This charming porch with spindlework detail is the entrance to a townhouse. Tomorrow you’ll see the different touches added to the same porch by the next door neighbor. Photographer: MarieMcC of Alexandria Daily Photo. Taken in June 2006. This doorway is in Southeast Washington DC.

Note that this door is identical (except for the absence of double knockers and mail slot) to the one in yesterday’s post. The only difference is the color. Photographer: MarieMcC of Alexandria Daily Photo. Taken in June 2006. This doorway is in Southeast Washington DC.

When taking pictures for Alexandria Daily Photo, I’m often torn between showing the entire building or honing in on the detail. For that reason I’ve started this blog, which will feature only doorways, a favorite subject of photographers everywhere. Photographer: MarieMcC of Alexandria Daily Photo. Taken in June 2006.
