最近觉得累得像条狗(为什么说到累就想起这个比喻呢?估计是因为狗常吐着个大舌头哈赤哈赤的吧?唉,语文太差,想不出别的比喻了,其实养了狗之后才知道他们根本就不累……)
多半是缺觉缺的,基本每天就睡6个多小时,就连不用早起的早上都不能清静,郁闷阿……今天去银行把downpay做出来给律师送去,又是签字又是说明的折腾了半小时,出来觉得连呼吸都嫌累--更说明了狗吐着舌头大喘根本就不累了,累得人,哪有力气大喘啊??
还有2天就要正式升级为地主了,人人都问我兴奋吧?我倒真不觉得太兴奋,光忙着想各种琐碎的事情了,搬家还有的累呢…………不过,还是很期待的……
晚上还要接着上课,即使是我喜欢的portraiture,一时间也有逃课的冲动,不过还好没逃,这节课好极了,除了重要知识外,复习了一个哲理小故事还看了一段感人的录像~
小故事就是那个捡海星的故事,你不能改变世界,但是你能改变一个海星,找到自己的海星,积极地对待,celebrate what's right~
小录像是这个

里面我最喜欢的一段就是:The Difference between a Good Frame and a Great Frame is Measured in Millimeters not Miles
比如蒲公英,放眼望去普普通通的小蒲公英,换个角度。。。
还有2副金门大桥,已经是非常好非常好的时机,然后15分钟后,谁能想到有更震撼的景色呢?
这个录像很短,只有22分钟,但是看完让我感动不已,老师说他2年前看到这个录像,感觉太棒了,不管是人生的态度还是对待摄影,都非常有共鸣,看了很多遍,每次都有新的感受,这个录像本来并不是给摄影的人看的,但是从摄影的角度看则有双重收获~
不过,实在很贵,22分钟居然卖近700刀!!!!不知道有没有d版的……汗……挺想找一个自己留着多看几遍的
附海星的故事:
There's a story I would like to share with you. It was inspired by the writing of Loren Eiseley. Eiseley was a very special person because he combined the best of two cultures. He was a scientist and a poet. And from those two perspectives he wrote insightfully and beautifully about the world and our role in it.
Once upon a time, there was a wise man, much like Eiseley himself, who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer, he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?" The young man paused, looked up and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."
"I guess I should have asked, Why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?"
"The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die."
"But young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"
The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves. "It made a difference for that one!"
His response surprised the man. He was upset. He didn't know how to reply. So instead, he turned away and walked back to the cottage to begin his writings.
All day long as he wrote, the image of the young man haunted him. He tried to ignore it, but the vision persisted. Finally, late in the afternoon he realized that he the scientist, he the poet, had missed out on the essential nature of the young man's actions. Because he realized that what the young man was doing was choosing not to be an observer in the universe and make a difference. He was embarrased.
That night he went to bed troubled. When the morning came he awoke knowing that he had to do something. So he got up, put on his clothes, went to the beach and found the young man. And with him he spent the rest of the morning throwing starfish into the ocean. You see, what that young man's actions represent is something that is special in each and everyone of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can, like that young man, become aware of that gift, we gain through the strength of our vision the power to shape the future.
And that is your challenge. And that is my challenge. We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our stars wisely and well, I have no question that the 21st century is going to be a wonderful place.
