    That looks like the door knocker in A Christmas Carol

    BTW, did you know that you got a mention in Joders’ fanfiction? Or at least your little blue pills did.

    Cool, can you hook me up with the addy?

  3. Shawn W Says:

    It does look like it might wake up and growl at you.

    I like the angle, Stevo. Would a full front view have lost the detail?

    Shawn: Maybe. I was trying to be artistic.

  5. Theresa Says:

    I love pictures of doors and little door-related details. They seem to imply opportunity of some sort.

    This made me think of Venice and all the little architectural details with lions there.

    It was not a critique, dear man, just an honest question. I might want to take a decent photo some day.

    Shawn: Critiques are welcome. Full frontal is boring, although yes, the detail would have been better.

    Marianne: There’s lions in Venice? There’s so much I don’t know.

    Theresa: Thanks. I have a thing for open doors…

    You know Stevo, just because of you I decided to buy a camera. I’ll charge you for that someday. :-)
