新闻学院的一天，我拍了什么
从早课前的走廊，到采访练习后没推回去的椅子，这是我镜头里很普通的一天。
What I photographed during a day at journalism school
如果只看课程表，这一天没什么特别：上课、讨论、做采访练习，再回宿舍写作业。相机里留下来的，是这些事情中间很短的空隙。
早课前，走廊的灯还亮着，窗边有人低头看笔记。课间大家已经开始收电脑，刚才讨论的案例还没聊完。采访练习结束以后，教室空了几分钟，桌边有水杯，几把椅子歪着。它们比整齐的课堂合照更像我当天看到的样子。
我没有一直举着相机。和同学说话、听课的时候就把它收起来，等大家停下来，或自己走到一边时再拍。一直想着“还缺什么画面”，很容易把上课也过成一次拍摄任务。
晚上选图，我留下了一张走廊、一张讨论中的侧脸、一张空教室，还有回宿舍路上的树。它们没有交代完整的一天，但前后放在一起，已经能看出早上的匆忙、下午的疲惫和下课后的放松。
这是我第一次认真把一天整理成一组照片。下次再拍，我想少补几张“说明发生了什么”的画面，多留意那些只有在现场才会注意到的小动作。
Read the English versionFrom the corridor before an early class to the chairs left behind after interview practice, this is an ordinary school day through my camera.
On the timetable, this day was ordinary: class, discussion, an interview exercise, then homework back at the dorm. The photographs I kept were not those main events, but the short gaps between them.
Before an early class, the corridor lights were still on and someone was reading notes by the window. During the break, laptops were closing while the conversation about the case continued. After interview practice, the classroom stayed empty for a few minutes, with cups on the desks and several chairs out of place. Those scenes looked more like the day I saw than a neat class photograph would have.
I did not keep the camera raised. While talking with classmates or listening in class, I put it away. I photographed when people paused or when I had stepped aside. Thinking constantly about missing shots can turn a school day into another assignment.
That evening I selected a corridor, a face during discussion, an empty classroom, and a tree on the walk back. They do not explain the whole day, but together they still carry the morning rush, the afternoon tiredness, and the relief after class.
This was my first serious attempt to turn one school day into a photo sequence. Next time I want fewer pictures that merely explain what happened, and more of the gestures I could only have noticed by being there.
