Shawshank's 岁月点滴

曾经为口袋机的尺寸，DSLR 的像素素质而激动过。而在用过它一个月后我却开始越发怀念单反的日子。
要拍出真正好的照片，非但是镜头素质，像素的还原，D300的零迟滞的开机速度和连拍能力，51点蜂窝煤的飞速精准对焦，外加真正所见即所得的取景都是NEX死也做不到的。
一张真正好的照片时机转瞬即逝，零点几秒的延误，和几厘米的取景上的差别就足以化神奇为腐朽。

NEX只能胜任到此一游机之责任。

Jeremy Lin, a no-name three weeks ago suddenly has taken front page everywhere. But why?
US is a funny country, under the name of equality, one cannot ostensibly treat someone differently because of the person’s race, but this 潜规则 is everywhere. I am Chinese, and I have a doctoral degree and I am automatically a tech geek, a math genius, not a manager, nor leader. The discrimination, or stereotype, a substitute when some people are reluctant to use the first one, is everywhere. If Lin were a NCAA ping-pong player, probably no one would give a damn. Or, if he were another white boy defying the “white man can’t jump” myth, few would care either.
Now Lin is a household celebrity, most Americans see him a the “Asian man can drive”, and Taiwanese are crazy coz his parents were from Taiwan, other Chinese are happy as he is ethnic Chinese. For most of us who still struggle to find our own identity in this country, it’s wonder the rise of Lin-sanity has stirred up a lot of fanfare.
Here, can we take it one step further? Instead of idolize him we can also be him. Let’s look at it this way: Lin is just another Chinese cracking the old spell: Yao Ming was the first dominant center in NBA, Lin secure a spot for Chinese as a point guard, Ma Youyou proved Chinese can also be musician; more and more companies are having Chinese managers, directors, and presidents. Beyond Ming-dynasty, Lin-sanity, we can create buzz words for ourselves, such as: fan-Tan-stic , yin-pressive, wang-derful, and on! If all of us can do that, the stereotype will soon be crumbling. The path won’t be easy, just like Lin’s (reference: Lin’s Wiki), but the destiny is inevitable.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, not a second-rate version of someone else.
