Hong Kong’s Small spaces

i’ve been a fan of Michael Wolf’s photography of Hong Kong for a while now. His project of 100 rooms each 100 square feet in size is amazing. Take a look.

      I wonder if Michael Wolf the photographer ever revealed to these people his intention of publishing these photos of 100 private spaces to be sold for money. Knowing how conservative the Chinese are, he probably lied to get his shots.

      I fail to detect any human element in his photographing and displaying of pictures - people’s homes are more like exhibits for him, placed neatly one next to another.

      I’ve seen his other book called back door front door or something like that - a book full of mops and he’s calling it a book on Hong Kong! He seems to really hate the city where he’s making a living.

      I also fail to locate any gratitude or greatness in him as a person or a photographer.
