今天我们一起去上海美术馆看了“曼•雷与大师们：世界摄影流派作品展”，其实在韩国的时候，刚好在Seoul Art Center也看过，还买了一本韩文版的册子。其实摄影展的英文名称是“Man Ray & World History of Photography Exhibition”，事实上个人以为百十幅照片想说明白World History of Photography有点托大了，毕竟这些都是某个日本人的馆藏而已，有名家缺少代表作，例如Robert Capa的“一个战士的倒下”和“诺曼底登陆”这种代表作就没有。
总体来说，如此高规格的摄影展国内还是不多，尤其是许多照片都有摄影师本人的签名，应该都是本人放大的，因此照片价值很高，也非常值得一看。
其余两张在徐家汇随拍。

MS Tech-Ed China was hold in Sheshan La Meridien hotel in the end of this week. This year(Tech-Ed 2004) I don’t have session, so brought mountain bicycle to there because Sheshan is the only Shanghai’s so-called ‘hill’ highland with a 400 years old church atop. looks like a castle. Other famous points over there are Shanghai Astronomical Observatory and most expensive villa garden in China. The most high-priced one was at 15M USD.
Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, the photos I took with a Panasonia pocket DC. Most of them are over-contrasted.
Hooo see the luxury villa garden. To afford one, I might have to work & live 50 times.Also look at the below, a old female begger was sit on steps in front of the church. Does she know there is the most expensive houses in front sight?
Even Sheshan was called ‘She hill’, but not so high. Cyciling to the top is easy from West Gate. Toll fee is 30 RMB, badly too much. In raining day the descent down the hill is small danger, speed could rise over 30kmh easily. I used narrow road tyre instead of broad mountain tyre yesterday, therefore had to grasp brake all the time.
Actually the hill has a regular name - Sheshan National Forest Park. Sounds good. Green bamboo & unkown flowers at sides of byway in sunset light. Beautiful scene made me feel country smell.
Another known hill nearby is Tianma Shan. Former Shanghai Racing autodrome was there. By the way, I also ride to there and was afriad of byre brust in most time because lots of edgy gravel & glass straggled on The contry lane.Finally I got in a small picturesque village. Typical view of south of Yangze River, pinnock, creek & farmhouse, fresh air as well.
