 Enter into Doors of Prague... While I was traveling in Prague in July of 2009, there were a few things which caught my eye: the incredible architecture, the vintage trams, the river bank. But as I was walking around the city, I noticed how amazing and unique the entrances to public and private buildings were. So I started photographing these doors. I realized at the time that I would make it a photo series. Heretofore, I posted a few of these images as separate entries on this photoblog, Erudite Expressions (the links to the photoblog posts are below). It wasn't until I created my first photo essay earlier this year—The High Line—that I realized that I should present Doors of Prague in the same fashion... |
 Dilapidated but still beautiful. The handle has a deformed shape after years of use... |
 A back entrance to a pizzeria. |
 A nice symmetry here, I think. |
 Many doors in Prague had incredible detail, such as this decorative lion. |
 This is one of my all-time favorite images. The blues on this door are some of the richest I've ever seen. See the photoblog entry for more details. |
 The magnificent Flowering Door of Prague. |
 Doors which lead to shopping in Old Town Prague. |
 An entrance to a residential building. |
 Just a few hundred feet away from the residential door seen above, there was this fiery entrance to a restaurant... |
 Girls walking in step in front of a massive door... |
 A mystery door leading to undeveloped land... |
 Perhaps the most opulent, grandiose, and elaborate door I came across in Prague. And to think: this was an entrance to a residential building, not a palace or state residence. For this photo essay, I chose to present this door in horizontal format; you can see the vertical image and read more about this door in this post. |
 How to close this photo essay? I couldn't decide on the door, so I thought this image of The Dancing House would work, not least because it is also one of my favorite images I have posted on Erudite Expressions in 2010. If you enjoyed this photo essay, please pass the link to whomever you think might enjoy these photos as well. I'd also really appreciate it you “Like” this photo essay using the button below.
