One recent voyeuristic obsession I have had recently is to look through the “What’s in your bag?” flickr pool. Given how much I travel I tend to obsess just a bit with how can I carry everything I need while still traveling light. What does traveling light even mean? So I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled on Jason Travis Persona’s collection which combined two of my favorite things; Hipsters and “What’s in your bag” photos.
I am not sure if I saw this on Gizmodo or Notcot, but to the best of my knowledge here is the best description I could find of the project:
Pictures of what (extremely similar) Atlantans carry around in their bags". Once you get over your wish that the photographer had cast his net a little more broadly, there’s still a lot of interest and wit here. The things these people carry at once offer us a view of people’s public personae and a peek into what remains hidden. There’s a whole gigantic "What’s in your bag?" photo pool on flickr, a reminder that this sort of hiding/sharing/defining is by no means limited to hipsters in Atlanta.
So I if you are at all curious about the insides of peoples bags you should check it out but be sure to have plenty of time on your hands because it can be a real time waster.
