在上海

　　Shanghai has always been a city of contrasts；contrasting nationalities （Chinese to French to British），contrasting art and architecture（traditional to colonial to futuristic）．It has been able to retain all of these cultural imprints while striding confidently into the future This is what makes it unique．Jon Burris， a recognized American photographer， presents a view of Shanghai today through his words and pictures．

　　Mr. Burris，a recognized photographer whose work is represented in private and institutional collections internationally， graduated from Southwestern 0klahoma State University in 1973 with a degree in commercial art and art history．It was a photographer for an advertising agency and served as a museum curator before opening his own gallery in Oklahoma City in 198I．Since that time，he has worked with many celebrated photographers and artists world-wide，organizing over ioo exhibitions．
