Most Prominent Photo Objects of 2015: The Life JacketReading The Pictures

Because of all the year-end “best of” lists, I was half-joking the other day when I tweeted, why not “photo objects of the year”? Scanning innumerable migrant and year end photo galleries, though, the idea actually makes a lot of sense. So, we at Reading the Pictures have two “photo objects of the year” to recognize: the life jacket and the cell phone. In anticipation of our upcoming Reading The Pictures Salon on the migrant crisis (info and registration here), we’ll start with the life vests first.
