Some doors are just for fun. It was hokey, but I loved this one for some reason. I’m also fond of who was in the doorway. (Toyakoonsen, Japan, 2024)

The door is classic Mudejar and sits at the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo. (Seville, Spain, 2024)

So many times I’m with others and I shoot a quick photo while we are walking somewhere else. This was one of those times. We were heading out for ice cream, so it was important that we not dawdle over doors. (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2025)

The next time I go to see the Alhambra I have one piece of advice for myself. Go more slowly. I didn’t rush the first time, but I look at my photos and I find something like this door and I know that I didn’t pause long enough to fully appreciate it. (Granada, Spain, 2022)

Wandering in Old San Juan is one of my favorite things to do. The pink against the white just looked classic. (Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, 2010)

We had wandered out of the tourist zone and off onto streets where the locals worked and did business. This door baking in the sunshine was irresistible. (Willemstad, Curaçao, 2023)

I loved wandering through La Boca. This place wasn’t open yet–but the door itself was irresistible. (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2025)

There are moments on a street when the simple doorway of a home or business makes you stop and admire the space. (Segovia, Spain, 2024)
