We hoped to fill the magazine with information, ideas and projects that you would find interesting and helpful. Wow, looks like we got it right. You took precious time to send us emails, letters and even call us. Thank you so much for such a heart-warming reception and all your lovely compliments. Recently, it seems almost every waking minute, the economy is dominating the headlines and is ever present in our thoughts. As hard as it is with all that doom and gloom, it is more important then ever for us to recognize that we can benefit from these times. How? Well, when I was young, my father told me on more than one occasion, to make the most out of what I had. Photo by Bruce Jones 4 — Moments to Memories • summer ‘09 This year, what I don’t have is money in my budget to go away on vacation. What I do have is all kinds of things to see and places to visit right outside my door. So, I’ll be taking a staycation, the latest in travel trends – a vacation staying at home or within a short drive. Instead of feeling deprived because I won’t be jetting off somewhere, I’m feeling pretty good that I’ll be reducing my carbon footprint. I’ll be visiting attractions that tourists specifically come to Toronto to see, that I’m embarrassed to admit, I haven’t seen in the 30 years I’ve lived here. I’ll be dining out. After all, who cooks when they’re on vacation. I might even buy myself a little souvenir. And, I can do it on a reduced budget because I won’t have the expense of airplane tickets or hotels. Check out “Staycations – the new affordable vacation” (on page 20) for ideas on how to spend your staycation. Another thing I have that I’m going to make the most of – my new compact camera. I bought it for my trip to Italy last year (see “Summer in Sun-soaked Italy” on page 26). I was so happy with the photos that I took (trust me it wasn’t just me, it was also the camera), I made not one, but two foto books, that are now sitting on the coffee table in my living room. With every season, a girl’s got to have a little fashion update, so I am going to get a new case for my camera. For all you readers who were lucky enough to buy a digital SLR in the last couple of years, take a look at “foto101 – Lenses” (on page 13). A new lens may change your point of view and inspire you to start snapping. No matter what the financial outlook, remember life goes on. This year’s family reunion, birthdays and baby’s first steps will all change from moments to memories. Keep taking photographs, so you can capture those moments and later on be able to cherish the memories.

Pictures of our children’s soccer or baseball games often end up a blurred mess. Here’s a little knowledge that can go a long way to help you get great action shots of your sports star. Above photo courtesy of PHOTOMAGIC foto source, Fort McMurray, Alberta Sports Mode When taking sports photos, one of the most important aspects to remember is your camera’s shooting modes. Using your sports or action mode, your camera will automatically set shutter speed and ISO settings to give you the sports action photo you’re looking for. The camera uses a fast shutter speed to capture quick motion without blurring the subject in your shot. At the same time, it increases the ISO setting which helps freeze the action. On most cameras, the sports mode is designated on the mode dial with the icon of a running man. 10 — Moments to Memories • summer ‘09 fotosource.com Anticipate the action Getting that great shot will rely on your ability to anticipate the action. We’ve all taken pictures of our little one scoring the winning goal at soccer, only to find that the ball had already passed out of the shot. Following your subject on the LCD monitor or through the viewfinder will make it easier to anticipate the action. Now you will be in sync with your subject and ready for those quick action shots. Pressing the shutter release button before the peak moment occurs will allow you to capture your subject in full motion. Another technique you can try is the continuous shooting mode. In this mode, your camera will carry on shooting as long as you keep the shutter button pushed down. Not only will you have a better chance of capturing a precise moment, you’ll likely get terrific before-and-after shots. This mode is ideal when the action is a rapid sequence of motions, like a soccer kick or a golf, tennis or baseball swing. Shutter lag time There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to take a picture of your child scoring the first goal of the game, only to find yourself waiting for the camera. By the time it is actually ready, you’ve completely missed the photo. This is referred to as shutter lag time. To help avoid this, hold the shutter release button halfway down as you compose the shot so that the camera is prepared. The camera will be ready to take the shot whenever you are, without missing a beat. Fill the frame The closer you can get to your subject, the better. Looking at pictures of a little dot on the playing field is