答：展品是从一个包含1600件作品的摄影收藏中挑选出来的，都是名家的代表作。收藏者靳宏伟是曾到美国留学的上海人，后来成了一名成功的商人。现在他已经是一个很专业的摄影收藏家了。随着中国当代艺术藏家的不断发展，我相信将会有许多中国人开始把摄影当作一种成本相对低廉的收藏。作为一种世界语言，摄影的力量将会充实中国中产阶级的生活，他们渐渐觉得，出国旅游和参观博物馆是比炫耀性消费更可取的选择。

问：纪实摄影目前在中国是一种什么状态，感兴趣的人多吗?

A. When I participate in juries of international photography awards, I see an increasing numberof fascinating works coming from Chinese photographers. Last month, I was a jury memberof a Sina.com photography contest, which had the participation of more than 2,000professional photographers. There were more than 24,000 entries. Chinese photographers aregaining more recognition at the annual World Press Photo contest. The younger generation ismoving away from the state-sponsored photographers’ associations that cast a long “formerSoviet shadow. More than 700 million Chinese consumers are turning to the Internet forinformation, and if we look at what people are looking at, most of it is actually photographs.
