Hi Matthew,
Thank you for your e-mail and interest on my Shanghai photographs. Yes, you may use any of the Shanghai photographs from my site. You can link to the images or you can download them onto your server. They were taken in 1994 so you can compare your recent photos with these and see what had been changed on the Bund. I was in Shanghai last summer for 4 weeks and re-photographed many of the buildings with a digital camera and a "shift" lens (to preserve the proper perspectives on the buildings) and I am in the process of adding these photos to my site.
I also photographed other colonial-era western architecture in Tianjin, Qingdao, Macau and Hong Kong and will be adding them to the site as well so check back later this summer for the new images.
Best,
Paul Leeh
