As a website publisher, you work in front of a computer screen day after day. You easily lose track of time. You forget to eat. You don't know who exactly is reading through your posts.

They have that same sort of nostalgic feeling to them - the kind that makes you long for simpler times, when an ideal life seemed like it could exist. But look a little closer and you'll notice a darker theme running throughout. His…

Just what does our stuff say about us? Do we secretly stash a pack of cigarettes in our purse, even though we've told everyone we've quit? Do we keep a weathered book in our bag, you know, the one that feels like a sweet security blanket?
Georgia-based photographer Jason Travis (aka J Trav on Flickr) answers those questions and more in his photo series…
