It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

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.
i've always loved that latch, too. but i've never looked at it up close like that, to see how many years it's held up. wow...
