地铁一直是心里的一个痒痒,想拍已久。
对地铁印象最深的还是纽约的,尤其是Bruce Davidson拍摄的这套纽约地铁,浓郁到血腥,这家伙把地铁里的人看作“深海鱼”。
相比之下,北京的地铁卫生文明多多了,一个月拍下来,感触颇多,以至于有些感动,包括有些文字在胸中慢慢堆积起来,找时间写出来。
一直想各地llm拍摄本地的地铁,然后出一个专刊,荷兰的,旧金山的,纽约的,东京的,北京的,上海的,广州的。。。 说不定会很好看。

以下这段介绍Bruce Davidson的文字,不知能否请棋子大师出山译一下,介绍给大家。先谢了。
Since the ground was broken, New York City's subway system has been the stuff of legend as well as a source of inspiration and fear. This dark, democratic environment provides the setting for photographer Bruce Davidson's first extensive series in color. Subway riders are set against a gritty, graffiti-strewn background, displayed in tones that Davidson describes as "an iridescence like that I had seen in photographs of deep-sea fish." Davidson's range is wide and deep, his affinity evident. Never before has the subway been portrayed in such detail, revealing the interplay of its inner landscape and outer vistas. The photographs move from the menacing to the lyrical, from the soulful to the satiric. They include lovers, commuters, tourists, families, and the homeless. From weary strap-hangers to languorous ladies in summer dresses to stalking predators, Davidson's compassionate vision illuminates the stubborn survival of humanity. Davidson's accompanying text tells the story behind the images, clarifying his method and dramatizing his experience. He details his obsession with the subway, its rhythms and its particular madness. His naked prose, together with his compelling images, evoke the speeding sensation of a subway car, tunneling out of the darkness into new light and unmistakable beauty. In Davidson's own words, " I wanted to transform the subway from its dark, degrading, and impersonal reality into images that open up our experience again to the color, sensuality, and vitality of the individual souls that ride it each day."