dull. You can’t see your player’s expression. You can fill the frame by using the zoom on your lens, or changing your vantage point. Most parents have total access to their child’s sports venue – something professional sports photographers would love. You can increase the prominence of the subject – your child – by keeping the background to a minimum. Scout out good vantage points by walking around the field or rink, before the game begins. Also, try shooting from different angles for a greater variety of shots. Following these simple tips will help you capture winning shots of your little athlete’s winning shots! fotosource.com Memory Cards You must remember this By Amy Giofu Memory cards are one of the most important aspects of digital photography, but they are one of the last things most of us think about. Your memory card is the equivalent of film for your digital camera. When shooting with film, there are a set number of shots – 12, 24 or 36. With digital, the number of shots on your memory card is not predetermined. Card capacity is measured in gigabytes (GB). One thousand megabytes (MB) equals one gigabyte. Deciding what size memory card you need depends on the camera you have and how many pictures you plan on taking. A higher resolution camera needs a memory card with a larger capacity because each image uses more space on the card. Memory cards come in different formats including CompactFlash (CF), Secure Digital (SD), Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Memory Stick (MS), SmartMedia, MultiMedia Card (MMC) and xD Picture Card. Each model of camera can only use a specific format of memory card. So, to ensure you’re buying the correct card, check your camera manual or take your camera with you to the store. Some digital cameras have video recording capability. If you are using your camera to shoot video clips, especially in High Definition, your need for storage space increases, so a higher-capacity memory card, like an SDHC, will be necessary. Memory cards vary in price. The higher the capacity or the faster the speed, the more expensive the card will be. The faster the speed, the less time it takes for the camera to record the image onto the card, also known as the write time, so shot-to-shot time can be reduced. The less time it takes between shots, the more chance you have of getting action shots. It is important to make sure you have enough space on your card, or even an extra one handy so you won’t be deleting pictures at a crucial moment when you should be shooting. Memory card warranties are just as important as the warranty on your camera. Most manufacturers offer one or five-year warranties, but a few cards, like the foto source Pro Series, carry a lifetime over-the-counter replacement warranty. This is the safest way to go and can save you money in the long run.

To frame a subject properly, it required that you move the camera either closer to or further from the subject. Fortunately, today’s digital photographer has a range of modern zoom lenses to choose from to make picture taking easier. Zoom lenses let the photographer adjust the amount of the scene covered by simply turning a ring on the lens, or in the case of the Point & Shoot (P&S), pushing a switch to zoom in or out. They cover everything from wide angle, for capturing more of a scene, to telephoto, for getting the twinkling eyes of their smiling face close up. This is accomplished by an internal set of glass elements that move back and forth giving you the desired angle of view. Because of this, you change lenses less frequently on a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) and can concentrate more on taking pictures. fotosource.com All lenses, whether zoom or fixed focal length, are measured in millimetres, from the front of the lens to the focal plane (the sensor chip). Wide-angle lenses are recognized by their short focal lengths, while telephoto lenses are determined by their longer lengths. The range considered to be a normal wide-angle lens begins at approximately 18mm and extends to 35mm. Telephoto lenses start at 85mm and go up to 300mm. There are shorter and longer lenses, but these are specialty items used more by professionals and serious amateurs than the average photographers who are capturing family events and vacations. It used to be that a photographer would have to buy a bag full of lenses to cover the full range, from wide to telephoto. Now, with the advances in zoom technology, a serious amateur (and many pros) can get by with just two lenses. An excellent kit to cover most picturetaking needs would be an 18–70mm and a 75–300mm. With these two lenses, you can 50mm 35mm 28mm 18mm Moments to Memories • summer ‘09 — 13 grab great shots – everything from the inside of the kids’ tent to your ball star catching a pop fly in centre field. (VR) and other manufacturers (Sigma and Pentax to name two) have followed suit. IS dampens movement such as camera shake, so that you can take pictures in lower light or of a fast-moving subject, without