一个摄影家之死

人的一生，總是為了追尋生命中的光，而走在漫長的旅途上 ~~~

The Inupiat Eskimos have long had a great respect and affinity for the great white bear, Nanook (polar bear) which share their world of ice. Perhaps it was from the bear that they learned to sit, for days on end if need be, by the breathing hole of a seal. The bears figure prominently in Inupiat lore, often taking on human characteristics.~~~ Michio Hoshino 1995

认识这位日本国宝级摄影师，是在Fairbanks参观阿拉斯加大学北极博物馆的摄影展。

星野道夫一生热爱歌颂大自然生态的循环交替，最后，他连自己的生命也奉献于他爱护的大棕熊（Grizzly）。1996年，他在苏联拍摄棕熊纪录片时被一头大棕熊袭击而逝世。

对一生致力保育阿拉斯加自然生态的星野道夫，以这种凄美的结局回归他热爱的尘土中，我们不知道应该是惋惜呢，还是上天造化弄人？ 虽然他人以逝，灵魂却永永久久的留在这片他爱的土地。。。。。。。

星野道夫毕业于日本大学，在19岁跑到老远的阿拉斯加荒野，以一颗炙热的心，来感受这拥有严酷生活条件的边疆。他旅居阿拉斯加超过20年，并且以他细腻温柔的笔触与摄影才华记录了他对这片冰原冻土的热爱。

在他的创作里，有阿拉斯加银白世界的神秘，冬夜里婆娑起舞的极光，坚毅的寒带云杉，可爱的Forget-me-not；荒野中的麋鹿大迁移，慵懒的海豹，跃出海面座头鲸，可爱逗趣的北极熊，好玩的母子熊一一补捉入镜头，呈现在扣人心弦的相片里。他与许多到这片土地拓荒者一样，淘金的，捕鱼的，打猎的，探险的，穷一生探索这无垠的世界，少一点吃苦耐劳的毅力与耐心都不行！

他以最直接的方式与大自然贴近，以心拍出一张张奇妙的世界，写出一篇篇朴质真实的札记。让大家能够随着他的足迹，体验人类在恶劣自然环境下与野生世界并存，领悟天地万物之间和谐与脆弱的关系！

特地买了Michio的画册慰劳辛苦抬着相机的老公

Everything is just the same as it was last year! Naturally. Everything is repeated in an endless circle, indifferent to human joy and sorrow. Perhaps this is why we find solace in the predictable order of nature’s progression…..It is moment like this that make me want to call out, “hey, there, Time. I wish we could meet again, just as I knew you during my childhood.” ~~~ 
Michio Hoshino 1991

The touch of the arctic wind caressing my cheeks. The sweet smell of the arctic tundra, the pale light of these summer nights. Clusters of forget-me-nots, so small as to be easily overlooked. I want to stand still, compose myself, and record this landscape in the memory of m five senses. I want to value these moments that flow by, without producing anything at all. I always want to know in my heart that there is another kind of time flowing by in parallel to the hectic conduct with the man’s daily life.” ~~~ Michio Hoshino 1995
