Take a Break 歇息片刻: VINTAGE CAMERA | 槟城相机博物馆 The Camera Museum Penang

槟城有许多特色博物馆，关于相机收藏就有两间，一是亚洲相机博物馆，二是这篇帖子要介绍的东南亚首创槟城相机博物馆。虽然说一山不能藏二虎，但这两间都各有重点特色，两者都值得付费一探究竟。

槟城相机博物馆座落在百年双层老建筑，珍藏的古董相机为老屋注入了新的生命力，四周弥漫一股怀旧流浪的气息。展览厅重点收藏了从十八世纪开始使用的珍贵相机，我们在小小的空间里跟着时间的进程观看相机的演变，仿佛瞬间回到了年代久远的旧时光，关于童年的菲林相机回忆也蹦了出来。展区摆放部分古董相机供参观者把玩，体验其操作方式与原理；针孔房里的巨大相机内部世界颠倒又迷幻；经典间谍相机收藏则能让我们窥探电影里间谍世界的惊险乐趣。

Recently, Penang has lots of unique theme museum open up. There are 2 museum is based on camera theme which is Asia Camera Museum and another one that we want to introduce to you guys today which is The Camera Museum. There can't be two tigers in one territory, but both were equally good and have their very different selling point. We were willing to visit this 2 museum for sure.

The Camera Museum is located at a double story century old building in Georgetown area. All the antique camera kept in it give this old building a new life. The environment has a nostalgic feel too. They have collected the entire camera starting from 18th century till now. It was like walking in a time tunnel back to ancient time to see how they use those cameras at that moment. It’s also brings back a lot of childhood memories where those film camera was so hit at that time. There also an area in the hall where you can play with the ancient camera. Their staff will teach you how to use it and also the theory behind it. While in the pinhole room, you can experience walking into a huge camera and see everything is upside down inside the camera. Unique collection – The Spy Room brings you to the spy movie such as Mission Impossible or James Bond 007 where all the spy gadget was used. It is so much fun to learn about it and see how small a spy camera can go.

来一趟相机博物馆，看到老照片，看到相机的发展演变，各式各样的镜头使你产生不同的思考和理解，甚至明白为什么你热爱摄影。我拎着相机好长一段时间了，没有想过要当个严肃伟大的摄影师，反倒觉得相机像恋人，借我一只视野只有小方形格子的眼睛，愿意在何时何地陪伴我看任何风景，毫无怨言。我拍照通常会有两个方法，通常是依靠直觉，二话不说按下快门把画面储存下来，要不然就是等待适当的时机，可能是下一秒，或几十分钟几个小时后才出现的心动画面。

因为没有想要摄影师这个头衔，所以常常没有考虑眼前的景象受否值得成为一张影像，也不多想为什么在这个时间点拍下它，更多的是为了满足当下想拥有和霸占这个画面的欲望，心里想着有朝一日这个画面能表达言语无法形容的情绪。相机是记忆的载体，真正的光影剪贴的故事还是留在脑海里，每一张照片，再过几年重新翻阅，会有不同的期待，曾经被静止的时光也会有不同的诠释与生命。

This trip to The Camera Museum makes me realize why I like photography so much. Look at the old photos, the evolution of camera and also different type of lens really inspired me. I never taught that I will be a great photographer one day. For me, it is just like a relationship between us. It is always by my side and capture every moment in my life.

Usually I just have 2 ways to snap photo. One is snap without thinking too much and is based on my instinct. Second way is waiting for the right moment. It may take you second to hours to get a photo that touch me. I just want to capture every moment that is meaningful to me and keep it as my own. Then, look back after a few years later. Each of the photo brings you enjoy memories and joy when you look it alone or share it with your friends and family. This is the real purpose of taking photo.
