Photos of Children Reenacting the Things They See in the News
Children often incorporate things they see in the news and in movies into their playtimes, whether it's soldiers engaged in battle or a superhero saving innocent people. Canadian photographer Jonathan Hobin has a project titled In The Playroom that offers a darker and more troubling look at this truth. The photographs show children at play, except instead of more traditional imaginary ideas, they're reenacting the horrors of things seen in the news -- things like 9/11, Jonestown, and the death of Princess Diana.
