## **Communications** *Talking, texting, typing — the choreography of staying connected.* This week, the focus is on **how people communicate in public** — phones, gestures, conversations, glances, and distractions. We’re surrounded by it: * Heads tilted toward screens * People talking, laughing, deciding * Fingers tapping out messages * Cables dangling from pockets * Video calls on sidewalks * Loud Bluetooth conversations no one asked to overhear * Quiet moments of connection—or isolation—in a crowd Let’s photograph **what communication looks like today**, out on the street. Person to person, person to device, person to the world. *** ### What to Look For: * **People mid-call** — expressive gestures, facial tension, pacing * **Texting and typing** — heads down, thumbs moving, lost in thought * **Groups talking** — animated, laughing, arguing, leaning in * **This isn't just phone** — its about people sharing ideas, jokes, decisions and commentary * **One-sided conversations** — people speaking into the air via earbuds * **Body language** — implications to the person nearby, or hardware device; posture shaped by headphones, screens, or social cues * **Solo moments** — someone sitting alone, preoccupied with their screen This is about **motion, emotion, and connection and disconnection** — how we communicate *with, without*, or *through* devices *** ### Approach & Style Ideas: * Shoot **fast** — gestures and expressions come and go quickly * Use a **longer lens** if you want to keep distance * Or go **wide and close** to emphasize context and contrast * Try **candid street portraits** of people mid-gesture * Look for **layers** — someone talking in the foreground, someone texting in the back * Play with **reflection** — phones in windows, faces in screens * Go for **motion blur** if it helps tell the story of urgency or distraction *** ### Why This Matters: We’re all constantly communicating — but often, we’re not really *present*. This assignment is a way to document the **modern rituals of connection** — or perhaps, **disconnection**. It’s a chance to photograph the **little human dramas** happening everywhere: the argument on or off the phone, the joke shared, the waiting, the searching, the scrolling. *** ### Meet-Up Details: **Start:** 2:30 PM **Location:** Mong Kok MTR Exit D3, street level, by the phone booth—how appropriate! **Debrief:** 4:00 PM at Couch Club (subject to change). G/F T.O.P. Building, 700 Nathan Road, Mong Kok. Let’s talk about what we saw — and what people *didn’t* see, while staring into their screens. *** ### After the Walk: Post up to **5-7 images** that capture **communication in action** — or in absence. Look for **emotion, contrast, and expression**. What does it look like when people are reaching out — and what does it look like when they’re not? COMMENT on your fellow photographers work. Constructive criticism is welcome, but the idea is to be involved.

🐣《內向小雞的福音》 從前，在一座不太熱鬧的農場裡，住著一隻叫小米的小雞。牠不愛在人群中跳舞，也不喜歡參加雞圈裡的鬥嘴比賽。每天，大部分的時間，小米都靜靜地坐在角落，看著雲飄，看著風走，看著其他小雞嘰嘰喳喳地跑來跑去。 有些雞覺得牠怪異，有些雞說牠冷淡，也有一些雞直接忘了牠的存在。小米不是沒聽見那些話，只是牠把這些聲音收進心裡，像收進一個沒有回音的盒子裡，讓它們靜靜地沉下去。 但其實，小米的世界一點也不小。 牠會記住每一場雨開始落下的聲音，也會在每次黃昏時分，看著太陽怎麼一點一點染紅田野。牠知道哪一棵樹下有最柔軟的泥土，知道哪一隻小鴨最近心情不好，也知道農夫每天早晨喝的不是咖啡，而是溫牛奶加蜂蜜。 牠沒說出來，不代表牠沒感覺。牠只是習慣了用安靜的方式，擁抱這個世界。 有一天，農場辦了一場「誰是最有趣的小雞」比賽。其他小雞爭先恐後地表演唱歌跳舞、模仿貓叫、講冷笑話。全場笑聲不斷。小米在角落，看著，笑了下，沒打算參加。 就在比賽快結束時，天空突然下起了雨，場地一片混亂，大家四處奔逃。這時，小米慢慢地走向中央，抬頭看了一眼天，然後輕聲說道：「這場雨，會在七分鐘後停。你們不用怕。」 大家停下來，看著牠。 七分鐘後，雨真的停了。 從那天起，其他小雞開始注意到這隻安靜的小雞。牠不擅長表演，但牠知道天氣、懂得觀察，也從不打擾別人。牠不搶風頭，但牠總是在每個需要的時候，剛剛好地出現。 小米沒變得多話，也沒變得喧鬧。牠還是那隻坐在角落的小雞。但奇妙的是，那個角落，開始有其他小雞坐下來了。有的只是想靜靜，有的只是想有人可以不說話地陪著。 🐤 給所有內向的小雞： 你不需要變得外向，才值得被喜歡。 你不需要大聲說話，才有存在的重量。 你靜靜地在，就已經足夠美好。 這世界，其實一直在等你，用你的方式，發光。

《狗牙》（Dogtooth, 2009）– 導演：尤格·藍西莫（Yorgos Lanthimos） - 📌 劇情簡介：一對父母將三個孩子從小隔離在家，灌輸他們虛假的語言與知識，讓他們完全無法與外界溝通。 - 🎯 主題關聯：孩子們被「訓練」成無法表達真實語言與思想的人，極具象徵性。 😇 你暗暗中曾有此經驗而不自覺嗎？這劇情有喚起你僅餘的意志嗎？？？
