沒想到樓上兩張不相干的圖竟讓我有了頓悟的感覺 (一切都是心在作怪 :-)), 思緒也特別明朗清晰, 就來分享一張經典作品:

Man Painting the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France, 1953
Marc Riboud/Magnum Photos, Inc.
這是網路上下載的, 左邊的鋼樑有被裁掉一點, 稍微沒有那麼粗壯, 原圖的色調品質也都優太多, 構圖也更為有力.
Marc Riboud 在某個場合被詢問到自己最重要的五張圖時, 這是第一張, 並且客氣的說: 我沒有徵詢被攝者的同意, 怕出工安意外, 事後也沒想說拍到的是一張有趣的圖, 這不是甚麼大家說的好圖, 不過是布列松講的: 好的幾何構圖, 全文如下:
I walked up the tower, maybe one hour of walking. Some people ask me, "Did you ask the painter for permission?" I said, "My goodness, no. To talk with them was to risk slipping and falling down." I've always been shy and I've always been trying to ignore the people I was photographing, so that they ignore me. I'm trying always to take a better picture than the one before but I was not sure of this one.
I didn't think after I shot the picture that I shot something interesting. I learned from Cartier-Bresson what's called "geometry in photography." It's not dependent on what you'd call a good photograph, but good geometry.
我最喜歡那個 painter 的姿勢與動作, 因虛化的城市背景的烘托與對照而更顯得優雅, 看到這樣的圖, 腦子裡就一直重複浮現梵谷講的: elegance of figure, grace of movement.
Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second. --Marc Riboud
