    As Paul commented, both a lovely shot and lots of truth. I love this red door, the brick and the flowers…looks like a place I could live. As to the quote, when much younger I use to race dirt bikes and I learned early on you naturally go where you focus your vision…it’s the same with your mindset and attitude.

    I find quite often that things don’t bother me when I decide not to be bothered. It’s my reaction to things that is the problem, not the things themselves.

    And I caught that new camera reference, you rascal! ;). I’ve got a little something in my shopping cart waiting for the credit card to cycle and hopefully the next sale.

        That’s the one thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on the X-T1. By the time I add the grip and the thumb rest I’m afraid I won’t be any better off than with the 5D. Although there is still a huge difference in size and weight. Those excellent lenses are really small too….

    I can’t say I agree with the quote but man, that red door has zing and I like that you placed it off-centre the way you did. That door in that light really makes a beautiful and welcoming entrance.

      Not sure that’s the greatest discovery but a change of attitude is needed in our world. Like you, this door was captivating for me. And, the touch of light added to it. Thanks, Cedric!
