By the end of the backpacking trip, certain things could be clearly discerned by the state of one's pack while at rest.
pack of Bo: working mother of 7, practising OB-GYN in Los Angeles
Note: all contents are compartmentalised, as in rooms of a house - the kitchen area with water bottle and sierra cup; the bathroom with poop shovel; the laundry room with wet things hanging up neatly
Pack of Taryn: somewhat organised, pretty good actually, for a a 17 year old aspiring solid gold dancer, future share-holder/franchise owner of In & Out Burgers
Pack of beni: vegetarian; alien dancer; newbie backpacker; family physician with interest in serving the under-served, both in San Francisco and Rhode Island
Note: backpacker first aid kit handy, unfortunately still lacking x-ray machine
Following is a photo essay/personality study by beni M.D.: 
pack of Bo: working mother of 7, practising OB-GYN in Los AngelesNote: all contents are compartmentalised, as in rooms of a house - the kitchen area with water bottle and sierra cup; the bathroom with poop shovel; the laundry room with wet things hanging up neatly
Pack of Taryn: somewhat organised, pretty good actually, for a a 17 year old aspiring solid gold dancer, future share-holder/franchise owner of In & Out BurgersPack of Sammy: 14 year old acrobat/gymnast/wilder-clown. Shows low level of chaos, and good organisation. Clown shoes and squirting nose out of frame.
Pack of Jill: administrator of medical residency programme. Motehr figure. Nature lover. DEMOCRAT!
Note: highly organised individual. All contents neatly stowed in their rightful place to prevent falls or accidents.
Pack of Eric/Woody: astronomy TA cum engineer cum biodiesel entrepreneur cum green house builder. Music lyric savant.
Note: high level of organisation, everything is spread out neatly for instant retrieval if necessary. Guitar present, but no amp.
Pack of beni: vegetarian; alien dancer; newbie backpacker; family physician with interest in serving the under-served, both in San Francisco and Rhode IslandNote: backpacker first aid kit handy, unfortunately still lacking x-ray machine
Pack of Tara: forester cum negotiator/facilitator cum international volunteer cum vagabond cum global citizen cum writer cum homeless van driver. Note: bonafide pack explosion indicating that all ideas are worth tossing out for examination among the duff. Compression sack at hand for compressing and combining items in random order. Dirty laundry being aired in frame (red, with frills).

I laughed over this one. Who knew one could gather so much insight into someone's life by their backpack? Probably a good thing you can't see mine. ;) Good job Beni!
