對阮義忠來說當一個攝影師拿著快門進行創作時最多也就是百分五十的創作者而剩下的一半需要天時地利人和的配合因此每次按快門都需要全心全意的投入。他用相機進行創作超過四十年也把即將失落的傳統農業社會的美麗記錄了下來。他的攝影哲學是什麼又發生了什麼有趣的故事其中的深刻韻味值得讓人再三品味和思考。

Juan I Jong sincerely believes that when a photographer snaps a photo, only half of the credit should be given to the artist for his or her creativity; The rest of the half, to him, depends on pure luck. So every time he presses the shutter button, he puts his whole heart and soul in hopes of capturing the perfect moment. With more than four decades as a photographer, he has vividly recorded the essense of the past, the traditionally agriculturallybased society. In this eyecatching talk, Juan shares some of the interesting stories behind how these photos came to life.
