The Open Door
Lockhart Ranch, Montana
2022
It’s really hard for me (and other photographers too I think) to see sunlight doors opening onto a darkened room and not photograph them–not that there is any reason to avoid the subject. Over the years I’ve probably amassed enough photos of open doors to mount a small exhibition. Heck, it was just a couple of months ago that I posted a similar photo taken in Arizona. The main challenge of exhibiting such a collection of photos would be to somehow make them different enough that they don’t quickly become repetitive.
I like this subject too! In this photo, that extra spot of light in the interior makes it special.
Thanks Kathy. I imagine a rather large number of photographers have a hard time passing up such subjects. The more common the subject the harder it is to do something that isn’t repetitive of your own work and that of others. But it’s a fun challenge to try!
