A friend posted this New York Times “Lens” article on a project by photographer James Mollison. He went across the world and photographed children and their bedrooms. The difference in the lives they lead is amazing. The photographs are well composed and striking without saying a single word.
Here’s what the article’s author, Kari MacDonald, said about the piece:
