面孔摄影

怀孕5个月了。她坐在椅子上，轻轻抚摸隆起的腹部说，是双胞胎。

这是她老公的摄影工作室。老公出去忙，屋子内只剩下她和一名工作人员。

2000年，她从安徽追随老公来到北京。老公刚开始一个人来到北京，举目无亲，住在地下室，同学陆陆续续来，男男女女7、8人住在一间屋。后来，有人找到了工作，经济状态好了，又陆陆续续走。

他们是校友，艺术设计专业。她说自己很幸运，没有经历过那样的日子。找工作也算顺利，去了一家IT媒体做美编。一年后换了单位。此后8年时间内，她始终在这家媒体做美编。

2003年，非典时，他们在北五环买了房子。当时房价5000多元。

2004年，他们结婚。

2005年，日子波澜不惊。

2006年，老公不愿意上班，计划开摄影工作室。一年多时间，处于亏本状态。她很支持。

2007年，老公的工作室有些起色。现在也不过4个人，她说，和上班挣的差不多。幸好自己上班，稳定。

2008年，忙于经营。计划生孩子。奥运的烟火在屋后的河边绽放。

她每周末到工作室看看。一说话就笑。

She  had been pregnant for five months.Settling herself in a chair,she lightly felt her plump belly and told me she had twins.

This was her husband’s photographic studio.Her husband was out.There were only her and an employee.

In 2000,she came to Beijing along with her husband from Anhui.When her husband first came to Beijing alone,he was a stranger in the city and lived in a basement.Then his friends came one after another and seven or eight women and men lived in a room.Later,they found jobs and weren’t so hard up and left.

They were schoolmates,both majoring in art design.She said she was lucky not to experience those days.She easily found a job as an arts editor the in a IT media.One year later,she went to another company.Ever since,she had been working as in this media firm.

In 2003,when H1N1 flu broke,they bought a house in the fifth ring road of Beijing.At that time,the house price was 5,000 yuan per square meter.

In 2004,they got married.

In 2005,their life was uneventful.

In 2006,her husband quitted his job and started this.Although they had run this for more than a year and lost money in business,she was always supportive.

In 2007,things picked up somehow.Now they were only four workers.She told me they earned almost as much as before.But after all they had their own business and it was stable.

In 2008,they were busy at work.They planed to have a child.They watched fireworks of the Olympics at the back of the house.

Every weekend,she would come here.She liked to smile while talking.

当音乐保持相对稳定的节奏，饱满的情绪会显得轻快有弹性，这使人想跳舞、击掌、脚踩拍子。这就是人们所说的摇摆感。而摇摆是种节奏现象包含一些很简单能定义下来的元素和另一些微妙的、无法定义的成分。

2000年，他未完成学业就跑到北京来。如今在北京的第十个年头也快过去了，周围大多数朋友都已经买房买车、成家立业，他则呆在家里接点私活，攒点钱盘算着下一步要做什么。他称这十年是一个摇摆的过程，而自己还在摇摆。

北京，多年来一直吸引着大批追求艺术的人，这里有着丰富的资源，画展、音乐会、乐队演出、话剧、地下电影……虽然不太喜欢北京，冲着这一点他还是过来了，从事平面设计，几年下来也有一笔可观的收入，日子过得还算潇洒。后来他辞去工作和朋友合伙开了一个高考美术辅导班，结果亏了近一万，他只好又老老实实的回去干自己的老本行。

闲暇却总是和朋友们琢磨着做点什么，他有写剧本、拍过几部短片、拍一些充满自己想法的照片，去年还辞去了视觉企划的工作，和朋友办起了工作室，做起了商业摄影。一开始也做得风风火火的，但受到经济危机的影响，工作室最终也不了了之。他接下来打算开一家以环保简约为概念的家居用品店，但这都是后话了。

在博客上他是这么评价自己的：无政府主义者/怀疑论者/自由份子/活在卑微的内心世界/用图像和记忆生活的人，博客里则有许多风格化的照片，是他多年来摄影爱好的结晶，尤其是他用自己心爱的LC-A lomo拍的一些黑白照片让他倍感自豪，他钟情于胶片的质感，喜欢多重曝光，普通的洗印店一般都不接收这种充满风格的照片，他都是到一家专门做特殊效果的洗印店里去冲洗照片。客厅里两排倚墙式书架上面摆满了书籍和影碟，涉及的面相当之广，历史、政治、艺术、哲学…他感到自己的摇摆，多数原因是由于自己广泛的爱好，喜欢的东西实在是太多了。

