I dunno much about Juming but fortunately, i have the chance to encounter his works in different places, different countries and different time. What fascinate me is the chemistry creates between his large-scaled sculptures and the environment...
Too windy tonite...and this old tune popped up in mind...a sad song related to wind...
Jimi Hendrix -Wind Cries Mary After all the jacks are in their boxes and the clowns have all gone to bed You can hear happiness staggering on down the street Footprints dressed in red and the wind whispers mary
A broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterdays life Somewhere a queen is weeping somewhere a king has no wife And the wind it cries mary
The traffic lights they turn of blue tomorrow And shine their emptiness down on my bed The tiny island sails downstream cause the life that lived is dead And the wind screams mary
Will the wind ever remember the names it has blown in the past And with this crutch its old age and its wisdom It whispers no this will be the last And the wind cries mary

it's about time to get a more intensive training for the marathon and i have already hurt my body... sigh... really cant push it .. my spirit is still young but my body also reveal the sign of a early 30's female's physical body ... :(
Helen Levitt(1931-)生於 Brooklyn, New York，自學攝影兼教兒童藝術。兒童便成了她拍攝的主要對象。In The Street: chalk drawings and messages, New York City 1938–1948 記錄了三十至四十年代，紐約街頭兒童用粉筆畫graffiti的作品集。其後她的作品集如Crosstown(黑白), Slide Show: The Color Photographs of Helen Levitt (彩色)及 Here and There(黑白)全部以街頭人、景、物為題材。她的作品風格寫實自然，人物不需在鏡頭前擺姿造作。在鏡頭下，一切平凡的事物呈現出一種難以形容的自然及詩意美。 看她的作品令我想起很喜歡的 Cartier Bresson，在網上閱讀一些文章時也發現她的作品常被提及與Bresson 和Walker Evans 共通之處，以下的節錄也許能說明一點： " Her self-taught education aligned her with Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans. Cartier-Bresson's work taught her three lessons: a blunt photographic record of ordinary facts could reveal the mystery and fantasy within daily life; that the poetry in such pictures turned its back on conventional value systems and notions of beauty; and that this art, which trafficked in the momentary, was not haphazard." 後記：得知她在1940年拍攝的短片 In the Street，很想看看…