getting the blur associated with camera shake and movement. Most new lenses now offer IS or VR at very reasonable prices. Now, most manufacturers “ offer new lenses with IS or VR at very reasonable prices.” For the P&S shooter, zooms are measured in both optical resolving power and the DSLR or 35mm equivalent. Optical resolving power is a multiple of the image produced by the lens from its smallest image size to its largest. For example, a P&S can provide a 10x optical zoom, which indicates the specific magnification factor of the lens. This is not to be confused with the digital zoom which is handled by the camera’s digital processor. Today, most P&Ss have a zoom range that typically extends from a mild wide angle like a 35mm to a healthy telephoto the equivalent of a 300mm. Another improvement, brought about by recent technological changes, is image stabilization (IS) technology. Hollywood’s motion-picture industry has had image stabilization for years, but it was far too expensive for the average professional photographer, let alone amateur. That’s all changed. For almost a decade now, Canon and Nikon have been making lenses featuring built-in image stabilization or vibration reduction With Polarizing Filter Along with IS, zoom lenses have progressed to the point where their light gathering capabilities are starting to rival the fixed focal length lenses. For years, pros shied away from zoom lenses because of two factors – they often produced soft images and they were slow. The problem of softness has long since disappeared and the speed of these lenses has increased. A lens’ speed is measured by finding its maximum aperture. Most common zoom lenses feature an f-stop of around f3.5 that changes as the lens is extended. You often find f3.5-5.6 inscribed on the lens barrel and this means that the aperture closes down from f3.5 to f5.6 as the lens reaches its fullest extension. A lens with these apertures will suffice for average shooting – especially with IS – but in low light you may find that your shutter speed is too slow for hand-held shooting, even when Every lens needs a filter By Bruce Kemp Take a look at any professional photographer’s camera lens and you’ll likely find either a UV (ultra violet) or polarizing filter on it. UV filters help to reduce haze in photos by absorbing ultra violet light. At higher altitudes, the amount of UV increases. Skiing or hiking in the mountains – you’ll want to be sure to use a UV filter when taking photographs. A UV filter also removes the bluish cast from images, which is particularly useful when photographing people. With UV Filter Polarizing filters reduce the effects of glare caused by shiny objects, increase the lens is at its widest setting. To help photographers overcome this, manufacturers are now producing a range of zooms with enhanced speeds. There are a number of zooms on the market today with apertures as fast as f2.8 and in low light this can make all the difference. The down side of these fast new zooms is the cost. Because of the improved quality of the optical glass and engineering necessary to achieve a maximum aperture of f2.8, the price rises dramatically. This keeps these lenses in the realm of the professional or highly dedicated amateur. With time and better production methods even these will come down in price. However, until then an affordable solution is as simple as shooting with your camera on a steadying tripod or monopod. So get out and shoot – whether using your lens at wide angle to get a beautiful sweeping scenic shot or zooming up close to fill the frame with all the action. If you’ve been using your DSLR and can’t get what you want into the shot – no problem. Think of your wardrobe. With money tight and budgets being stretched, you might not be able to buy a whole new outfit, but you can easily give yourself a new look with the purchase of a few reasonably priced accessories. The same thing applies to your DSLR, a new lens can be just the right accessory to turn your summer photos from drab to fab. contrast and deepen the blue of the sky by reducing reflection from moisture and other airborne particles. If you’ve ever seen a photograph and remarked on the gorgeous blue sky, it was most likely taken using a polarizing filter. The second, and most important duty filters perform, is providing protection by guarding the front end of a lens. Although any filter can do this, UV filters are most frequently used because they are clear. This allows them to remain on the lens almost all the time. Repairing a damaged lens with a new front glass sometimes runs into three figures. Replacing a damaged UV filter is much cheaper. In some cases, it isn’t even cost-effective to replace the front glass and you have to buy a new lens. fotosource.com Legendary NIKKOR Lenses b y Nik o n Over 45 Million NIKKOR Lenses Produced Seamless Performance, Absolute Precision, Total Reliability When it comes to choosing photographic equipment, the lens system may be the most important decision you’ll make.

