“Be empty of worrying.
Think of who created thought!
Why do you stay in prison
When the door is so wide open?”

Don’t go in there
Physics Building About 40 years ago I walked through some doors similar to these for a Physics 101 class. I dropped the class the first time and managed a meager “D” on my second attempt. You would have thought that would teach me to look into a field besides engineering, but, no….

Door Handles
Old Door Handles “There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.” – Ernst Haas
These limitations within me are like closed doors. My task is to open them. I think Ernst has some neat quotes.

1215 Harney Street
Two Doors The old part of Omaha has some interesting architecture. I’m always interested in the older building which always seem to last longer than newer construction. These doors are located near Old Market area where you will not have trouble finding a restaurant to satisfy your taste buds.

Bring Your Camera
The Grand Ball Room “Jay Maisel always says to bring your camera, ‘cause it’s tough to take a picture without it. Pursuant to the above aforementioned piece of the rule book, subset three, clause A, paragraph four would be…use the camera. Put it to your eye. You never know. There are lots of reasons, some of them even good, to just leave it on your shoulder or in your bag. Wrong lens. Wrong light. Aaahhh, it’s not that great, what am I gonna do with it anyway? I’ll have to put my coffee down. I’ll just delete it later, why bother? Lots of reasons not to take the dive into the eyepiece and once again try to sort out the world into an effective rectangle. It’s almost always worth it to take a look.”
From the book: “The Moment It Clicks: Photography secrets from one of the world’s top shooters” by Joe McNally

More Doors
Four Blue Doors In 2009 it was estimated that the US had 58,000 storage facilities with approximately 1 in 10 people renting one of these units within these facilities. I’m one of those individuals who rents one of these units, the smallest one I could find. I needed to place the few pieces of furniture and personal items, I own in storage while working in Columbus, Ohio. I glad to say that next week I will be moving into an apartment and will clean out this unit. My sister and I have had a couple of good laughs because I don’t remember what I have in there. Wonder what I’ll find . 🙂
