得獎作品
In the cage｜劉耀斌
入選 Selected Work Award
庸庸碌碌，且停且走，在有形或無形的框架裡，我們積極或消極地扮演自己，
周遭無所不在的束縛，早已讓人們習慣方格子裡的生活。
透過快門，希望幫自己意識到現實世界的拘束，
像是從日常生活的反芻中，挖掘出生命的牢籠。
是繼續無感的習慣下去，還是，揮揮手告別枷鎖，因為，心底裡已經找到出口。
Whether we’re hands-on and energetic, or passive and unambitious, our lives tend to be in a rut. We drift along with the rest, now stopping, now going, our movements and behaviors constantly restrained by visible or invisible frameworks and conventions. Gradually, we get used to the restrictions and constraints that control almost our lives. And we are even hardly aware of how much of our lives is determined by external factors.
Through my pictures, I would like to put this kind of awareness into a sharp focus for myself.
It is like finding the cage of life with the ruminations. And the question that arises is, will you keep living numbly, or will you say goodbye to the shackles of human bondage because your spirit has found a way out?
■ 拍攝地點 Location：台北 Taipei、新加坡 Singapore
■ 攝影心得 Experience：
為了得獎要交自己的照片，找了一陣子，這才發現有我在內的照片少的可憐。應該很多愛好攝影的朋友也是如此，精心策劃每一幕光與影的演出，貪婪的輕按快門，為的是儲存稍縱即逝的瞬間，然而這幕幕的光影之外，的確帶給我許多生活的驚奇與心靈的滿足。
（去年沒參賽，卻在首獎看到與自己同名同姓同樣愛好攝影的人，光影之外的驚奇，不是嗎？）
When looking for photos of myself to submit to the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi International Photo-taking Contest, I discover (after having spent quite some time looking) that there is a few of pictures having me in it. And I am sure many other photography lovers will have had similar experiences like I do. We are so focused on taking good pictures ourselves, on capturing that elusive play of light and shade and freezing the moments in time by pressing the shutter button greedily. More than that, this brings us many wonderful surprises and a deep inner satisfaction.
(Last year I did not participate in this contest, yet I saw that I shared the exact same name with the winner of the first prize. Isn’t one of those “surprises?”)
