infinite wealth?

Today i read that it is getting really narrow for Dubai. The following image was taken right next to Dubai's main road. Infinite wealth seemed to be a dead end street in february already.





Tomorrow will be a hot day on the ny stock exchange.

PS: you can read a looong story about the dark side of Dubai here Although it pictures Dubai as a living hell it is definitely worth the read.

sonapur, dubai

it has been awhile since i posted here, nearly two months. a clear sign of decay.
however i wanted to tell you that i am back from dubai. i did a documentary series about the labour force and their living conditions there. i slept in one of the camps and i visited another on their day of. the above image was taken at the camp called sonapur, which is one of the largest of its kind in the world.
i will post a link if the story is online somewhere else.

until then

flo.
