To loose the memory of the take

Winogrand almost never developed his film immediately. He said he deliberately waited a year or two in order to lose the memory of the take.

Why my desktop is never tidy

"My problem with classifications is that they don’t last; hardly have I finished putting things into an order before that order is obsolete. Like everyone else, I presume, I am sometimes seized by a mania for arranging things. The sheer number of the things needing to be arranged and the near-impossibility of distributing them according to any truly satisfactory criteria means that I never finally manage it, that the arrangements I end up with are temporary and vague, and hardly any more effective that the original anarchy"
