A lot of years in these steps, a lot of texture and feel to them, but something you might not really notice is that the lady sitting there at her doorway is next to one big step, which is very typical of many old Chinese houses. It actually has a function too, ever have water come flooding under the door into your house when it rained hard? And to think the Chinese came up with this idea thousands of years ago, and over there in americaville they stick a piece of rubber under the door that doesn't work. An interesting detail of engineering if you ask me.

It has so much character, don't really see much of those lately.
I would love to take photographs in China.

This photograph also makes it seem as if one is emerging from the dark into the light, which I agree creates a good atmosphere.
In terms of engineering, of course the Chinese were way ahead of people here in the United States of America. Technology is so powerful now, and instead of using it to our benefit on a worldwide perspective, we choose to creates explosives and the like. It makes no sense, if you ask me.
I love how in each of your photographs, you preserve a moving part of Chinese history and it's tradition buried deep in alleyways and hidden street corners that most people don't get to see, or at least won't open their eyes to.

seems like your get up & go got up & left
SIEMPRE VIVA (live forever) is what I would call this photograph. One should see beyone the stone, beyond the ashes. It is history, it if life, it is continuosity. Time opens to us. The woman will never see it, but the steps, history, the universal continuosity will see the world slip into eternity.
It is a very correct pomposition, very vivid colours, it makes the phoograph almost graphic in nature. I like the dark tones, the balck tones on the sides of it, though I beleive that only one side being dark would have been better, and reinforced the entire idea of mortality vs eternety. Any photoshop at all?
ciao
