Five Frames of Doors from Five Places

Door 101, San Angelo

Here is another post dedicated to my brother, David. I hope he hasn’t tired of doors!

If you saw my previous post, Five Frames with a Leica M3 and Portra 400, you might recognize the chair from the frame, “Waiting Room”. This door is from Rusa’s Mexico on Oakes Street in San Angelo, my fair city, Texas.

Watch That First Step, Tuscon

This door is on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson. Watch that first step…

My post, Five Frames from Five More Cities, has a shot of a nice crested saguaro from Sabino Canyon near Tucson.

Wooden Door, Alpine

I love this wooden door. It is missing any hardware to open it, so I’m thinking it’s guarding something…

This photo is from a trip we took to to the far West Texas town of Alpine, Texas. Alpine was the subject of two previous posts, Five Frames from Alpine and Five More Frames from Alpine.

Master Lock, New Orleans

I like this shot because of the shiny lock, rusty handle, and the visible grain in the wooden door. It looks like the Master Lock was installed after the door was forced open. I don’t think it was the Yale lock’s fault.

For more from New Orleans see: Five Frames from New Orleans, Five Frames of Street Photography from New Orleans, and Five Touristy Frames from New Orleans, My post, Five Frames from Five Cites, has a nice shot of the paddles on the riverboat, the Creole Queen. One of my exhibition pictures, Seaborn Bound Upriver, is the subject of Seaborn Selected for the Texas Photographic Society Members Only Show. On the subject of rusty stuff, see: Five Frames of Rusty. I really do like shiny stuff, see: Five Frames of Shiny.

Door 1944, San Francisco

This is on Mason Street in San Francisco. I was following the Powell-Mason cable car line over Nob Hill to turn around near Fisherman’s Wharf.

Door 1944, San Franciso was taken with a Canon 6D wearing the Canon 50mm f/1.8. I was using the 50mm because it was the only lens I owned at the time. Master Lock, New Orleans was taken with the same outfit, but this time I only had the 50mm because I was traveling light. Wooden Door, Alpine and Watch That First Step, Tucson were taken with a Canon 6DII wearing the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8. Door 101, San Angelo was taken with Kodak Portra 400 with a Leica M4 wearing the Zeiss ZM 50mm f/2.0.

All the digital images were processed from RAW files using Darktable. For the Leica shot, the Portra 400 was processed scanned to a .jpg by a commercial laboratory before I tweaked it in Darktable.
