For this trip I switched my primary camera from a digital camera (X100VI) to a film camera (Nikon S3/2k). I felt uneasy to make the change prior to the trip because I didn’t want to miss capturing anything interesting. That’s why I still bring the X100VI with me to shoot some moments that I want to share right away. So far I enjoy shooting analog while travelling. I have been compelled by the process to slow down and enjoy the trip itself more than from my previous experience where I focused too much on shooting and didn’t get to immerse in the travelling as much. I want to share everything I shot today BUT I will have to wait for another week or 2 after I come home to be able to see it!

這次旅行，我把主要的相機從數位相機（X100VI）換成了底片相機（Nikon S3 2000年復刻版）。出發前其實有點不安，擔心會錯過什麼有趣的畫面。所以我還是帶了 X100VI，一些想要即時分享的瞬間就用它來拍。目前為止，我非常享受旅行中使用底片拍攝的過程。拍底片讓我自然地放慢腳步，比起以前總是忙著拍照，這次我更能專注於旅行本身、好好體驗每個當下。我真的很想立刻分享今天拍的所有照片——但我得再等個一兩週，回家之後沖掃出來才看得到！

This Nikon S3 2000 edition is my first rangefinder. The history behind the original S3 and the story of its 2000 remake intrigued me so much that I was determined to get one. I was lucky to find a never-used piece within my budget.

Using it felt like learning photography all over again. The focusing method was a challenge, especially with my astigmatism—I wasn’t confident that any of the photos would turn out. But after getting my first roll back, I fell even more in love with the camera.

I especially love the sounds it makes—thanks to its metal frame and fully mechanical system. Here’s a quick ASMR video featuring my first two test rolls with the Nikon S3 2000 edition. The color shots were taken on Ektar 100, and the black-and-white shots were on expired Tmax 100.

這台 Nikon S3 2000 復刻版是我人生中的第一台旁軸相機。原版 S3 的歷史，加上 2000 年復刻版背後的故事，深深吸引了我，讓我下定決心一定要擁有一台。很幸運地，我找到了一台從未使用過、而且在預算內的機身。

使用它的過程就像重新學習攝影一樣。由於我有散光，旁軸對焦對我來說有點困難，我甚至不確定拍出來的照片是否能成功。不過當我拿到第一卷底片的時候，反而更加愛上了這台相機。

我特別喜歡它運作時發出的聲音——金屬機身與全機械結構帶來的那種聲響，真的很迷人。這裡是一段 ASMR 小短片，記錄我用 Nikon S3 2000 復刻版拍攝的前兩卷底片。彩色照片是用 Ektar 100 拍的，黑白則是使用過期的 Tmax 100。

Saul, who did much of his best work walking around his downtown New York neighbourhood, was saying something very timely to us: You're stuck at home, but that's not so bad. Look what I did without going anywhere! In a newly changed world, Margit and I needed no further inspiration. Today we find joy as we reflect on Saul roaming the streets with his camera, often unseen by those he encountered, including the anonymous souls who would reach a sort of immortality inside his photographs. We feel ever grateful that he had the ability to capture transcendent yet ephemeral moments of ordinary life that remained unseen to everyone but him. And we rejoice in sharing these seventy-six images, liberated anew after being buried deep in the archive for decades, unseen, until now.
