"Stuff"

The next installments on the CIVETS should be up tomorrow, but in the meantime, look at this Chinese photographer's project to take pictures of people and all of their possessions.  The New York Times article's comments pointed out that photographer Peter Menzel did the same thing twenty years ago.....

See some of his pictures from Material World here..  A follow-up book, Hungry Planet, looked at what people eat.  Women in the Material World moved beyond possessions and food to look at women's experiences overall (this is, I believe, a chapter from that book).
