Bird Door, 2005

Out walking, I noticed a sign offering free stuff at a house that was being cleaned and painted. By the time I'd seen the sign most of the free stuff was already gone, however the front and screen doors of the house were open in order to air the house from the painting being done inside. It wasn't clear whether the owner or a painting contractor was working inside or if the open door was an invitation to see more of the stuff being offered. A truck in the driveway looked more like what a contractor would bring to a job so I figured that the contractor wouldn't care. If it was the owner I didn't want to be discovered on his porch shooting a photo--I'd have to explain.

Horizonal lines of the siding and the rectangles framing the doors provided a contrast with the decorative scrolling on the screen door topped off with a silvery bird. After shooting a couple of closer shots with the Holga, I backed away to allow the screen door to be seen in its entirety.