Get away on vacation – staying right at home. Not burying yourself in yardwork or staring vacantly out the living room window. See, do and explore things around your town instead. Staycations are a unique approach to going on vacation without going far or going broke. Just about every town and city across Canada has something interesting to do that you haven’t done yet. Also, if you’ve decided to help the environment by reducing your carbon footprint, staycations mean you can hop on a bicycle, public transportation or use your car – rather than an airplane. West coasters can take a daylong tour of the Butchart Gardens, one of the most visually sensual National Historic Sites on the register. The Gardens are an explosion of floral colour, scent and Victorian landscaping covering 22 hectares (55 acres) – including a spectacular sunken garden built in an ancient limestone quarry. Visit Vancouver, Whistler and Richmond before the world beats a path there for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Many of the venues for the events, like the Richmond Speed Skating Oval, Canada Hockey Place and Whistler Sliding Centre, are open to the public now. There doesn’t have to be snow on the ground in Whistler, for you to enjoy the Peak2Peak Gondola that travels 3.024 kilometers (1.88 miles) 436 meters (1,427 feet) over Fitzsimmons Creek valley (see Moments to Memories, Winter 2008 issue). in the region’s sandstone or striking terrifying poses in the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Families can experience the thrill of digging for dinosaurs working with the same tools and digging in the same ground as the museum’s paleontologists to uncover casts of dinosaur fossils. Or camp out in a real tepee and search the Badlands for fossils at the EnCana Science Camp. If you prefer a little more current history, check out Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. Despite its gruesome name, this National Historic Site in Southern Alberta provides insight into the lives of our First Nations ancestors. Long before there were grocery stores, First Nations people used a variety of ingenious methods to hunt the large numbers of buffalo it took to sustain them over the winter. One method was to drive the buffalo over a cliff. One of the largest of these sites is Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. Today, the site offers a full interpretive centre with artifacts, a spectacular diorama and audio/visual presentations. Visitors can hike along the rim of the cliff and take in the sweeping prairie vista. What’s summer without a fishing pole and a lazy afternoon? It doesn’t cost much and you don’t have to go far. In metro areas like Toronto or Halifax, you can take public transit right down to the waterfront where the fish live. So, here’s a trivia question. Where was the world’s record rainbow trout caught? If you guessed Saskatchewan, B.C.’s interior beckons with wine you win the prize. For great boating tours in the Okanagan Valley, not to and fishing you need look no further mention one of the best bike touring than Saskatchewan’s great lake – What was a harsh limestone quarry in 1904, is now the garden experiences anywhere in the world. Lake Diefenbaker. This magnificent oasis of Butchart Gardens, thanks to the vision of Jennie Butchart.

All without the crowds of other popular summer destinations. On your staycation, head to museums and national historic sites, where the past comes to llife and is fun for everyone. In Drumheller’s Badlands, there is a real Jurassic Park, for kids of all ages. Fortunately, these Alberta dinosaurs can’t eat you because for the past 60 million yea years they’ve been fossilized skeletons buried Forget the bright lights and expense of Broadway. Summer theatres offer an evening of entertainment and fun. Try one of the local Fringe Festivals or open-air Shakespeare performances. Bring a picnic, spread out a blanket and create your own dinner theatre event. Many companies offer reduced prices for matinees and discounted tickets on the day of performance.

(photo by Wally Hayes) If you want to get your toes tapping and the kids want to get up and dance, music festivals are the way to go. This year, enjoy dozens of folk acts for three days of every kind of music ranging from bluegrass to world at the Winnipeg Folk Festival (July 9-12). Unlike hard rock events, this is a kid and family friendly festival that has garnered a great reputation for 36 years. about every “Just town and city across Canada has something interesting to do that you haven’t done yet. ” Walking tours of your city are another great way to stay in town and see something new without cashing in your RRSPs. Just about every city across the country offers one form of walking tour or another. In Toronto, Shirley Lum hosts urban hikers with A Taste Of The World Walking Tours. Explore everything from ghosts haunting the University of Toronto to Chinese culture. What an appealing word free is. Couple that with 350 outdoor concerts and the Montreal Jazz Festival (July 1-12) is certainly worth staying home for. There’s a lot happening in Montreal this summer from the Festival de Lanaudière to the Montreal World Film Festival to plan a staycation around. Further along the St. Lawrence, Kingston offers a great deal to see and do. Try the Farmers’ Market behind the city’s historic town hall on Saturday mornings or watch the armadas of sailboats compete every August in the Canadian Olympic Regatta Kingston. Imagine, a full day of entertainment, wandering the market and watching the races – FREE! In the evenings, set your watch to the ceremonial sunset firing of a canon at old Fort Henry and dine in one of the dozens of excellent restaurants that dominate the heart of the old town. For kids who complain about being bored, how about two weeks “before the mast” learning to sail a tall ship. Your kids (between 13 and 18 years of age) can join the crew of a tall ship operated by Toronto Brigantine’s Tall Ship Adventures. Running from June 28 through September 6, two tall ships cruise the Great Lakes, as far afield as Georgian Bay, under the guidance of qualified captains and officers. Love the idea of seeing tall ships, but don’t have the sea legs? During the Tall Ships Nova Scotia Festival this July, over forty ships will dock at six of the province’s ports of call. Of the five-day docking in Halifax (July 16-20), three days will be dedicated to public boarding. Don’t put off going on vacation. Instead enjoy a staycation. There is a surprising amount you can do right in your hometown. So get out the camera, put on the suntan lotion, head out and have fun. fotosource.com Money-Saving Staycation Tips Find out if your local museum or art gallery has free-entry days or reduced ed late-day entry fees.

