An pilot’s strange obsession for hotel carpets has now found Instagram fame thanks to his daughter.

When a pilot’s daughter tweeted saying that all she wanted for Christmas was for her dad’s Instagram account of hotel carpets to go viral, she didn’t expect it to happen overnight. Hundreds of thousands of people now share Bill’s love of the fascinating, wacky and sometimes ‘challenging’ designs of the hotel carpets he sees around the world (he now has a dedicated following of 426k). This pocket-sized book documents the weird and wonderful patterns we tend to ignore on our travels and is accompanied by the photographer’s tongue-in-cheek commentary.

一名飞行员的女儿在推特上说，圣诞节她**想要的是他爸爸在Instagram上的关于酒店地毯的账号走红。她没想到的是，这个愿望在一夜之间就实现了。现在有几十万人分享Bill对酒店地毯设计的喜爱。这些地毯的设计有趣、古怪，有时候“具有挑战性”，来自世界各地的酒店。现在，他拥有42.6万忠实粉丝。这本袖珍书记录了我们在旅行中往往会忽略的古怪而奇妙的图案，并附有这位摄影师的玩笑式评论。
