Where Children Sleep’ [NYTimes] James Mollison wanted to portray children's diverse worlds. What better way to do so than to photograph their bedrooms? "Mr. Mollison’s new book, “Where Children Sleep,” had its origins in a project undertaken for a children’s charity several years ago. As he considered how to represent needy children around the world, he wanted to avoid the common devices: pleading eyes, toothless smiles. When he visualized his own childhood, he realized that his bedroom said a lot about what sort of life he led. So he set out to find others."

It's only a matter of time till this is removed, we're in a special kind of limbo. Say what needs to be said before it's lost to the ether.

Just saw this a few days ago when a friend linked to it from her Facebook account. The bedroom of the four-year-old beauty pageant contestant made me feel ill even before I saw the "bedrooms" of the impoverished children who followed her.
