对于城市的成长,每个人都有自己的记录方式。
As for the growth of it, everyone has his own recording ways.
罗大万的记录方式,是用手里的镜头。在他的镜头里,城市、城市的人、城市的故事、城市的方方面面点点滴滴,或是细节,或是全景,或是局部,都得以用具象的方式呈现,并永久留存。
It is the lens that Luo Dawan uses to record this city. In his lens, the city and its citizens, stories of the city, all aspects of bits and pieces of the city, whether in details, panoramic view or parts, are all presented in the concrete way and stored forever.
罗大万的本职工作是医院的一名主任医师,摄影是他的副业,更准确一点就是爱好。
He is a doctor by profession and a photographer by avocation, more accurately, taking photos is just his hobby.
在风雨交加、电闪雷鸣的夜晚,罗大万架起相机捕捉那神秘且变幻莫测的夜空;在嘉陵江边一座高楼上撑起三脚架,拍摄闪电划过的渝中半岛;背着相机,穿梭在居民房之间的小巷。常常守候几小时,甚至是一个月、几个月,只为等待摁下快门的那一完美时刻。这种坚持,换来城市发展的珍贵影像记忆。
At a rainy night of wind with flashing thunder and rumbling lightning,Luo Dawan sets up his camera stand to capture the mysterious and unpredictable night sky; he props up a tripod in a high-rise by the Jialing River to shoot lightning across the Yuzhong Peninsula;he shuttles in the alleys among the residents' houses. He often waits for several hours, even a month or over, just for the perfect moment to press the shutter. Precious memories of urban development come from this kind of insistence.
美国摄影大师BruceBarnbaum在其《摄影的艺术》一书中写道:一张照片的意义在于,将原本我们一直熟悉,却一直没有看清楚的事物重新看清楚。
Bruce Barnbaum, an American photographer, wrote in his book the Art of Photography: the meaning of a photo liesin that we become familiar again with what we have ever been familiar with but haven’t seen clear yet.
山城,对于一直生活在这里的重庆人来说,再熟悉不过。同时,对于山城的认知也许是模糊的、片面的。我们并没有真正看清楚山城,没看到它点滴的成长过程,积蓄的力量,绽放的生机。关于城市的故事,摄影师是有发言权的。我们可以透过罗大万照片中镜像的思考,探究真实山城变迁的故事,唤起山城人记忆深处关于这座城市最清晰的记忆和最昂扬的姿态。
For people who have been living here in Chongqing, this mountain city is nothing but familiar. Meanwhile, the perception of it may be vague or one-sided. We neither really discern this mountain city,nor see its growth process bit by bit, the accumulation of power or blooming vitality. Aboutits stories, the photographer has something to say. We can think them through the photos of Luo Dawan,exploring the real mountain city changes and evoking the depths memory of the mountain people on the city's most clear memory and the most high-spirited attitude.
在罗大万的这些新老照片的对比中,正诉说着一个城市发展的故事。
In the comparison of these old and new photographs, they are narrating stories of Chongqing development.
化龙桥天地湖,站在玻璃廊桥上,罗大万还能清晰记起这里在旧城改造前,曾经是一片破旧的居民房。镜头里曾经杂乱破旧的化龙桥,现在有了一个新名字:重庆IBD(国际商务区)。会仙楼曾经是解放碑最高的建筑,如今,会仙楼原址上拔地而起的是320米高的重庆环球金融中心……
About the Hualong Bridge Tiandi Lake,standing on the glass bridge, Luo Dawan has a distinct recollection of where was once dilapidated residential rooms before the transformation of the old city. The Hualong Bridge in the lens has been messy, while at present it has a new name: IBD(International Business District). Huixian Building was once the highest building in Jiefangbei, but now 320 meter-high Chongqing World Financial Center has sprung up on the original site of the Huixian Building.
城市的故事还在继续,罗大万也一直背着他的相机。仰望拔地而起的高楼大厦,俯瞰古色古香的传统街区,崛起的城市在镜头中的线条聚集,色块相交,构成了一幅幅“自然山水之美”“城市形态之美”的优美画卷。
The story of the city is still on the road and Luo Dawan will never put down his camera. Looking up to the high-rise buildings and overlooking the antique traditional blocks, this rising city lines up in the lens with the intersection of colors, which constitute perfect pictures of"natural beauty of the landscape"and"the beauty of urban figure" .
