About

The pursuit of doorways to photograph began in 2017 in Chicago but has spread throughout the world as my love of doors expands & multiplies. The doors I present in my books run the gamut from magnificent to mundane.

Doorways have so many meanings and for me, they represent a portal through which one escapes the constant chattering of one's mind to enter a more peaceful place of "being", no thinking, fully conscious & present.

The search for doorways to photograph led me to begin studying about portals into other realms. I realized I had spent much of my life waiting to live and that waiting is a state of mind. I wanted the future and not the present. I wanted what I didn’t have and I didn’t want what I did have. This manifested itself into a huge inner disagreement between my present moments which I thought were not good and future moments which I thought would somehow be better. In essence, I found I was losing the best part of my life which was (and always is) the here and now!
