comradekamal: I guess the best thing would be to go see the exhibition. It lasts through Apr 6 so there's still plenty of time. Cheers.

Nothing against wooden floors, or contorting faces, just thought it might be nice to see more of the art show that the post was about. No need to bring chld abuse into the context

Sorry, I typed that out as Wee Ling Soh's rebuttal was being posted, it's kind of out of context now. I'm un-photogenic at the best of times.

jesus man, don't get too fired up over a sub-par slide show. I'm the guy in the 6th pic shaking the girls hand. He caught me with my face contorting like an olympic power lifter. For the record I would've much rather seen more hard wood flooring than that pic of me.

Well, I took those photos because I thought it might be cool to see from another perspective the kind of people who came to the opening - their clothes, their footwear, how they were standing, etc. (also without passing judgment on their looks). You must have been physically abused by feet or legs (or both) as a child to have sounded so angsty. Well try crawling around during peak hour subway.

Im sure the artist is great, but the photographer is terrible. Was the photog trying to capture the artistic essence of the floor? And if I wanted to see a bunch of legs I'd crawl around the subway on my hands and knees
