So ................
What is about doors and windows that fascinate many of us? Especially artists and photographers?
Big, small, colorful, antique, new, arched, stained, and paned, it seems that they beg to be opened -- to learn about what might be behind them, what stories they may tell?. History, culture, experiences and tales, lurk behind. Sometimes, doors and windows are full of patterns, textures, and designs -- so much so, that many are art forms, in and of themselves.
There's a message to be contemplated in whether they are open or closed. Do they welcome in the breeze and visitors, or lock out something unknown?
Some are huge and some are intimidating, some are small and just there. But, for many of us, they are so intriguing and fascinating, we just have to perpetuate their image.
Ever notice that children seem to also be fascinated with doors and windows? Especially doors -- "let me see", pulling things out of cabinets; opening, closing, and slamming? Getting into them -- finding a "treasure".
