the thing or it may run counter to the back. All kinds of encounters make the photos silent. From the entire process, the behavior of taking photos is like writing, a photo can become a short story, and the theme photography of the series is like a novel. It reflects a wider theme. The scene arrives.

Let's talk about the election first, which is the essence of short stories. It opened the time and space of the novel. From this to the other, let the reading of the readings pursue the stories that the characters may occur in the previous time and the problems they are facing in the time after the time. This look back and overlooking is just focused on the current eyes. In the short soldiers, the corner of the obscure 氤氲 slowly emerged, but it still has its limitations, just like the scenery in the fog, the scenery in the depth of the field needs to mobilize the reader’s reader’s. Imagine can fill it. It can be concluded that short stories need to mobilize readers with the most imaginative text.

In Malx's short story "Sweeping Speed ​​Speed", the imagination was inspired by the current performance of the mother and daughter (especially the mother). Can be questioned by readers. The identity of the identity of "thief" is exactly made by the mother's role. The woman went to the priest to find her son's cemetery. The thief killed ". This is a identification that novels are thrown first, but carefully consider whether this is an accurate answer, it is worth thinking, because the woman later said, "He is a very good person" (meaning outside, very good people, very good people It shouldn't be so dead), but the novel inhibits the mood of her mother. We don't know what kind of inner suffering she has experienced. The prequel to the life of this thief who had been a boxer was also described as shelved. The effective information was not much. This is the excerpt. It uses limited content to stimulate the viewer's inquiry attention. Another look worth exploring comes from those who should have been sleeping at noon, but at this time, what kind of people are they who want to see the mother and daughter who broke into the town? The novel is used to form a three -dimensional sense of time and space with two scenarios worth watching, and the characters who do not need to say more.

Looking at the atmosphere again, the appearance of the atmosphere is like the background of the photo, which is the space relying on the character, and the space can be said. It often achieves some kind of consistency with the emotions of the character. This is an important factor in the atmosphere of the character. The atmosphere here does not refer to the simple description of the environment. The description is just a step that enters the environment. It is far from the completion of the atmosphere, but just the beginning. The atmosphere is a strong hint of short stories. It has a bipolar form. One is the visible nature (including natural landscape and artificial landscape), and the other is the influence of the former. Hidden, exert their secret impact on the present. When we read a short story, after the year and depth, when the story and the characters gradually dissipate, it is easy to recall the atmosphere.

For example, William Tref's short story "The Children of Tailor", the novel generally tells a story that a young man unfortunately drove and killed a girl and fled, and was entangled with the girl's mother, but this is not a place where the novel makes me remember. What I can quickly recall is the long pavement of the beginning of the story. It is the part of the young man who drove a pair of strange men and women to see the statue of the Virgin who would cry, because there was no unexpected travel, the story did not later. What kind of impact will the virgin statue of the tears bring? Why does a strange passenger want to go to see it in a hurry? Is the tears of the Virgin real? The various hints of the novel make us think that watching the Virgin like this behavior will bring different meanings, but in the end, the novel does not mention what the tourist feels like the Virgin image. Did they see it crying? The novel only outlines an important atmosphere: "The radio said to rain earlier, but there was no sign of rain. There was no breeze in the dusk in October, and the darkness began to come." If it is a photographer, how to shoot this pair Watch the photos of the male and female statues in the dark? The novel mentioned that the Portarge area where the Virgin statue is located is also gloomy during the day. How can I show this secret scene? I think the novel gives a good angle, that is, watching from the young driver's car. We imagine that the size of the window first frames the scope of the field of vision. It looks like a frame that determines the frame, and then the two vague figures of the center of the field of vision facing a more vague image of the Virgin statue should be very. Dark, a large number of black and gray sky curtains are full of it, it will make this scene emerge ... This scene also shrouded the atmosphere of the later story. We think that the photos naturally have the emotional effects of the characters. Because of the facial characteristics, this does not need to be covered, and it comes directly, which is more powerful than the description of the novel. But there are some photos that borrow the novel's method to replace the face with other limbs and things, which is more shocking than directly presenting.

There is a photo, from Dorosi Lan Ge, called "Migration Cotton Pickler". The photo was taken in 1940. The background is the Great Depression in the United States. Understand the time where this photo is in, if not, it does not hinder, because the photo itself can say. The photo is a young man. He only showed half of his face, his eyes were deep, his eyelashes were slender, and his eyes were formed by shadows to form a cave. The focus of the photo is one hand, and the palm of the hand faces the viewer. It blocks the part of the character's nose (this is the face that invisible mouth). The palm completely opened by the palm of the palm cleverly filled the character's expression and completed the words. What kind of hand is this? It is covered with the marks of the work, drying and dehydrating, similar to the wrinkles on the face of the old man -this impact is large enough, especially this hand comes from a young man, which can almost be regarded as a pair of old faces. hand. Yes, it is a pair, because the other hand shows two eagle -like fingers in the corner of the photo, which not only has the vicissitudes of the work, but also the color given by the sun. The photographer completed the overall portrayal of the characters with alternatives, and we didn't need to look at a complete face at all.

I still think of one hand, from Zhang Ailing. Zhang Ailing wrote characters, especially heads and clothing, which is extremely fine. She undertakes the pulse of classical novels, as if reading words can sketch the character. In "Color, Ring", what I remember was not the appearance of the characters, but the objects on the hands and hands. At the beginning of the novel, playing mahjong, a phrase "A diamond ring light shot" revealed the atmosphere of the novel, just like the exhibition of the diamond ring, what kind of fire drill and pink diamond, it lined with Jiazhi's hoe, The novel wrote, "Only she does not have a diamond ring, and wearing it is this emerald. I have long known that I wo n’t wear it. I do n’t need to introduce it after the plot. , Of course, the novel is of course a grand writing here. "She wore the pink diamond ring on the side to the side and looked at it. Compared with her rose red nail polish, in fact, it was reddish. It is not too big, but the bald head is extremely sufficient, shiny, and like aliens, red with a sense of mystery. "钻戒是用金子买的，11根大条子，这引发了佳芝的感叹，“只有一千零一夜里才有这样的事。用金子，也是天方夜谭里的事。”因为钻戒的出现， We don't need to consider the changes of Jiazhi anymore. How can she let go of the good opportunity to get this time, let Mr. Yi run away, and the psychological ups and downs when "walking" can be explained. The presentation of the novel replaces more psychological descriptions of the characters, and the psychology is not easy to be viewed, but it is easy to be observed as an appearance.

These two examples, let us see the characters that are easy to express, especially the emotions conveyed by the face are covered up, and the alternative — hand — has an unprecedented artistic effect, it is more exposed than direct emotional exposure.It is deeper into the minds of the viewer, and what it causes is what the short stories want to do -invite the viewer's imagination and participation.The latter, especially in the novel's performance, has also appeared in the psychology.The capture of things is the powerful function of the photo. In "Color, Precept", things have become the highlights of writing. It has completed the filling of the psychological state and surpassing a momentary state with a visible direct force.It is not difficult to see that both (photos and novels) have avoided their own specialties and completed the viewing from a "other" perspective.Content source: "Literature and Art", July 27, 2022, 3rd edition
