The photograph was made by Peter Menzel and patterned after his 1994 book, Material World: A Global Family Portrait. Family members are (left to right: Feriye, 28 (wife of Sezgi, mother of Hasan, 8, and Saliç, 11). She is daughter-in-law to the extended family in the house). In front of her is Hasan (8, son of Feriye and Sezgi); next to her is her husband Sezgi Çinar, 30; Sezgi’s father Hasan, 60, (married to Safiye, 55); and Safiye next; then Saliç, 11. Safiye’s parents can be seen in the second floor window above the storage room. Emine, 78, (left) and Mehmet, 81, (right). The Çinar family lives in a small duplex on a steep hill in the downtown part of Istanbul’s Golden Horn area. The family lives on the European side of the Golden Horn. There are two areas—the European side and Asian side]. Muslim, Islam, Religion. {{The extended family sold its tractor and some fields in their Anatolian village, in the western plateau lands of Turkey, to buy their house in the city. Sezgi and Feriye and their children live downstairs in two small rooms and a small kitchen, and the two older couples live upstairs in two larger rooms along with one unemployed adult son. Although he is old enough to retire, Sezgi’s father, Hasan, works in the cafeteria kitchen of a ship building company where he used to build ships. Sezgi works for a machine-made carpet manufacturer. The medium-quality carpets are exported mainly to Belgium and Germany. The chief in Sezgi’s area of the factory says, “My salary is very low; I don’t know how they [the men] live on their salary.”}} {{Sezgi’s unmarried and jobless brother, Abdulkadir, 20, lives in the upper house with his parents. He is not in the Big Picture, though two cousins who helped move the family out for the big picture are seated on the couch in the side yard in some of the pictures.}}

Usa.mw2.18.120.xsThe Cavin Family with all of their material possessions, except for more boxes of books stored in the garage, American Canyon, California. Craig Cavin, 38, and Regan Ronayne, 42, and their two children, Andrea, 5, and Ryan 3, live in a multi-cultural bedroom community called American Canyon, California, about one hour north of San Francisco. The photograph was made by Peter Menzel and patterned after his 1994 book, Material World: A Global Family Portrait. {{Until 1995, the Cavin’s were living in San Diego, California, where they met while in school at the University of California, San Diego. Since then, they have lived in American Canyon. Regan (pronounced with a long “e”) Ronayne works a part-time schedule as a college counselor at UC Berkeley, California, and Craig is a drama and history high school teacher in a school district north of American Canyon. Their two children attend a daycare center on the days that Regan works. Both parents have a substantial commute from their single-family home in American Canyon, California. They share childcare, but Regan is the main caregiver; she worked half time after Ryan was born and only recently has returned to working 4 days a week. Craig’s position as drama teacher keeps him at work late at night during play rehearsals and performances; it’s not unusual for him to get home after 9 p.m. although his day starts before 8 a.m.}} {{Do the Cavins have a most treasured possession? Craig would choose his large collection of books that threatens to overwhelm the house. Regan chooses the family photo album. A small army of McDonald’s Happy Meal toys inhabits a corner of the kitchen. There’s a wooden swing and climbing set. The family has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room/living room combination, a study and a garage. The Cavins are considering putting a second story on their house, which at 1100 square feet is bursting at the seams.}}
