Revelations
A photography is a secret about a secret.The more it tells you the less you know.
Yesterday I went to the 'Diane Arbus: Revelations' exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum (which reminded me of some old auntie's attic of junk)(ouch, that was a bit impolite, it is actually one of the finest museums in London), and it was fabulous! The photos in the exhibition were great, and the exhibition itself was well laid-out, with three areas they called libraries, which had personal effects such as cameras, notebooks and books, which gave an extra layer of depth to the exhibition. I had a great time and I can heartily recommend it to anyone. Hurry up if you want to go, it closes on Jan 15th 2006.

Hey Suzy, I have been following your blog for sometime and its been insightful as well as entertaining! I just got my acceptance for LBS! so it looks like I will be in London this coming Fall. Since I haven't had a chance to visit the school, can you describe the facilities and overall "feel" to the school? I am trying to visit the school for myself but I am afraid it won't happen anytime soon.
Thanks and Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
Moe: congrats on the admit! I guess xmas came early for you this year!!!
If you want to get a feel for the school, have a look at the official website and the student-videos on there, they give a feel for the school. Other sources are the blogs of my fellow LBS'ers (see the sidebar in the blog). What people have commented on when they come here is that the campus is nice and compact, location can't be beaten (in Regent's Park, in the centre of London), and there's wireless everywhere. You must remember though, that LBS doesn't have a big endowment, so it might not be as high tech as some of the US schools, but I can't really compare since I've not been.
Hey Suzy,
Great to see you in your best spirits! :-) Merry Christmas & Wonderul New Year!
Simba :-)
