《咔》攝影與文化 2011上半年刊（第三期）正式出版!!
眉目．攝影敍事
《咔》第三期的探討方向是影像的敘事功能，並把題目收窄為關鍵字──「眉目」作為出發點。一段敘事，除了基本原素，如何引伸出故事，或者為故事製造連續性，會有一些提示（hints）。而「眉目」，其實有關影像的本質，像滿佈符號的平面，符號與符號之間，靠讀者去以個人的自身經驗連結詮釋。眉目，就如羅蘭巴特所說的「沒有符碼的訊息」（a message without a code）。
從相片中，我們得到一些已然存在過的証據，然而它們能否表達一件事的全部？由於照片的曖昧特性，延伸出許多不同的敍事方法。於是，我們從身邊搜集值得我們討論的影像，結果，我們有了謝至德從未展出過的泰北山區照片，展露一群被中國歷史遺忘了的族群，於被流放之地如何地生活著；葉七城訪問蘋果動新聞，探討它如何以動畫代替，甚至顛覆了傳統新聞圖像的敘事方法，它如何改變我們閱讀新聞事件；續有李泳麒為我們訪問三位本地及海外的著名紀實攝影師，一窺他們不同的攝影敘事方法及關注；另外，我們找來一所私家偵探社合作，示範同樣利用攝影工作的她們，如何用相片嘗試窺看出軌關係的甚麼眉目；及有小西分析家庭照片如何由一張相片，引起了相片表像以外的多重敘事，從中理解照片敍事的方式及可能。
《咔》亦同時找了鋒芒嶄露的年青導演及編劇麥曦茵，創作文字故事，並與年輕攝影師Andrea Pun的攝影創作並置，合作成另一本圖文短篇小說，與本刊一同發售。

KLACK Photography & Culture
3rd Semi-Annual issue/ 2011 is launched!
Hints - Narrativity in Photography
The theme of this issue of KLACK is “Hints”, which is about the narrative function in photography. For a story, besides the basic elements, there are always some “hints” which gradually reveal the story and create continuity in it. “Hints”, is also a property of photo and image. Image is a flat surface which fills up with symbols. In between the symbols, it relies on readers to link up and interpret different symbols according to their own experiences and thoughts. So, “Hints” here, is like “a message without a code” mentioned by Roland Barthes.
In a photo, we can get evidences which have once been existed in reality. However, can these evidences represent the whole of a story? This ambiguity in photography extends into different forms of narration. Thus, we decided to research and collect on images that worth discussion, in result of having Ducky Tse’s photo essay of the border regions between Northern Thailand and the rural areas in Burma, showing the life of the group of Chinese that are forgotten in Chinese History; Ellis Yip in this issue interviewed the Animated News of Hong Kong Appledaily, and explores its drastic influence on the narration of traditional journalism, changing our way of reading press images and news reporting; Lee Wing-ki continues to interview for us three renowned documentary photographers in Hong Kong and overseas, trying to have a glance on the different method and focus of their photo narratives; besides, we have seek collaboration with a local private detective office, whom also utilises images as their main tool, showcasing the way of how they interpret their photo report on an extramarital affair; also, Damian Cheng in this issue analyzes about how family photos as a photo medium, bring out different layers of narrativity that are away from the surface of the photo, from there we learn about the method and possibility of narration of photography.
KLACK has also seek the collaboration with the emerging young film director and screenplay writer Heiward Mak Hei-yan to create a text story, with the input of young photographer Andrea Pun, to create a short photo story book, along with the main book of KLACK #003.
