John Thackwray is a filmmaker and photographer from South Africa. He has a book called My Room. It has photographs of 100 people from 55 countries. John photographs young men and women in their rooms with their possessions. Here are two of the people in his book. Andrea is from Bucharest, Romania. Her bed is in the middle of her room, and there are possessions all around her. She has lots of books on the bookcase and next to the bed. She also has a desk with a computer. She’s a student. The scooter is her transportation to college. Sometimes, it’s hot in Bucharest, so she has a fan. Marcello is from La Paz, Bolivia. He’s a musician. There’s a guitar in his room and panpipes— these are a traditional Andean musical instrument. His room is very comfortable. It has pillows and a bed, and a TV in the corner. There are lots of colorful blankets and pillows—it’s usually cold at night in La Paz! John’s photos show how people’s lives are similar and different in other countries. Is your favorite room similar to, or different from, Andrea’s and Marcello’s rooms? Do you have the same possessions?
