Gabriele Galimberti is an Italian photographer who went on an 18 month journey to capture and compile photos of children from all around the world with their most prized possessions- their toys. Through this journey he discovered that children in richer countries were more possessive with their toys and would take a lot longer for them to warm up to him; versus the children from poorer countries were easier to interact with, even if they only had two or three toys. Galimberti also realized the toys were reflective of the world each child was born; which portrayed their economic status and how daily like affected the children by what toys they played with.
This is a very interesting concept that Galimberti took on that I am personally interested in because it is very observation oriented and your not really sure how each kid is going to act. Really hits a note with me because i really like interactions that is like hitting the start button over and seeing what folds out.
