Oldies but goldies: Liu Tao photo-op
divdivSincer.. nu-mi aduc aminte daca am mai scris despre asta sau nu. Nu cred. Este vorba despre un fotograf chinez, pe numele sau Liu Tao care a iesit sa faca niste poze in Xiamen intr-o zi ploioasa. div align=”justify”La un moment dat a observat un biciclist cazand in mijlocul strazii din cauza unei gropi adanci care nu se vedea, fiind acoperita de o balta./divdiv align=”justify”Liu Tao nu a facut altceva decat sa se aseze in cel mai bun unghi.. si sa astepte ca alti biciclisti sa pateasca acelasi lucru pentru ca el sa-i poata fotografia./divdiv align=”justify”De aici a pornit un mic scandal (prin 1995 se intampla asta) si fotograful a fost acuzat de rea-intentie si blamat indelung pentru ca a stat cu aparatul la ochi asteptand ca un alt om sa pateasca ceva rau.br /br //divdiv align=”justify”Cititorii ziarului Beijing Youth Daily unde au aparut imaginile au trimis la redactie nenumarate scrisori in care il acuzau pe Liu Tao. br /br //divdiv align=”justify”Iata cateva:/divdiv align=”justify”em”The pictures are well shot, but the person who shot this is disgusting. He knew there was a pit, but was waiting there for someone to fall over.”/em/divdiv align=”justify”em”The photographer should really be condemned since he knew there definitely would be other victims.”br /br //em/divdiv align=”justify”Iata cum a raspuns acuzelor Liu Tao:/divdiv align=”justify”em”Someone saw me with the camera and asked if I was a reporter. I said yes. He said that there is a hole in the road and someone had fallen already, and that the media people should make a news report. I looked at where he was pointing to, and I only saw an area of water. I could not even see the road surface, not to mention a hole. Using my reporter’s instinct, I held my camera and waited there. Later, a bicyclist came down the road and he fell over. I took photographs of the process. The photographer’s profession is sometimes very cruel. It was wet and windy, and I stood there for almost an hour before I captured that scene. If I did not get this, I could not use a photograph to claim that there was a hole there. If I could not photograph the hole, the government departments will not pay any attention, and the hole won’t get filled. That would mean even more people falling when it rains. After I took the photos, I went to a nearby construction site and got material to post a sign there to warn people.”br /br //em/divdiv align=”justify”Cateva luni mai tarziu au aparut pe internet alte cateva fotografii cu alti oameni cazand in aceeasi groapa.. fotografiati din diferite unghiuri.. lucru care arata ca Liu Tao nu a servit interesul public asa cum a susinut. br /br //divdiv align=”justify”Nimeni nu contesta faptul ca unele fotografii cauzeaza schimbari sociale sau de atitudine. Un exemplu perfect in acest sens este mai vechiul caz al lui Stanley Forman despre care sigur am mai scris a href=”http://2dor.blogspot.com/2007/02/oldies-but-goldies-consecintele.html”aici./a/divdiv align=”justify”Dar sunt aceste doua cazuri comparabile? Unde se trage linia intre observator si participant? Si cum stii cand ai depasit aceasta limita?br /br //divdiv align=”justify” /divdiv align=”justify”a href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKqa40aUZ50/R0VuJL2ILWI/AAAAAAAAAbU/mtKOLTN0iDM/s1600-h/277699.jpg”img id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135632054163615074″ style=”DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center” alt=”” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKqa40aUZ50/R0VuJL2ILWI/AAAAAAAAAbU/mtKOLTN0iDM/s400/277699.jpg” border=”0″ //abr /diva href=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKqa40aUZ50/R0VuEb2ILVI/AAAAAAAAAbM/JY6en3NK2TI/s1600-h/277698.jpg”img id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135631972559236434″ style=”DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center” alt=”” src=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKqa40aUZ50/R0VuEb2ILVI/AAAAAAAAAbM/JY6en3NK2TI/s400/277698.jpg” border=”0″ //abr /diva href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKqa40aUZ50/R0VuAL2ILUI/AAAAAAAAAbE/PN0TRv49CbI/s1600-h/277694.jpg”img id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135631899544792386″ style=”DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center” alt=”” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKqa40aUZ50/R0VuAL2ILUI/AAAAAAAAAbE/PN0TRv49CbI/s400/277694.jpg” border=”0″ //a/div/div/div/div/div
