“I have a friend who took all the doors out of his house one summer. It reminds me there’s nothing I have that’s worth hiding, he said. No secrets is the key to world peace. He put them all back on that winter. I decided it was peaceful enough for me, he said.”

why doors?
i love the details. the hardware. the dressing up with the seasons. the possibility of the life behind them. dundas has an abundance of neat looking doors and i plan to photograph as many of them as i can. i will keep them updated throughout the year, as i wander and find more.
I love doors! Growing up, when I would travel and see a cool door I would take a picture of it. Can’t believe I found someone else who is fascinated by them.
I also like doors – and windows. I made a collection and then turned them into ecards here: Windows & Doors Let me know what you think?
you found some intriguing frames for sure! my favourite is the olive door with the circular wrought iron detail. love.
The doors are from all over the world. The olive door with the wrought iron detail is a small half-hidden door to Civic Hall in Leeds, Yorkshire, England.
When an architect puts love into small details like this, I feel like he/she has given us a present that reaffirms that life is worth living – I know that sounds a bit gushy, but it’s how I feel.
