...What's the response been from your label and fans since you put this letter out? At last check, all the people I work with regularly at the label seemed to think it was a very evenhanded telling of the story. The loudest online reaction tends to be from disagreers - there are a lot of people out there who think labels are Satan's spawn. It's not only a really simplistic view of the world, but it's one that misses major chunks of how the music industry works. Our fans themselves are expressing a lot of gratitude...
...vision in the vein of compatriots and fellow imagemakers Andreas Gursky and Candida Höfer, he has, in his most widely recognized photographs, depicted what he calls the "architecture of density" in Hong Kong, the city he has called home for the past 14 years. Some of this work formed part of his excellent 2005 book Hong Kong: Front Door/Back Door, which focused on the surreal traces of city dwellers in eerily depopulated urban frames. It is a subject to which he now returns in the two-volume, slipcase-bound Hong Kong Inside Outside. (See pictures of Hong Kong...
...Wolf's Inside is not the first book to contain such images. In 2007 Hong Kong photojournalist Vincent Yu published Our Home, Shek Kip Mei 1954-2006 - a work that included a collection of formal portraits of estate residents in their cramped dwellings, albeit in black and white.

...Happy Ending. Her Mary Wilson is an unsatisfied woman who leaves her husband of 16 years and finds new interests in Bobby Darin, Lloyd Bridges, alcohol and suicide attempts. It earned her that second Oscar nomination but no good roles in big pictures. Going where the work was, she exiled herself to TV and the stage. She earned an Emmy in the miniseries North and South and played a more worldly-wise Desirée, singing "Send in the Clowns," in the West End edition of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music. She divorced Brooks in 1977, struggled with...
...final decade she did voice work (for the English-language version of Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle), and just last year she starred as the matriarch of a troubled family in the film Shadows in the Sun, back in her native U.K. In its modest way, this marked the return of Jean Simmons, a prodigious daughter. She had beguiled the British movie world as a teen, rose to one of the higher Hollywood hills in her 20s, then had to settle for being a working actress - still very pretty, but not quite so proud...