Right page, below: Gardeners will delight in the beauty of the garden at Villa Rufolo. 26 — Moments to Memories • summer ‘09 fotosource.com Italians have long known the beauty and treasures of the Amalfi Coast. However, it wasn’t until the 17th century when upper-class young men, on their Grand Tour of Europe seeking to complete their education, shared its charms with the rest of the world. This destination has continued to delight travelers ever since. Stretching from the southern side of the Sorrentine peninsula, south to Salerno, it is hard to believe that Naples, with its frenetic pace, is a mere 26 kilometres (16.6 miles) north of this tranquil area. In a recent survey, Italy came in top spot as the place where Canadians most want to travel. One look at the sunny beaches and steep cliffs, with houses perched high above the Tyrrhenian Sea, is a powerful influence. The town of Amalfi is perhaps best known for its cathedral, Duomo di Sant’ Andrea. Rising 62 steps from the main piazza, its multi-geometric façade delights the eye. A set of 11th century bronze doors, cast in Constantinople, lead to a Baroque interior. Next to the duomo, the Cloister of Paradise contains religious treasures and the crypt of Sant’ Andrea, patron saint of fishermen. As well as fishing, papermaking was an important part of the Amalfi economy. During the 18th century, there were 16 functioning mills in the town of Amalfi and the outlying Valle dei Mulini. Today, only two remain in operation. Cartiera Amatruda, open since 1380, offers a short tour complete with demonstration showing the ancient equipment still used to produce paper by hand from cotton rags. Perched high above Amalfi is Ravello. The views from the road are spectacular. Leave the driving to the professionals; take an open-topped red SITA bus, so you can fully enjoy them. Listen to a brief history of the area, as the bus climbs the road that zigs and zags up the rocky cliffs. The word magical is used repeatedly when describing Ravello. The spell is cast the moment the bus deposits you at its final stop. As you stand high above the Mediterranean, you will be torn between the magnificent panorama in front of you and the mysterious tunnel carved into the rock behind you. From this cool dark passage you emerge into the bright, expanse of Ravello’s main piazza. Gardeners will be thrilled at the sight of the beautiful gardens at Villas Rufolo and Cimbrone. Villa Rufolo has not only inspired gardeners, but also, musicians and composers. In 1880, Richard Wagner visited the villa during the period he penned his opera Parsifal. So inspired he wrote in the villa’s guest book, “The enchanted garden of Klingsor has been found.” It is here, the Ravello Festival, an annual music event, is held. A stage at one end of the gardens appears to be cantilevered from a cliff over the Bay of Salerno. At evening concerts, as the music crescendos, the sun sets and the lights of Salerno twinkle in what can only be described as breath-taking beauty. fotosource.com on-line destination guide “In a recent survey, Italy came in top spot for the place where Canadians most want to travel.” Amalfi Amalfi Tourist Office www.amalfitouristoffice.it Above: The quintessential Positano view featuring the church of Santa Maria Assunta. Ravello Left: Bright orange umbrellas line the beach in Positano, shielding bathers from the sun’s rays. Ravello Festival www.ravellofestival.com Villa Cimbrone www.villacimbrone.com Clinging to the rocky cliffs that rise sharply from the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, are the buildings of Positano. Perhaps the most famous is the church of Santa Maria Assunta. Built in the 8th century, its colourful dome adorned with Vietri majolica tiles is the highlight in virtually every photograph representing the Amalfi Coast. Walk from the top of Positano, down winding, narrow pedestrian passageways, canopied by bougainvillea. These passageways are lined with hundreds of shops filled with linens, Vietri pottery and clothing. Describing Positano, one traveler exclaimed, “It’s one giant women’s dress store.” The only thing better than a new pair of shoes, is a custom-made pair. Just after World War II, cobblers in Positano began the tradition of sandal making. Though these sandals are flat and the styles are simple, they are made to your exact measurements. It takes less than an hour to have sandals made, and provides a perfect excuse to stop and have lunch. Just below the church of Santa Maria Assunta, the passageways come to an end, and open up onto the sun-soaked beach. Restaurants, with terraces overlooking the sea, offer spada (swordfish) caught daily by local fishermen. On a hot summer day, nothing refreshes more than a cup of lemon granita. This light icy treat is a simple mixture of water, sugar and juice from lemons grown in orchards along the Amalfi coast. Lined with orange umbrellas, the pebble beach is where sunbathers pass their day taking cooling dips, sipping iced limoncello and being lulled, by the sounds of the waves, into a refreshing afternoon nap. Another form of entertainment at the beach is watching the tourists arrive off the ferries from Capri and Naples. Loaded down with heavy suitcases, it dawns on them that they have to haul these suitcases up the steep slopes to their accommodation. Now, after a few days here, you fancy yourself a local and know there are porters for hire to do this. Villa Rufulo www.ravellotime.it/en/ visitare_ravello/rufolo.asp Positano Positano Tourist Office www.positano.com Sandals www.safaripositano.com Soaring cliffs, stunning views, buildings steeped in history and gardens to delight – there are so many reasons to visit the Amalfi coast.

