Person to person, wouldn’t it be interesting to see if everyone did this what the spectrum of “achievement” would include?
Of all the images that have ever been made, would you be able to select just 100 to represent our species and human achievement? Trevor Paglen’s Last Pictures is a project to do not only that, but also launch those images into geosynchronous orbit around Earth – all so that long after humans are gone, any space-wanderer will be able to fathom what humanity was all about.

Whether it’s a gossip rag feature or day-in-the-life research, I’ve always been fascinated when allowed to explore the treasures a person holds nearest and dearest in the depths of their bags. Is there a quicker way to see a picture of a person’s daily life than to scope a satchel? I don’t think so.
So imagine my excitement when I came across an entire Flickr group devoted to those who want to share (or for those who want to look). Relish how beautifully diverse and curious people can be at the What’s In Your Bag group.

“A good book is an education of the heart. It enlarges your sense of human possibility, of what human nature is, of what happens in the world. It’s a creator of inwardness.”
