"If I had known how much work was involved, perhaps I never would have started.” Belgian photographer Barbara Iweins is thinking about the decision she made six years ago to photograph every object she owned. The project took four years and 12,795 photos later, her task was complete. Now her work is on show at the Cortona on the Move photography festival in Tuscany.

    That's great, thank you!
    Feel bad for the one family with 12x2L bottles of soda a week, but the honesty and getting a peek into other cultures is fascinating.

      By some measures, Mexico has the highest per capita consumption of soda in the world. Some of this has to do with Coca-Cola owning the water supply.
