"Walking in SoHo today I was stopped dead in my tracks by this window.

This photograph was taken by photographer Brian Hodges. It cost $4500 US dollars.

The man in the photograph is not identified by his name nor his ethnic group nor his country.

I, of course, find this fascinating and had some questions.

The sales staff knew that the picture was taken in Papua New Guinea, but nothing else.

Here are my other questions: First, I'm wondering if anyone in PNG knows him?

And I'm wondering if he got paid for sitting for this?

And I'm wondering how much?

And I'm wondering if he knows that this image is something that is being sold to rich NYers?

And, I'm not trying to cause trouble here but I have written about this - the use of images of people from PNG without their knowledge AND the international fixation on particular kinds of images of people from PNG."