去年他与相恋多年的女友结了婚，两人的分分和和算是另一条线上的摇摆，这一步像是要有些什么转变，但生活的节奏谁又知道呢，只能随着节拍不断的摇摆下去。

她和一个女生同住。房租1200元，两人分摊。她们租的是三室两厅，其余两室住着两个女生、一个男生。

她是天津人。刚毕业两年，在西安一所大学修市场营销。毕业后去深圳一家公司的天津分部做市场。男朋友在北京的手机企业做管理。两人经常见面。

她拒绝公司把自己调动到深圳的工作安排，只想和男朋友在一起。于是2008年3月辞职来到北京。在售楼处呆了3个月。这是非常变态的工作，要全身心的投入，以魔鬼训练的方式推销楼盘。有声乐专业的人嗓子坏了。有人每个月赚上万元。有人卖着卖着就跟大款房主跑了。有人离婚了。每天重复上千遍的车轱辘话。经常开会到晚上2～3点。住在郊区。每周一休息一天。周日晚上到男朋友那里已经11点。第二天自己上街逛逛，中午与男友吃饭，下午又要赶到售楼处。

她无可忍受，觉得生活不只是赚钱，辞职了。现在一家IT公司做商务助理。

男友前几个月去了南方，去基层锻炼，要巡店和经销商打交道。他有长久规划，希望在工作上有所成就，才能谈婚论嫁。一谈到买房子，两人意见不合，现在避免谈论这个话题。

经常通电话，视频聊天。但总觉不如见面。

她觉得，没有感情支撑，自己在北京就没有根，是漂泊的。男友曾建议去长沙安家，她倒是觉得，除了房子贵、工资少之外，北京挺好的。想着工作的未来发展，最好能做到产品层面。周末两天呆在家里，上网，看电影，守着网店卖衣服，生意刚起步。

身后的小熊是男友送的。他说打开塑料包装后，等灰落满了就会回来。

She lives with a girl.The monthly rent is 1,200 yuan and they go shares.The apartment has three bedrooms and two living rooms .The other two rooms are occupied by two girls and one boy.

She is from Tianjin.She has graduated from school in Xi’an for two years,majoring in marketing.After she left school,she concentrated on sales in a division of Shenzhen’s company in Tianjin.Her boyfriend was an administer in a cellphone companies.They frequently meet each other.

She rejected the company’s decision to transfer her to Shenzhen since she wanted to stay with her boyfriend.In March of 2008,she resigned and came to Beijing.She worked in the sales office for 3 months.It was a demanding job which required the salesmen to devote to sell buildings heart and soul and the employees were subjected to discipline to sell houses.

The voices of people specializing in vocal music went off.Some earned 10,000 yuan per month.Some repeated the same words day after day.At that time,she often had a meeting till 2 p.m. or 3 p.m..She lived in the suburb.Every week she could rest for only one day.Every Sunday evening she got where her boyfriend lived at around 11 o’clock.The second day she went shopping, had lunch with her boyfriend and rushed to the sales office in the afternoon.She couldn’t bear life like this any more.Money isn’t everything in life,therefore she resigned.Now she is an assistant in an IT company.

Her boyfriend left for the south a few months ago.He went down to do grass-roots work,visiting stores and mixing with dealers.He has long-term plans,hoping to get married after he makes some achievement in work.they are at odds.Now they both avoid this topic.

They often talk over phone and make video online communications,but she would rather talk face-to-face.

In her view，she would be drifting， rootless，in Beijing without the support of love.Her boy friend had advised that they live in Changsha,but she thought Beijing was a good place to stay except that the houses were expensive and her work paid little.As for work,she wanted to do work related to products.At the weekend,she stayed at home surfing the net,watching movies,selling clothes in her online shop which had just started.

The bear behind her was a gift from her boyfriend.He said after it was unpacked,he would be back before it was covered with dust.
