上海是一座永远让你着迷并产生惊叹的城市。作为一名职业摄影师，我已为上海拍摄了30年，但是每一次按下快门，我的内心依然对这座城市心存感动。特别是当我乘坐直升飞机从天空俯瞰上海、俯瞰世博园时，眼前的壮阔和瑰丽，更让我无比激动。
记得上世纪80年代拍摄浦东时，那里还没有一栋高楼，从直升飞机上眺望，远处还能见到纵横的河流和黄灿灿的油菜花，一派田园风光。90年代初航拍上海时，整个上海已经开始大规模的建设和改造。在浦东陆家嘴已经矗立起上海标志性的建筑东方明珠塔，但在东方明珠塔的周围还是一大片空旷的土地。最近的几次航拍，当我飞到浦东、飞到世博园的上空时，平地拔起的满目高楼和多姿多彩的世博场馆还是让我产生了视觉上的强烈震撼，我可以用“景观爆炸”来形容现场看到的感觉。
为了与大家分享这份感动，我选了一组世博园的照片呈现给读者，同时我想告诉大家，我是一位幸运的摄影师，出生在上海，工作在上海，每一天都在见证这座城市的传奇和辉煌，我和许多上海人一样期待着上海世博会的开幕，我更期待开幕那一天的航拍任务。

For the past 30 years, I have taken aerial photos of many beautiful cities in all kinds of small aircraft. When I look out upon cities from the clouds above. I get a very impressive perspect6ive and I can see cities in transition.
And Shanghai is undoubtedly the most impressive city among them all. When I first took pictures of Lujiazui in Pudong, there were no skyscrapers. When I looked down from a helicopter, I saw open land the was crossed by rivers, fields where rape flowers were blossoming yellow.
In the early 1990s, I took aerial pictures when large-scale renewal and construction was being undertaken. The landmark Oriental Pearl TV and Broadcasting Tower already stood in Lujiazui by then, with empty space surrounding it.
And my latest aerial shooting expedition surprised me again when I saw Lujiazui today. It was filled with skyscrapers-for me it was a scenic explosion.
I have worked in many cities, such as Berlin, Rotterdam and Quebec. Major transitions of such cities usually take around 100 years and require the efforts of three generations.
But I have witnessed and recorded the entire development of a new Shanghai during the past 30 years, since I first started capturing my bird’s –eye views of the city at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
I am fortunate to love in Shanghai as a photographer who loves recording cities in transition. I will continue to record the legends of Shanghai with my camera, and I look forward to an aerial view of the city for the opening of Word Expo 2010 that begins on May I.
