Garage Door Latch


I spent some time with the late afternoon sun leaving long shadows on the garage door from this old-fashioned latch. When I was a kid, on my grandparents' farm in Guilford, Connecticut, all the barn doors had latches like this. I was thrilled when we bought our house years ago, that the garage door had the same kind of latch. I spent time with this photo, trying for something more abstract, rather than just representational. I love that the shadows are blue. One of these days I will tell you why that is.
