September 2010 photography assignment - Doors

[asnow]

Interestingly I was thinking of going to Dundurn Castle yesterday, thought that there might be some interesting old doors there. Looks like somebody else had the same idea. However, I opted for the Toronto Pioneer Village instead and got a picture of this door. I believe it was to a cellar cold storage.

Another door, this time with a reflection of one of my favorite photographers; happy shooting, Greg!

Here's a couple more doors from Pioneer Village.

But by far the most interesting door leads to "The People's Lunch". I was quite intrigued by it's simplicity. I was even more intrigued by the rest of the building ... the 'dumpster deli' and the gal in the window ...

This is great! I love back alleys for their quirky charm!

Looks Deceive. These doors belong to the old court house which was torn down, but the distinctive doors were placed outside the new court house, complete with lighting. I was sure the other Calgarians roaming the downtown would capture these first. LOL. Mike





And a night time exposure:

Love those old Court house doors! They look so massive as art! Glad they saved them.

The front door of Sir Harry Oaks mansion, now part of the offices of the Niagara Parks Board

one of the many heavy oak door entrances at the Mount Carmel Religious Centre

Wow Ed, love those old antique doors! So rich and full of texture!

Another back-alley image; hard to get the artist better lit in the bright sunshine. Tried different metering, but it blew all the outside stuff out ...

Great find anyway!

One more Calgary Door. We all know what happened to EATON's ...

Another Canadian institution bit the dust.

cheers Marko and here's another, caught this out of the corner of my eye this morning as I passed the Via Rail Station down town.

That is way cool, Ed! You are really finding some awesome doors!

Door to the Afterlife:

Great one, casil! Love those old mausoleums. They remind me of Louisiana and voodoo and vampires and all that good stuff!

Let this be my first for the month.

Yisehaq, I love that door! I want to go in and see if anyone is home because I am sure they are nice people.

Interesting doors everybody...Here is my first one. Next time I will try using a polarizing filter...

Very cool door, light50. Love those huge columns.

shot this yesterday on my early morning shoot

Is that Dundurn Castle Light50?

Another interesting door, Ed!

Yes, that establishment has several interesting doors. Here is another one

Great colours on that door.!

Keepin the faith. Another Lensbaby 2.0 capture

What can I say? another odd and wonderful capture, jimmy!

I happened upon this old door and in my mind's eye I saw a cross. I was reminded of the church and all it's recent disturbing revelations ! Thus the title - jimmy

jimmy, I totally see the cross. What a rough hewn door.

Do you believe in ghosts? Sit back from your screen and look for the eyes, they are just beyond the crypt door!!

I can see eyes! *Checks the window for monsters*

Did a nice tour of downtown Calgary today, in the company of two well known local photographers ... spied another door:

Oh, and we inadvertantly stepped on the door that provides an entrance to the bowels of Calgary

Ha! Ha! I watched you photograph those bare butts and did not know what you would get exactly. Very cool.

Love those decorative manhole covers too!

At the crypt door. Knock before entering ! !! !!!

Lol, I ain't a fraid of no ghosts! Wonderful work, jimmy!

good eye Matt - nicely done

That is a cool door! Really an old pioneer life kind of feel to it.

Ha! Ha! You can't get away with anything around Matt!

Here's a couple more doors from Pioneer Village.

Very cool captures as well, asnow!
