    Doors of Opportunity

    Door 135

    After taking to the air as a flight attendant I’ve find myself sleeping half the month in a different city. Because of this life style most of my photo opportunities are found while walking the streets in these cities. The doors of opportunity found walking a trail in nature are different than the doors of opportunity walking the streets of a city. When we take the time to look every scene within the city or within nature provides photo opportunities. One subject within the city streets that catches my attention is doors. They’re everywhere, sort of like trees or leaves in nature. When we associate that to life we can see many doors of opportunity. I wonder how often I missed a door of opportunity because I was not truly looking. I feel I’m learning to see more of these doors of opportunity.

    Which Door to Choose

    Back to Richmond again and along that same street as this image. I took this one just minutes after the other door. Again the colors caught my attention. When I go back I need to take a wider lens with me, it’s just going to allow me more options. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

    Red Doors

    I am drawn to doors but in this image it the color red that calls out. I find doors with bright colors calling out my name and when they are tall and narrow, I stop to take some photos. However, the red of the doors, the red striped awning, the red sign in the window and the red lamps are what make this image have its power for me. I like the shadows across the sidewalk and the reflection in the window. When you add the customers in the window it all makes for a cool street scene.
