A Thousand Doors 0001-1000

One Thousand Door Project Doors 1 to 250

I started this Door Project on Instagram on December 15th, 2015. I had at the time just completed a short project for my college work that was based on Doors. Searching for something I could make into a longer project, doors was not something I was considering, it just happened. Strangely enough, it was by accident. The first door in the project has a story behind it. I was to meet my boss at the time to look over a job we where to start and as usually happened with him, he turned up nearly an hour late which gave me think time while waiting for him. There was no point me entering the building on my own as I had no ideal what the job was or what part of the building it was in.

This had given me the description for the project which has not changed from my first draft.

"A Thousand Doors! Some doors you pass through every day, some less often or never at all. Every door has a story behind it some we know others make us wonder. This has given an me idea for a small project which is to capture 1000 door images without any explanation as to where it is or what is behind them."

it was always planned to be a slow burner Project and not something with a set end date. The pandemic really did slow down the project and lead to a pause due the lockdowns as I did not want to just keep capturing doors all from the same area.

I had been posting the doors on Instagram but lost interest in using that platform due to how is has changes in recent years, I do not feel Instagram resented photography anymore, not like when I joined.

I would like to have the project completed to mark the 10 years after the start, this gives me 3 years tom meet that deadline. I will see can I do it without it just been about capturing every door I see.
