Characters
Shanghai, China September 2007


I remember in school we were taught a smidgen of Chinese and told that many of the characters had referents in the real world, that they were simplified drawings. I thought it interesting how this man's stance echos the Chinese character behind him.

I wonder what that character means because the man certainly does echo it. Good eye!
