另外关于城市旅行照片,编辑觉得最有趣的地方,就是通过互联网接触到这组照片,并同时感受到城市的多样性和不可预测性。晴空万里阳光灿烂的北京日子固然不少。前几天看一篇文章说:“互联网的主要作用是效率最大化和寻找信息的便捷性,但有一项工作它做得还不够完美:意外发现新事物的才能( serendipity)。有时,对于那些最重要的思想,甚至连我们自己都不知道我们需要它。城市的重要性恰好证明人们迫切需要分享彼此的思想。不管这种分享发生在哈德森大街上、挤满工程师的酒吧里,还是预备役部队的训练场上,信息交流才是关键所在。有趣的是,这种“城市舞蹈”无法预先设计舞蹈动作,也无法自上而下进行控制。相反,城市的创造力总是与自由相伴而生,也离不开人口密集街区的固有嘈杂。”这种自由也出现在无法预测的天气,无法预测的游客,以及无法预测什么样的游客是否会摄影,如果会摄影他会遇见什么样的天气并以此为北京拍摄完成自己的作品,定义出他所见的一个城市的基调,并通过互联网分享到全世界。如果他是晴天到达,他的北京旅行系列会有什么不同之处?
form the Photographers : João was born in Lima, Peru. He spent his youth avoiding team sports and drawing elaborate blueprints for things like minivans that turned into submarines. João found the perfect amalgam of art and engineering when he inherited his father’s old Pentax. At the age of 15, the family moved to Vancouver, and João used his camera to document the strange new landscape and get close to girls. After completing a degree in Psychology in Canada, he studied photography at Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, executing slick, highly-litfashion shoots. But it was his intensely personal images he shot in Lima that first attracted magazines such as the Fader and Travel & Leisure tohis work, earning João recognition as one of PDN’s 30 in 2005. João is based in New York City.
