When Blood turned Green
(A journey into underwater art)
by Tan Haur
The times when an accident acts as a catalyst leading onto a string of discoveries, a breakthrough, best illustrated by the story of the apple falling upon Newton, is a common enough phenomenon. I was the happy benefactor of one such accident. On one of my early diving trips near Phi Phi Island off the coast of Thailand, I cut my palm upon a coral. It was the pain that made me realized that I had sustained a cut, and when I looked at my palm to assess the damage, I was mesmerized to see green blood oozing out from the wound. All divers know that red light does not travel far into water and the greater the depth the more it has been absorbed. Yet the shock that came along with this perception of green blood overwhelmed me. It rocked me, and the pain notwithstanding, I was transcended into a new level of awareness. Suddenly the beauty, color and the magnificence of the submarine environment took on a fresh dimension, it screamed out to me. There and then I was moved to record, translate and share the glories of the underwater world. But how does one do this?

Tan Haur photography. Sapa, Vietnam 2001.
沙霸(SaPa)少數民族
沙霸在旅遊业开发发展后，已逐漸现代商業化。原有的山区少数民族传统与文化正在一点一滴的消失。
是什么因素促成珍贵的人文机制与传统习俗渐失流传呢？
是新科技商品的引进？新思想的介入和冲激？
或是新的市场操作方式影响了传统劳作，以物换物的生活理念？
还是新的城市化建设？更发达的交通网络？
全球同化，也许已吞没了许多人类原始的美丽。
这是一项值得人类慎重探讨的课题。
