And Zhou Hai is telling that story in black and white. Very powerful images of the people really doing the heavy work. The magnitude of a billion people working simultaneously can produce a huge economy at home. I wonder what the Chinese people are going to do with all that material power. We turned our success into a consumers society. Will the Chinese produce a great social environment? Or an imploding empire. As did Europe before WW I and WW II. I'd keep my eye on the work of Zhou Hai to find out. br br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
