Voyeurism has evolved. It isn't confined to checking hot spots or cool cafes or the local park. Now people are quite willing to show you stuff voluntarily. How often do you get to look through someone else's pockets and see what they carry. This is an excellent source of ethnographic insight for handset or MP3 manufactures. (It is is just like the idea called Face Your Pockets. Which is a somewhat bizarre one for you and your friends to empty your pockets onto your scanner, hit the scan button. Then e-mail your shot to [email protected] with some personal deets. Check it our here.) This Flickr group called The Items We Carry (242 members to date) was formed for people to display what's in their backpacks or purses. I love the way they displayed and laid out all the items. I'd like to start a group called What's Inside The Drawer In Our Bedroom Closet. Anyone interested?October 2015
