Dont forget to read about Kashgar in the main entry: Kashgaria

The Doors of Kashgar
although this is not a physical door this is the center of the main mosque of Kashgar (Id Kah Mosque) so it might lead to somewhere...

and this is also not a real door. this is the lobby of our hotel which used to be the Russian Consulate 100 years ago. the lobby has not changed since

Doors and Frames
Doors are an obvious photo subject- they give you the frame-inside-a-frame feel. Always make the photo look like it's leading to somewhere (or make you guess what's behind the closed ones). I liked the traditional Yurt entrance- reminded me of Nepali door-covers (I even bought one for home, you know?). The first door (with the kid) is also a great shot, as well as the open one in the mud wall (doors from nowhere to nowhere). Do you want me to start giving you photography homework? I know I will greatly enjoy it, but I'm not sure you guys will ;-)
