    北极圈以南 - [闲情偶寄]

    连着在外面蹦了三天,今天终于累了。睡到中午才起床,打开电脑,一封邮件不由得让我深呼吸一把。

    Dear Magnum Workshop Oslo applicant,

    Magnum Photos is delighted to offer you a place in Alex Webb's workshop. As these workshops were all over-subscribed and we have very long wait lists for each class, please let me know immediately if you do not plan to accept this spot so we may offer it to another student. If you will be attending, please complete payment no later than February 4th. To do so, please visit thePayment Page.

    Once your payment has been received, you will recieve more class information so you can begin to prepare for your week here in Oslo. Magnum has a block of rooms at a great small hotel located directly across the street from the evening event locale: Cochs Pensjonat

    We look forward to seeing you in Oslo!

    All Best,

    Laara Matsen

    半个月前,在莱卡中文站上得知玛格南大师班的消息,当时被托福考试整得晕头转向,想着要是去不了纽约凑合着试试这个吧,反正作品集和个人陈述从申请学校的材料里挑点出来就是,关键是没有申请费。报完名我没有告诉朋友们,心想万一不被录取的话让人笑话不自量力。杭州之行期间,黄耶鲁也曾提议我去参加,当时寒暄着说:“大师班那!”

    挪威首都——奥斯陆,我妈问起我这地方在哪里,我说:离北极圈也不远了。这几天在上海拍了好些雪景的照片,没想到三月又要去冰天雪地里拍照了,玛格南大师班@Oslo最年轻的讲师——Jonas Bendiksen已经在课前的Preview里教导大家“The worse the weather, the better the picture”。

    三月,独自旅行,没有哈佛耶鲁一起了,但愿我不会把自己弄丢了。
