好 High

"知道的人會有共鳴
不知道的人可能覺得我們很無聊"



樂魔 / The Negative Effect is a movie documentary about a group of young people obsessed with film photography. I like when the girl says in the video she shoots anything - taps, walls, roads, toilet bowls... Because that's what it feels like. When you pick up the camera you are possessed by this 無聊神/ irrational urge to shoot anything and everything.

There was once I walked past a construction site and took a picture of two men working on a two-storey high bridge. They saw my camera aimed at them and jokingly posed for me. After I took the picture they laughed and said in Hokkien: 吃飽沒事做 (literally, too free after eating).

I deliberated between throwing a rock at them and laughing.

I guess people are generally curious or amused, especially with the more toy-like plastic cameras. I don't encounter a lot of mocking, which is good, cos otherwise I really will start hurling rocks.
