It took a surprisingly long time to get this simple shot. Apparently a lot of cars want to turn right at this intersection. Taken in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. For more doors from all over the world, check out Norm’s Thursday Doors linkup.
The first time I went to Craters of the Moon National Park I was 4, and I earned my Junior Ranger badge. The second time I went to Craters of the Moon National Park I was 19 on a cross-country adventure, and it was the perfect stop between Boise and Yellowstone. Craters of the Moon is…
Between the early-morning shadows, the line of the tubing above the light, and the handle built for lefties, there’s something strangely lovely about this otherwise ordinary door.

Last month I drove across the United States from Oregon to New York with my friend Matt.

You know when you’re out walking around and you see something photo-worthy but don’t have your camera? I did my standard routine of kicking myself and trying to immortalize this door’s location in my memory, and for once, it worked. I came back the next day and got the shot. You’re welcome. Taken in downtown Vancouver,…
Vancouver has a unique feeling of both excitement and relaxation, but every so often it’s also quite strange.
