Some of the blogs I follow post photos of interesting doors on Thursday. This apparently started with a blog called Norm 2.0, which has featured interesting door photos for years. I’ve always wanted to play, but I seldom get out around interesting doors.
But recently I visited Madison, Indiana, which is rich in great entryways. Herewith, a series of Madison doors on this Thursday.

Very nice! I am amazed that you have not done this before.
I did one of these once before, of doors I had happened to photograph. But doors just haven’t been a frequent enough subject to do Thursday Doors more often than that.
Yeh like JP said, if I think about the subjects you tend to shoot then cars, roads and buildings come to mind, so I would have assumed you’ve photographed plenty of doors in your time.
My favourites here are the bright red fire house door, and the one with the black door on the khaki green wall, with a red wall next door, which makes the building look like a giant Rothko painting.
I have a post in draft in my “These Three Photographs” series that features doors, I must finish that one off soon…
Until this series I never deliberately shot doors. I will try to do it more often now!
WOW, looks amazingly like Alexandria Virginia!
I’ve never been! Old Madison dates to the early 1800s giving it perhaps a colonial feel.
Great doors! I love me a great door, my house is a 60’s box so it does not have a great door.
That Donlan House door has everything! Stone and brick and arch and brass and stained glass and woodwork details and natural finish. Fantastic.
The doors in Madison are just wonderful! I could spend a whole day photographing them.
Fabulous selection of doors, Jim. Love the red painted brick on the first one, sets the door off nicely.
Thank you! There are so many wonderful doors in Madison! It’s easy pickings.
Wow! Makes me what to do something special with my door. Love the photos.
A good door is a beautiful thing!
Wow this was a very neat post! I can’t even pick a favorite, and I enjoy how they all have such historic looks
If I could spend another day in Madison just photographing doors, I could probably do three or four more Thursday Doors posts just from those images! Madison is remarkable.
Well thanks for sharing a slice of it with us! I really enjoyed it
Good doors Jim, I always like to shoot a good door when I see one this is a great set. I haven’t done a post under this tag before either been tempted though, maybe soon.
Which of your collection were you shooting with for this trip?
Hope you will!
I was using my Canon S95. I’ll add that to the bottom of the post. I usually do that but forgot this time.
