Nice! I love old wood and metal...
It is the little details that make a picture like this. The doorknob plate is fastened with two different nails and an oversized screw. There should be a plate around the keyhole but that's missing. This was not done by a craftsman. It looks like something I would do. Well, maybe not that bad.
I love how the knob is all cattywumpus. You know that it jiggles and dances around in that door.
Hi Gena, I love your photography... AND--I love learning about South Africa. The Johannesburg area is beautiful... I've enjoyed checking out many of your photos. Thanks!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
A door with a lot of character! Wonderful!
I love antique shops
Nice textures.
Gorgeous...and charming! Beautiful entry!
As Tulsa Gentleman noticed, I also was drawn to the unprofessional look of this door fitting! The uncentred door knob, the well worn pane, and the different nails and lack of keyhole plate. Yet, it likely worked just fine for the handyman who made it.
This is my first visit to your blog. Very, very nice. I like this doorknob, the way it's easier to turn than a round one. The portrait below of the angelic boy is just wonderful. Great work!
the knob is pretty interesting too.
Oh - that is my kind of photo!!
Your photograph reminds me of my son and his appreciation of subjects that may not be obvious to other people with a camera - simple yet stunningly beautiful in their own right.
Hi Jen,
Yes I like to work from the perspective of there's beauty everywhere, just look for it .. .takes a bit of training, but so worth it!!
