Push
A detail of the doors on the right end of this block of buildings.
I like a lot of things here – the square wire grid that’s installed behind the regular screen on the door, the instructions to PUSH, the thumbtack with a tiny scrap of paper still attached.
I also like to think about how, when this place was still in business, the sound of the screen door slapping shut punctuated every entry and exit. And how on the first warm spring days, the proprietor left the inside doors open so she could hear birdsong from the trees across the street filtered through that double-layer screen door.

My Like is not only for the composition, range of tones, and subject matter, but also for what you imagined. I hope you continue to shoot and to write about what you see and imagine for a long long time.

No need for a laser triggered buzzer to announce customers when you have a door like this.

True. But I think it’s probably been a few years since this place had a customer. It’s a shame, too, because I thought the door was quite fantastic.
