Question

In Chinese we say,"Your handwriting says a lot about you."But in the eyes of South African photographer John Thackwray,someone's bedroom can do just the same thing.

Thackwray,30,first had the idea of taking pictures of people's bedrooms six years ago,because he was curious how young people born in the 1980s and 1990s lived their lives.And he started with his friends' in Paris.

Soon he decided to take this project a little further.Over the past six years,Thackwray has traveled to 55 countries and taken pictures of 1,200 bedrooms—from New York,one of the world's busiest and most developed cities,to Russia,Thailand,Iran and the poor neighborhoods in Nairobi,and cast African countries.

From the layout of the rooms and the little items in them,you can not only see how different people's lifestyles and personalities are,but also get an insight into how unequal the world is and how traditions are replaced by new technology.

Now Thackwray has put all his photos into a book named My Room Project.Each photo in the book comes with the name,age and job of its owner,and they are arranged in the order of his travels.But Thackwray got a lot more from the project than the chance to publish a book.He also saw a lot of things,met a lot of people and had many great experiences.

"I was impressed by the spirituality in India,the friendliness of the Russian people and the craziness of the Japanese lifestyle,"Thackwray told The Huffington Post.
