逢星期日上午開著收音機都會聽到主持人急急子的節目「Urban Touch」，內容都是介紹香港的一些小事業/店舖，有賣香料的、凸板印刷、做胎毛筆、木器(佛具)製造、粥麵店、招牌製作、繪畫傳統banner、麵飽西餅店、音響喇叭維修、改衫店、賣綉花鞋、農耕……等。由於這些經營者很多都是家庭經營方式，我很好奇這些家庭的成員之間是怎樣合作的？他們怎樣繼承祖先的事業然後又再傳下去呢？

終於我邀請了急急子加入了這個攝影項目，並由她介紹那些經營者參加這個拍攝計劃。

拍攝其實是一種認知過程，胎毛筆是甚麼？為甚麼大女兒早上在外面替孩子剪頭髮後下午又到店裏幫忙？哈哈，原來胎毛筆是用孩子(顧客)的頭髮做的！很明顯大女兒是參與最多的，由此我想著自己的拍攝方向是應該有重點人物的，那是將來的繼承者嗎？那麼後來的粥麵店又如何？一個八十多歲阿婆帶著兩個五六十歲的兒子經營的小店因為重建而將要結業，這幀家庭照一下子便成為了歴史照片了，阿婆就是重點人物。如是者每幀家庭照都有一、兩個重點人物，他們背後都有著不同的故事，認真投入就是他們的共通點。

(急急子)

拍攝的時候，很擔心會拍得不好、技巧不佳，因為我覺得這些「家庭照」很重要。我們拍攝的對象，除了人物，店舖也是重要的一份子，他們和它曾共渡許多時光，我很榮幸可以為他們留下合照。感受尤深是拍攝白田邨的姚成記，因為在拍攝不久後，店舖便要結束了，相片會成為姚氏回憶的憑據。我把相片沖印給婆婆後，她很高興，還把店舖的桌子、水牌、碗碟、石磨送給我！我深深感受到相片的力量和做攝影師的好處！^_^

Every Sunday morning I listen to Amber Au’s radio programme Urban Touch which is about all different small shops and businesses in Hong Kong: those selling spices, printing with letterpress, making baby-hair pens, creating wooden Buddhist utensils, cooking congee, making signposts, painting traditional banners, baking breads and cakes, fixing hi-fis and stereos, altering clothes, sewing shoes, farming, etc. Most of them operate on a family basis. I am very curious how do family members cooperate with each other? How do they inherit the trades from their forefathers and pass them on?

Eventually I invited Amber to join this photography project, and let her introduce the operators of these shops and businesses to join us.

Shooting is a process of learning. What are baby-hair pens? Why does the eldest daughter work as a barber in the morning and help the family business in the afternoon? Ha! Those baby-hair pens are made of her customers’ (the kids’) hairs! Obviously this eldest daughter is much more involved in the business. I therefore think there should be a person of focus in my photographs in this project. Will he/she become the successor of this shop?

For the congee restaurant, how will it carry on? The shop is run by an eight-year-old lady and her two sons, who are in their 50s or 60s. It will be closed down soon because of redevelopment. The family portrait I took suddenly became a historical photograph, and the old lady is the person in focus. So every single family portrait has one or two persons in focus. Each has his or her own story, but all are serious about what they are doing.


(Amber Au)

I always worried that I lacked the skills to take a good pictures when I did the shooting, because I thought these “family portraits” meant so much. Our subject included the shop as well as the people therein, as they have spent so much time with each other. I felt honoured to take pictures of them together. Shooting “Yiu Shing Kee” in Pak Tin Estate was most memorable to me as the shop had to close down soon afterwards. The photo I took became the Yiu family’s keepsake which embodied their memories. I gave the photograph to the old Mrs. Yiu after developing. She was so excited that she even gave me the shop’s tables, menu boards, bowls, plates and a small stone mill! I deeply felt the power of photographs and the perks of being a photographer!
