科學圖說 Scientific introduction

猴,靈長之族,每觀其狀,如照鏡中人類,思人之往昔與性情。大概也是觀猴察人情之思慮,我開始了拍猴之路,1年時間,20幾次來到牠們的聚居地,跟蹤拍攝,記錄喜怒哀樂,用鏡頭見證興衰榮辱,一代代小猴子的出生成長,猴王王位之爭的殘酷與悲壯。拍猴是猴,既為猴,便有猴子的天性。好動活潑,愛模仿,在樹梢之間輕盈靈動,如森林裡的精靈。拍猴不是猴,繪其似人之狀。牠們對相機世界的好奇給我歡樂,母子相依的溫情給我感動,地位食物之爭給我思考。一年的拍攝,累積的是猴子的故事,豐厚的是我的心靈。


Every time I observe monkeys, these primates, it is like looking into a human mirror. Over a period of one year, I came to where these monkeys lived more than 20 times, tracking them, photographing them and recording their every mood from happy to angry to sad. Through the lens, I captured them in many situations and behaviors. I witnessed juvenile monkeys growing into adults and the competition for alpha male turn cruel. These monkeys are active and like to imitate. They move gracefully among the treetops, like spirits of the forest. They are curious about the camera and come to play with it. The warmth between mother and child moved me and the competition for food and position made me think. During that year of photography, I accumulated many stories of these monkeys, which have enriched my life.
