Civilization of Luggage


"We are reverting to a civilization of luggage, and historians of the future will note how the middle class accreted possessions without taking root in the earth, and may find in this secret of their imaginative poverty."
Howard's End, E.M. Forster (1910)

this image is did not translate well to the digital world. When I scanned it I lost some details that make it difficult to decifer what is being depicted. I took several exposures of houses as my wife and I drove by a little suberb. The houses all blend togther and the few trees in the town became ghosts.
