Shanghai
World Expo 2010 (2)
In the Lens of A China
Camera History Expert
Youfang
(游方), one
of the most respected experts on the
craft history of the Chinese cameras, is
an accomplished camera collector and a
gifted photographer. The following are
some of the shots of Shanghai Expo taken
by Youfang:

别有洞天
An
opening on a thick wall reveals a new
world at the other side of the barrier.
But if you think that world must be
better than the one you are in, please
take a close look. Do you see a giant
blue face with huge protruding eyes
emerging on the wall opposite which looks
so cold and so gloomy?

上无片瓦,下午寸土,蜗居美人鱼!
While
Australia's mer-not-maid flew to Denmark to live with her prince in palace, Denmark's
mermaid flew to Shanghai only to perch on a stone alone. Some people are
forever luckier than others.

漏花墙
A
lattice wall in a massive scale to keep
you safe while opening up new horizons.

转基因宝宝?
This
little fat devil posing half naked in the
public space seems to be a timely
reminder to the visitors that how rapidly
the Chinese babies from Han
people,
who account for over 90 percent of the
Chinese population, are disappearing, and
how soon China may need to create genetically modified babies (they grow fast
but never up, like this one, so China
will never be short of babies) or
manufacture sythenitc babies from scratch
in laboratories (with patent fees charged
by the American biologists in Maryland).
Since
these babies will not be able to function
as crop seeds, oops, parents, thus
before long all Chinese will be free of
their tomb sweeping duties. If you have
doubts over the outcome of this scenario,
we would advise you to forward your
questions to Chinese GM crop experts at
Huazhong Agricultural University who
were lately found to be out on the Wuhan
streets feeding passers by with their
nicely steamed GM rice, for free. These
extremely charitable souls shall be very
happy to address any of your queries.

谷内乾坤
A
multi-layered space in the Sunny Valley

脚踏实地,
鸟瞰人间。
Watching
human domain below, not from heaven, but
through a glass floor.

球内有球,
天外有天.
When
standing around watching this globe,
spare one minute to comtemplate that we
are also standing on a globe watched by
others standing around.
