David Hoffman: How would you feel if you lost everything?

Translator: andrej hrovat Reviewer: Matej Divjak

I had a fire nine days ago.

Pred devetimi dnevi sem imel požar.

My archive:

Moj arhiv:

175 films, my 16-millimeter negative,

175 filmov, moji 16-milimetrski negativi,

all my books, my dad's books, my photographs.

vse moje in očetove knjige,

I'd collected --

ki sem jih zbral --

I was a collector, major, big-time.

Bil sem velik zbiratelj --

It's gone.

vse je izgubljeno.

I just looked at it,

Ko sem vse skupaj pogledal,

and I didn't know what to do.

nisem vedel, kaj naj storim.

I mean, this was --

Mislim, to so bile --

was I my things?

so moje stvari bile jaz?

I always live in the present -- I love the present.

Od nekdaj živim v sedanjosti -- sedanjost ljubim.

I cherish the future.

Prihodnost cenim.

And I was taught some strange thing as a kid,

Kot otroka so me naučili nekaj čudnih stvari,

like, you've got to make something good out of something bad.

kot, slabe stvari spreminjaj v dobre.

You've got to make something good out of something bad.

Iz slabega naredi dobro.

This was bad! Man, I was --

To je bilo grozno. Bil sem --

I cough. I was sick.

Kašljam. Bil sem bolan.

That's my camera lens. The first one --

To so leče moje kamere. Prve --

the one I shot my Bob Dylan film with 35 years ago.

Tiste, s katero sem pred 35 leti posnel film Boba Dylana.

That's my feature film. "King, Murray"

To je moj celovečerec. "Kralj, Murray",

won Cannes Film Festival 1970 --

ki je leta 1970 prejel nagrado filmskega festivala v Cannesu --

the only print I had.

edini izvod, ki sem ga imel.

That's my papers.

To so moji dokumenti.

That was in minutes -- 20 minutes.

Vse to v minutah -- v dvajsetih minutah.

Epiphany hit me. Something hit me.

Razodetje. Nekaj me je zadelo.

"You've got to make something good out of something bad,"

"Slabo spreminjaj v dobro,"

I started to say to my friends, neighbors, my sister.

sem pričel govoriti mojim prijateljem, sosedom, sestri.

By the way, that's "Sputnik." I ran it last year.

Mimogrede, to je "Sputnik", ki sem ga predvajal lani.

"Sputnik" was downtown, the negative. It wasn't touched.

Negativ Sputnika je bil v centru mesta. Ostal je nedotaknjen.

These are some pieces of things I used in my Sputnik feature film,

Tu je nekaj delov stvari, ki sem jih uporabil v filmu Sputnik,

which opens in New York in two weeks

ki se prične predvajati v New Yorku

downtown.

čez dva tedna, v centru.

I called my sister. I called my neighbors. I said, "Come dig."

Poklical sem sestro. Poklical sem sosede. Rekel sem, "pridite kopat."

That's me at my desk.

Tu sem za svojo mizo.

That was a desk took 40-some years to build.

To mizo so delali približno 40 let.

You know -- all the stuff.

Veste -- vse stvari.

That's my daughter, Jean.

To je moja hčerka, Jean.

She came. She's a nurse in San Francisco.

Prišla je. Je medicinska sestra v San Franciscu.

"Dig it up," I said. "Pieces.

"Izkoplji", sem rekel. "Delčke,

I want pieces. Bits and pieces."

hočem delčke. Majhne delčke."

I came up with this idea: a life of bits and pieces,

Na misel mi je prišla ideja: življenje zgrajeno iz malih koščkov,

which I'm just starting to work on -- my next project.

na kateri ravno pričenjam delat -- moj naslednji projekt.

That's my sister. She took care of pictures,

To je moja sestra. Ona je skrbela za fotografije,

because I was a big collector of snapshot photography

saj sem bil velik zbiratelj fotografij,

that I believed said a lot.

za katere sem verjel, da veliko povedo.

And those are some of the pictures that --

In tu je nekaj izmed slik, katere --

something was good about the burnt pictures.

nekaj je bilo dobrega pri ožganih fotografijah.

I didn't know. I looked at that --

Nisem vedel. Gledal sem jih --

I said, "Wow, is that better than the --"

in si rekel, "Uau, so lahko celo boljše kot..."

That's my proposal on Jimmy Doolittle. I made that movie for television.

To je moj predlog za film Jimmy Doolitle. Naredil sem ga za televizijo.

It's the only copy I had. Pieces of it.

Bila je moja edina kopija -- delčki le-tega.

Idea about women.

Ideja o ženskah.

So I started to say, "Hey, man, you are too much!

Zato sem pričel govoriti, " Hej, stari, pretiravaš!

You could cry about this." I really didn't.

Zaradi tega bi lahko jokal." Ampak nisem.

I just instead said,

Namesto tega sem dejal,

"I'm going to make something out of it, and maybe next year ... "

"Nekaj bom naredil iz tega in morda naslednje leto..."

And I appreciate this moment

In cenim ta trenutek,

to come up on this stage with so many people

da sem stopil na ta oder s tolikimi ljudmi,

who've already given me so much solace,

ki so mi dali že tako veliko tolažbe.

and just say to TEDsters:

In vsem TEDerjem pravim;

I'm proud of me. That I take something bad,

ponosen sem nase. Da vzamem nekaj slabega,

I turn it, and I'm going to make something good out of this,

obrnem stvar in iz tega bom naredil nekaj dobrega,

all these pieces.

iz vseh teh delčkov.

That's Arthur Leipzig's original photograph I loved.

To je originalna fotografija Arthurja Leipziga, ki mi je bila pri srcu.

I was a big record collector --

Bil sem velik zbiratelj plošč --

the records didn't make it. Boy, I tell you,

te niso preživele. Fant, vam rečem,

film burns. Film burns.

filmi gorijo, kako gorijo.

I mean, this was 16-millimeter safety film.

Mislim, to je bila 16-milimetrska varnostna kopija filma.

The negatives are gone.

Negativi so uničeni.

That's my father's letter to me, telling me to

To je pismo mojega očeta, ki mi pravi,

marry the woman I first married when I was 20.

naj poročim žensko, s katero sem se prvič poročil, ko sem bil star 20.

That's my daughter and me.

Tu sem s svojo hčerko.

She's still there. She's there this morning, actually.

Še vedno je tam. Pravzaprav je tudi to jutro tam.

That's my house.

To je moja hiša.

My family's living in the Hilton Hotel in Scotts Valley.

Moja družina biva v hotelu Hilton v Scotts Valley.

That's my wife, Heidi,

To je moja žena, Heidi,

who didn't take it as well as I did.

ki stvari ni prenesla tako dobro kot jaz.

My children, Davey and Henry.

Moja otroka, Davey in Henry.

My son, Davey, in the hotel two nights ago.

Moj sin Davey v hotelu pred dvema dnevoma.

So, my message to you folks,

Moje sporočilo vam v teh treh minutah je torej,

from my three minutes, is that I appreciate the chance

da cenim priložnost,

to share this with you. I will be back. I love being at TED.

da lahko to delim z vami. Vrnil se bom. Všeč mi je tu na TEDu.

I came to live it, and I am living it.

To sem prišel živeti in to živim.

That's my view from my window outside of Santa Cruz, in Bonny Doon,

To je moj razgled iz okna zunaj Santa Cruza, v Bonny Doonu,

just 35 miles from here.

samo 56 kilometrov od tu.

Thank you everybody.

Hvala vsem.

(Applause)

Aplavz.
