Thought you might be interested Thursday: See how the rest of the world lives, organized by income

Anna Rosling Rönnlund, co-founder and board member of the Gapminder Foundation and former User Experience Designer at Google, combines tech, data, sociology, and photography in the Dollar Street project at Gapminder.

Dollar Street combines images and data to show how people at all income levels actually live, to humanize what and who we don't know in ways we can all understand. Photographers take pictures of everyday things―stoves, front doors, front door locks (right), beds, families, toys―to make those we don't know less scary, more accessible.

In effect, Dollar Street shows that we all put our pants on one leg at a time.

So far, "photographers have visited 264 homes in 50 countries (and counting!) to document the and more in households from every income bracket around the world."
