"I believe that more and more, we are defining our environments not as the spaces themselves, in terms of the buildings or architecture, but rather by the objects and devices that we buy and surround ourselves with. ... I would like that message to carry through universally," Seymour said.

I think that this statement is very true. The stuff we buy defines us more than the things we build.
As an aspiring photographer, this makes me want to push myself harder to get pictures like this, to inspire people to it too.
I really want to visit Commodity City to take pictures. It seems like a really fun place to visit and capture photographs, of the life that goes on in there, how people get along, happy and carefree.
If I were a child of one of the people that worked there, I'd be in heaven. It would be literally impossible to reach the end of it.
My favorite picture is the second, where there are possibly hundreds of different kinds of flowers and they're all in different colors. It's really pretty.
