Introduction/ Abstract |
《失焦》是卡帕亲历二战的摄影手记，作品 忠实记录了他在战争中经历和感受到的一切。展卷阅读，有时会哑然失笑，而更多的时候，则会让人心情沉重。卡帕深深热爱生命，热爱和平，他厌恶战争，痛恨自 己的职业——眼看着一个个年轻的生命，生死只在一瞬间，任谁也无法承受这种巨大的反差——尤其是当这种事情就发生在自己的身边，甚至随时会发生在自己身上时。然而卡帕却以近乎“冷酷无情”的冷静忠实地记录下这一切，他的文字，他的照片，无一不充分体现出这种冷静，而隐藏在冷静北后的，是用生命才能换取的勇气。作为战地摄影的鼻祖，卡帕有着典型的冒险家的性格，他曾说“战地记者的赌注——他的生命——就在他自己手里……我是个赌徒。” 而他更著名的一句话则是：“如果你的照片拍得不够好，那是因为你离的不够近。”他的摄影作品，没有太多的技巧可言，焦点不够准确，裁切不够精当，色调不 够丰富……但所有这些“缺点”都无法掩盖其作品的伟大性。
In 1942, a dashing young man who liked nothing so much as a heated game of poker, a good bottle of scotch, and the company of a pretty girl hopped a merchant ship to England. He was Robert Capa, the brilliant and daring photojournalist, and Collier’s magazine had put him on assignment to photograph the war raging in Europe. In these pages, Capa recounts his terrifying journey through the darkest battles of World War II and shares his memories of the men and women of the Allied forces who befriended, amused, and captivated him along the way. His photographs are masterpieces — John G. Morris, Magnum Photos’ first executive editor, called Capa “the century’s greatest battlefield photographer” — and his writing is by turns riotously funny and deeply moving. From Sicily to London, Normandy to Algiers, Capa experienced some of the most trying conditions imaginable, yet his compassion and wit shine on every page of this book. Charming and profound, Slightly Out of Focus is a marvelous memoir told in words and pictures by an extraordinary man. |

Personal Book Review |
从中学开始我就对摄影充满了兴趣，也拍摄了很多自认为不错的图片，一切皆源自罗伯特·卡帕的那句名言：“如果你的照片拍得不够好，那是因为你离炮火不够近”。像战士那样去战斗！
I started to enjoy using camera and through myself into photography since my high school. Thanks to the sentence from Robert Capa, “If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” Fight like a fighter! |
