Mixed Bags

Completely unrelated lilac picture.

I have seen a lot of blogposts and whole websites dedicated to handbag or luggage content, but this is the best one so far. Some people seem obsessed with the stuff we carry, as if it holds profound clues to who we are. And perhaps sometimes it does. Minimalists seem to be the most obsessed of all, which is a bit contradictory at first glance, but makes sense if you think about it.

Photographer Jason Travis has a project with portraits of people (and some pets and superheroes) and what they carry, Persona. There are some unexpected and funny displays here.
