Four more trucks from my collection. The photographs are intentionally plain, repetitive, and devoid of drama or artistry. I’m using my camera more like a butterfly net than an artistic tool. 我收藏中的四輛卡車。這些照片刻意平淡、重複,沒有戲劇性或藝術性。我用相機更像是在捕捉,而不是創作。

          "alt": "This image is a collage of four photographs arranged in a 2x2 grid, each showing a different small blue truck parked on a city street in Taiwan. These vehicles, often called “moneymaker trucks,” are common throughout Taiwanese cities and towns. They are compact, flatbed or box-style utility trucks used by small businesses for delivery, hauling goods, or mobile services. Each truck is photographed in profile, clearly displaying the side of the vehicle.\n\t•\tTop left: The truck is a box type, with promotional graphics for a food or dairy product printed on the side. It is parked on a wet street near a modern building with polished stone and glass. The truck is very clean and the design is polished, suggesting it might belong to a food delivery business.\n\t•\tTop right: This is a flatbed truck, with traditional Chinese characters painted directly onto the side panel. It’s parked in front of an older, more cluttered building facade with various materials stacked inside. The scene feels raw and utilitarian, reflecting a local hardware or construction supply business.\n\t•\tBottom left: Another flatbed truck with a canvas-covered bed. The canvas is wet and stained from rain, slightly sagging. The truck is parked at the corner of a small street, just beside a shop entrance with visible hanging signage. The truck has a weathered, workhorse look — worn but still running.\n\t•\tBottom right: This box truck has been tagged with graffiti in thick, stylized letters. It’s parked in front of a tiled building with closed shutters. The graffiti creates a striking contrast with the otherwise functional appearance of the truck. The scene has a gritty, urban feel, suggesting how these trucks become part of the evolving visual landscape of the city.\n\nThe lighting in all four photos is diffused, likely taken on a rainy or overcast day. The surfaces of the trucks and roads are wet, enhancing the colors and textures. The photographs are intentionally plain and objective, echoing Ed Ruscha’s conceptual approach — more documentary than artistic. The trucks are not posed or dramatically lit; they are simply there, part of the city’s fabric.\n\n這是一張由四張照片組成的拼貼圖,排列成 2x2 的方格,每張照片都拍攝了一輛停在台灣城市街道上的藍色小卡車。這些被稱為「搖錢樹卡車」的小型工作車,在台灣街頭隨處可見,通常由小型企業用來送貨、載貨或提供行動服務。每輛卡車都以側面展示,清楚地呈現車身細節。\n\t•\t左上角: 這是一輛箱型卡車,車側印有食品或乳製品的廣告圖樣。它停在一條濕滑的街道旁,背景是一棟現代化的建築,外牆為拋光石材與玻璃。車輛整潔,圖案設計完整,可能隸屬於食品配送公司。\n\t•\t右上角: 平板卡車,側邊手繪了白色的中文公司名稱。它停在一棟老舊的建築前,建築內部堆滿了各種材料,感覺像是五金或建材行。畫面充滿生活感,實用性高。\n\t•\t左下角: 另一輛平板卡車,後車廂以帆布覆蓋。帆布因為下雨而濕透,出現水漬與皺褶。卡車停在街角,旁邊是一間商店,店門口有懸掛的紅色招牌。這輛車外觀老舊,但仍然可用,顯示出它的日常使用痕跡。\n\t•\t右下角: 這是一輛箱型卡車,側面被塗鴉覆蓋,使用粗大、風格化的字母書寫。卡車停在一棟磁磚外牆的建築前,店門關閉。塗鴉與卡車的實用外觀形成鮮明對比,呈現一種城市的粗獷與隨機性。\n\n所有照片的光線柔和,顯示為陰天或下雨時拍攝。地面與車身皆被雨水浸濕,強化了顏色與質感。這組照片刻意保持客觀與簡樸,不強調美感,而是如同 Ed Ruscha 的觀念攝影方式——更像是城市文件紀錄,而非藝術創作。卡車不被美化或特寫,只是如實地出現在城市生活中。",
