About the light

They say photography, 'great' photography, is all about "the light." I agree. That is the huge line that separates a snapshot and an image with impact. This image is of the double door that leads from the garage to our kitchen. How many times I have open and closed these doors coming and going since moving in this past November is anyone's guess. But now that the sun has shifted as it sets off the western horizon, the light streams through another multi-pane door highlighting this wall. The light of the setting sun coming through the window painted a picture the other evening on this old door and the wall behind it that I hadn't seen before. The 'light' makes the image.
