Just had my first photography lesson at St Martin's. There was a line in Susan Sontag's On Photography that inspired me:

Life isn’t about significant details, illuminated with a flash, then fixed forever. Photographs are.


That, and her perfect description of photographs as 'paper phantoms'.

So, The Big Move East happens Saturday. I never again need to take the Northern Line again unless I actually need to. I'm ready to pick up all the unpacked boxes in my flat and move on. I have accumulated a further 12 empty boxes, including 2 x coveted Walkers crisps (Sensations) boxes in preparation for said move, and this I call progress.
