FIND 52PHOTOS2012 HERE!

Welcome to 52Photos, a year in images 2011. 52Photos started in January of 2010 as an effort to capture 2010, one week at a time, through the eye of a camera lens. I've enjoyed the process immensely, and have been thankful for all the amazing feedback I've gotten as a response to my images, stories, and thoughts throughout the year. I'll be continuing with the blog through 2011 with a slightly new look, but still providing 52 images and some thoughts to go along with them. Technical to abstract, social commentary and just plain fun, you'll find a mix of topics, variety of images, and hopefully, something you will enjoy following along. I've had a number of people ask "where can I buy a print??". The answer is an easy one... select images are available by clicking here. Of course you can just send me a message too, I'd love to hear from ya!

Doors

Week 10


Doors
March 12, 2011

Sometimes doors are opened to us when we least expect them, and the trick is deciding whether or not to walk through. This door, located at Mission San Jose, was not open. It was locked. And we would have likely been arrested had we gone through. But this isn't the door I'm talking about....

The type of doors I'm talking about lead to changes in a job, a relationship, or some other significant life event or path. The opportunity, for better or for worse can beckon from the portal, but in the end, we make the decision based on where we feel we are in life at the time, and where we want to be.

Dreams, desires, and even loyalties can impact which doors we choose, and aren't in and of themselves negative things. What we have to be careful of, is that in the end, we are honest with ourselves about what these doors really lead to, and whether or not they align with the priorities in our lives. I suppose that's the tough part.
