Photographer Captures People And Their Bedrooms To Show Their Different Ways Of Living (22 New Pics)
The bedroom is probably the most personal and intimate space where one can be the truest version of oneself. It is a place to relax from the outside world, the spot where we start and end the day. Maybe that's why it's also so intriguing to have a glimpse of other people's bedrooms. It's like getting to know their real personalities in a way.
Being interested and passionate about "poetic resonance of ordinary subjects", photographer Barbara Peacock travels the USA to take intimate and anthropological pictures of average Americans in their bedrooms. These photographs are part of a project called "American Bedroom" that shows the many different living conditions and lifestyles that make up the American experience. After taking a look at these candid photographs, we invite you to check out Barbara's older photos that we previously shared here.

"Everything is gone. My mom keeps saying: "keep the faith Faith.""
South Oroville, California
The Belfon Family
"Burning the tatter tots, cleaning up messes and getting the kids to school late is just part of life. Blending this big family is the hardest thing I have ever been a part of but the love and support has become the greatest gift and teacher, not just for me but for all of us."
Denver, Colorado.
Tuesday, Age 23
"It is in my life-threatening health that I have come into myself. I have already done more living than I ever imagined, way more than I was ever promised. The days when I feel the most pain can easily be filled with laughter and joy because my pleasures have been earned."
Lula, Age 97
"I like people, all people. If you are good, I will know."

Harry And Alan
"After 27 years together and 4 years of marriage, our closeness has elevated to a point that being together is a total of one, as in one plus one equals one."
Abagail, Age 4

Beaver Crossing, Nebraska
"With the world moving ever so fast, these apples of my eye remind me to slow down, see the beauty in all things. They are the light."
Camille, Age 32 And Ashley, Age 31
Camille: "People have this idea that dreams are for the young, but my biggest dreams have only begun to come true now, in my third decade. It’s as though I finally gave myself permission to chase everything unabashedly, from what I believe family looks like to the sounds I want to share with the world. The world is opening up to me more every day."
Ashley: "If you told me 5 years ago that I would be a touring musician, married to my amazing and beautiful wife, and living happily in Portland, I would have cried tears of happiness. Never give up the fight for your version of happiness in this life. You won’t know the treasures that lie ahead until you’re there living them. With our powers combined, we can do anything."
Jeanine, Age 64
"Life is good. Paradise will rise from the ashes and I will be part of that."

"Right now I am the age that my brother was when he died. My space is full of reminders of love...love that is present, love that is changed and love that I’m hopeful for. I wish I could tell you about every object in this room because each one is significant, especially the tribute to him on the shelf behind me."
Andrew, Age 31
"Since I left traditional society I have never been happier. I just live one day at a time and don’t worry about punching a time clock 9-5."
Tom, Age 86
"I have lived in the Carnival all my life and I have loved it. I wouldn’t change a thing except that I’m going blind making it difficult to bring up my 13-year-old daughter."
Gibsonton, Florida
Cody, Age 27
