My dear friend JC has left us this afternoon after months of anguish and affliction with cancer.| 我親愛的朋友JC今天下午離開了我們,在歷經數月與癌癥鬥爭的苦痛掙紮之後。JC and I had a special bond and I treasure every moment we shared together. JC was a man with genuine kindness that was contagious to all those around him. We planned to launch a photo book of Race and I with various photographs of us taken throughout the years in a personal and professional capacity that transcended beyond the workplace. Such an act of kindness was typical of my dear friend and the sadness runs even deeper when I realize the wonderful work that was meant to be is now left only to imagination. But it would not be fair to dwell on 'what if' when JC has contributed so much. His photo exhibition is a testament to his great work and please pay him a final tribute by visiting the exhibition and purchasing his work.| JC跟我很要好,我珍惜與他在一起的每一刻。JC為人十分真誠和善,能感染周圍所有人。我們本來計劃要做一本Race和我的照片集,收錄這幾年來在個人和專業人士鏡頭下我們的各種照片,不僅限在工作場合。這樣的好主意肯定需要這位親愛的好朋友來實現,當我意識到這個優秀作品現在只剩想象,更加悲哀起來。但JC已經傾心奉獻如此之多,再要他實現這個"如果",不公平。他的攝影展集合了許多精彩作品,請前往參觀並購買他的作品,以此為他送行。"JC you are such a dear friend to me because of who you are and what you are. Walking with you has given me the pleasure to be by your side and these precious times have imprinted our true friendship. You will always remain a special one in my heart. I miss you, I really miss you... "| "JC,你是我這麽好的朋友,因為你是你。曾陪伴你一起,走在你身邊的我很快樂,這些珍貴的時光為我們的真友誼刻下烙印。你在我心中將永遠是特別的一個,我想念你.....真的想念你…" I've pasted the heartfelt words from JC's friend. He has touched so many lives. Thank you for sharing this with us, Wallace -

Hello,
我叫WALLACE,是JC的理工大學攝影系同學,5年前到台灣工作,替台灣的雜誌拍攝.今日得知Johnny 離開我們,心情非常感慨,人生無常.還記得當年他畢業作品,替臨終病人拍攝面對生面終結得最後過程,他這個作品當時非常有爭議性,兩位教授持極端的評價, 一位認為用鏡頭去拍攝毫無還擊力量的臨終病人是不道德,令一位卻認為JC為他們記錄人生的最後旅程,使他們樂觀積極去面對死亡,從而找回生命的價值.
一般人認為這樣議題的攝影作品,一定是充滿悲傷,恐怖的氛圍,但JC的處理手法截然不同,他利用彩色底片表現每位被攝者的皮膚質感,溫暖而歡樂的色彩氣 氛,呈現出每位被攝者有如初生嬰兒般的膚質,絲毫沒有生離死別的感覺,鼓勵大家勇敢地完成人生的最後旅程.他的堅持,讓他的作品感動了大家.這麼多年來, 他的作品仍然保持著他在理大時的風格,被攝者對他的信任,赤裸呈現被攝者的特質,鏡頭下都是活跳跳熱愛生命的個體.
今天他走上當年他拍攝的主題得同樣道路,希望他一路好走,回到祂的懷抱.(Johnny Chang 1973-2007)
I remember JC.
