有一个糟糕的一天?请记住,总有人的情况更糟……

这是瑞奇·亚当斯 (Ricky Adams) 的徕卡 M6 遗体的照片,此前他在布里克斯顿 (Brixton) 拍摄照片时被抢劫了一段时间。

西约克郡相机度过了糟糕的一天

Ricky 还向我们发送了他在回答杂志问题时写的关于这件事发生的故事:

问:与任何专业摄影师一样,我敢肯定你不得不在一些粗略的场景中拍摄(坏邻居等......)。有没有一种情况是您愿意分享的最糟糕的情况?

答:我讨厌在简陋的街区拍摄照片,但通常那里才是拍出好照片的地方。

引人注目的事件发生在大约 9 或 10 年前的伦敦布里克斯顿。当我拐进一条小街时,我正四处走动拍几张照片,感觉到有人抓住了我的相机和手腕。我转身,与这个大块头面对面。当我躲开他并与他搏斗时,他朝我挥了几下,这似乎是永恒的。他拿着相机,我拿着背带。

他对我很好,所以我决定避免不可避免的事情并放弃相机。两个推着婴儿车的女人不明白刚刚发生的事情,开始冲那个男人大喊大叫。他停止奔跑并开始拉着相机带来回摆动相机,将相机从地上砸了 7 或 8 次,然后将它扔出 40 英尺。在街上。然后,他跑了。

我捡起残骸,撑着肿胀的脸颊走回自己住的地方。

也没有保险。

雪上加霜的是,我把它寄给了徕卡,看它是否能以任何方式修复。我得到的只是相机和一封两个字的信,上面写着:“无法修复”。

…哎哟!

幸运的是,这并没有让 Ricky 放弃摄影,他现在仍在拍摄,可以在rickyadamphoto.com上找到他的网站。
