45.野生动物保护区内的路况很不好,颠簸如摇篮,对车子的损害很大。这辆车从后面赶上来,刚超过我们就翻倒在地,前轮的轴承断了,左前轮脱离。不一会从车里面爬出了几个女孩。我们的司机见状马上停下车,上前帮忙。摄影的功能和责任之一就是纪实,我拿起相机跟了下去,从头到尾将全部过程用相机记录下来。这是其中的一张照片,一车有难,八方支援。其实前前后后还有许多曲折故事,包括头天晚上迷路时对司机的误解。知道我喜欢写作,本团摄影师们鼓励我写出来。One picture is worth a thousand words,其它的都不说了。第二天半道上又碰见了那几位女孩,结果她们换了一辆车重新上了旅途,欢声笑语一脸阳光和我们车擦身而过。
