Red Door

I pass this great red door everyday in my neighborhood.  It has been calling my name for a long, long time.

Time Worn

This terrific old door handle at Continental Bakery has caught my eye for years. I've photographed it over and over and over. I think I "might" be happy with this one, but there's always next time!

Doors From the Past I

I was fortunate to be able to have access to a wonderful treasure trove at The Garage last week. My photography buddy William Nolen and I were given access to an area where Fritz Whaley stores some wonderful architectural pieces. Mind you, it's a mélange of junk right alongside some very special finds. That's what we photographers delight in after all. William and I declared it another "mother lode"! There were so many fabulous old doors ( I thought I'd been transported back to Paris ) that I've decided to embark on yet ANOTHER series. Today the first, with many more to come.

For your viewing pleasure, William has made a little movie of our time spent at The Gargage right here.

View From the Lyric

When Tom and I were prowling around upstairs at the Lyric Theatre several months ago, we found this room and I rather liked the view of the tiled roof across the street paired with the old glass paned door.

This Door Has Closed

The bright and colorful doors have closed. Red Rain was a fixture in downtown Homewood for years. They offered earth friendly, cruelty free products and some nice plants as well. They had a big closing sale with savings up to 70% off so I took a look. I decided I'd better capture this wonderful door, before it closed for good. A sad sign of the times.

Red Door

Barn door? Nope. I found this in one of the main sheds at Sloss Furnaces during the Cast Iron Pour in the spring. I'm including this great old sign that was a reminder for the workers when Sloss was in its heydey. I think the Madonna is a nice touch!

Red Door

These great red doors are found at Space One Eleven, a community arts organization.  The gallery is located in downtown Birmigham on 2nd Avenue North.
