Once upon a time, doctors across Eurasia imagined human beings in ways that strike us today as profoundly strange and alien. For over 2,000 years, they worried anxiously about fluids to which our modern doctors spare hardly a thought (such as sweat, phlegm and qi) and they obsessed over details (such as whether a person’s pores were open or closed) whose meaning and vital impor...(展开全部)

作者Michelle Bates 被称作Holga女皇。她从1991年开始使用Holga这种简易的塑料相机拍照，在世界各地举办展览和培训班。去年10月，她出版了一本专门讲述如何创造性使用Holga等各种玩具相机拍照的摄影书《塑料相机：充满创造力的游戏》（Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity）。 这是一本特别可爱的书，其中不仅仅集纳了34位摄影师的精彩作品，同时还讲述了他们在使用塑料相机时的创作技巧。从前期对相机的使用，一直到后期如何冲印照片的技巧，非常全面。有的摄影师喜欢在拍摄的时候晃动相机，有的则使用专业闪光灯，然后过片的时候让照片只卷过去一部分再拍摄，造成一种重叠效果，拍摄出的照片分外时尚。 对于LOMO一族来说，此书无疑可以成为宝典。 *The first toy camera guide writte...(展开全部)
