Barbara Peacock is a successful American commercial photographer based in Portland, Oregon. She has recently started a new project where she aims to photograph the hidden and transparent complexities of who Americans are as individuals and a nation through detailed and intimate portraits taken in the bedrooms across the USA.

The people in her photographs come from different backgrounds – some of them are friends of the author, and others are just strangers who she invites to participate in the project in various ways, for example, on social media or by leaving a card with all the information at local shops.

    A bed room that appears to be exactly that - for sleeping.. Although one must judge by only this view - it appears stark with little decorative pop with the wrought iron head borad of simple lines and even the curtains are muted and colors downplayed.

    Couldn't agree more! If it was some sort of boat many people who are judgemental here would be praising, when it most likely would be 3 times smaller (my dad loved sailing, I know how cramped they might get, even helped some architects friends design a space saving house based on my experience with boats)

    The young woman is a distraction to what you are looking at as a "bedroom" - This is a sloppy environment which many might like yet others would find distasteful. It is the essense of making a bed wherever you can find the space with no mind of discarded clothes and towels, remenents or food and drink .

    Having worked in a nursing home, here is my suggestion for those of you who want to hug her and be with her: do exactly that!!! So many of these amazing people either have no family or family that lives far away. They want the company! Being a volunteer or even just going to visit them would honest to god make their day.

    Retirement homes or nursing homes have small bedrooms for their occupants with nurses to attend and aides to help dress, clean and exercise... it is for many the eventuallity.

    I feel like this isn't where she'd want to be. It's not where I'd want to be. I hope this isn't representative. I hope her waking hours are full of visits from her family, making her feel loved.

    When I was growing up it was just me and my mom. Income would only allow for a one bedroom apartment. Often times I would just share the bed with my mom (really not as creepy as it sounds) because there was no where else to sleep. This picture reminds me of that. Looks like a single parent and child making due with what they have to me.

    Yes because absolutely every. single. waking. moment. of a parent's day should be devoted to their children. Don't judge. That little boy is listening to something and the little girl seems perfectly content looking out the window. Nothing wrong with Mom and Dad taking a minute to be on their phones. Maybe they're texting the grandparents about the family gathering. Maybe they're making a grocery list. Maybe its playing a game so they can just enjoy a quiet morning before the day goes nuts. Get off your high horse.

    But they are NOT together as a family! This is what is so wrong about 'families" these days. The parents are distracted and on their phones! The kids look bored and unstimulated, which they probably are! For this to be a good family scenario, there would be no technology - they would be talking, sharing & laughing with each other, or playing games TOGETHER or reading books TOGETHER. So wrong!

    It’s a bit of a sad sight and hopefully not the rule in that household. They seem disconnected, one child already adapted to it and the other seems to still want to be in the outside world. Like I said, hopefully this was just a downtime moment and not the rule.

    It looks like tight spaces for a growing family in probably or hopefully a two bedroom apartment (for the moment) where the family is adjusting to the spaces; and the room the parents chose has a stackable washer and dryer in it.

    I love the way everyone is judging them for not playing with the kids. I guess My childhood was different. We didn't have cell phones, hell we had a black and white television until I was in 3rd grade and my folks were on TV (news). Nobody dotes on their children constantly and not every child wants their parents attention constantly. The fact that there are two parents there is a blessing. If this makes you mad, get off Bored Panda yourself and play with your own kids.

    Just want to get away from the political crud for a bit, can we just enjoy the pics? I remember when my 20 year old was that little girl's age. I miss that pure innocence of little ones.
