Passageways my photos, my words

I enjoy photographing birds, so my photo files are full of photos of a variety of birds.

Other than my wildlife photo hikes, I seldom head out with my camera with a goal to get as many photos of (place subject here) as I can. I’m not a goal-oriented or subject-driven photographer. Instead, I shoot whatever catches my attention.

But occasionally I’ll be looking through my files, seeking a specific photo, when I realize that I have a very nice collection of photographs of (place subject here). So I turn that collection into a gallery to use on my web site.

That’s what happened with this gallery featuring photographs of various types of passageways. I was looking for a photo of the arched exit from the San Diego train station when I noticed I had a number of nice photos showing arches … and tunnels … and doorways … and hallways … and passageways in general. I guess it’s a subject that catches my attention.

My photos of passages represent nine different U.S. states and five separate countries. In some photos the passage serves as a frame for a subject. That’s the case with the San Diego train station photo, where the arched exit frames the San Diego skyline. In others the passage is the subject, like in the photo of Playmate’s Arch in New York City’s Central Park. Many of the photos feature architecture, but there are also photos of natural passages like exits from caves.

This was a fun topic to put together because I used a rather broad definition of “passageway” (my site, my rules). The resulting gallery includes a variety of visually (and, at times, historically) interesting photographs.