Instead, you’ll be staying home and nesting. Why not get out your photo albums and relive some of your great vacation memories? Gallery wraps are an update on traditionally stretched canvas paintings. With gallery wraps, the image is wrapped all the way around the frame and tacked to the back, unlike the traditional method with its plain canvas sides and unsightly staples. This advantage means it can be hung without a frame – a savings on the wallet. Differing from traditional photographic enlargements, they create a three dimensional look. Best of all, although gallery wraps have a modern look, they also work well in traditional and minimalist décor. Creating the look is so easy No frame required All hardware is hidden on the back of the wrap, saving you the cost of a picture frame. Enhance impact with a 2” thick wrap Wraps are available in several thicknesses, providing a range of effects. 1 2 3 4 Measure Measure the wall space and determine how many prints you want to hang. Remember to display in groups of uneven numbers (1, 3, 5). Pick your photos Look through photographs from past vacations. Determine which ones you’d like made into gallery wraps. If the photographs were taken with a digital camera, burn them to a CD. If the photographs were taken with a film camera, you’ll need the negatives or the print itself. Order your gallery wraps Take CDs, negatives and/or prints to your photo speciality store (see page 43 for the foto source store near you) to see what size gallery wraps they offer and determine the sizes you want. Hang them and enjoy Once you’ve got your gallery wraps – stay home, curl up with a good book and wrap yourself in the beauty and comfort of custom pieces of art made just for you with your photographs. Your image will wrap around the sides too When the wraps are complete, the images are displayed on the front and along all four sides. fotosource.com fotosource.com Moments to Memories • summer ‘09 — 31 A day at the beach these aren’t afraid o off the water Before the sun sets, Ahoy there matey.

So here are six tips to make capturing their beautiful face as simple as it was for them to capture your heart. By Bruce Kemp 1 2 Begin with mom or dad holding baby. Parents are best, as baby has already bonded with them. When taking photos with other family members, give baby a chance to comfortably settle before snapping shots. 3 4 5 6 Use natural light whenever possible. First, turn off the flash. Then, push your ISO up to 400 or 800. You’ll be delighted with the results. Alternatively, prop the wee one on a warm blanket and surround it with pillows. Pillows will hold the child in position and also support their fragile head and neck. (Newborns are too young to respond to toys and stuffed animals. But, these work very well when baby is a little older and growing more aware of the world around them.) Move the mother and baby close to a window. This will give you the most pleasing light and won’t disturb the child. If you must use a flash, turn on your red-eye control and reduce the flash output. Many babies become irritated and cry when a flash goes off. This means you’ll lose any chance of getting happy baby shots. If you have a camera with an auxiliary flash, bounce the flash off the ceiling. This will give soft, even light. fotosource.com A photogra helped saveph Leo In 2006, Leo Pezzente’s p arents first noticed a strange wh over their so ite haze n’s eye when reviewing ph graphs taken otoon their digit al camera.

They evoke emotion. Whether it is the color, material or detail of the door that draws our attention, they can create feelings of happiness and warmth. We want an invitation to enter. Doors rouse our curiosity. When we see a door that appeals to us, we wonder who lives behind it. Does an old door indicate that an older person lives behind it? If a modern door were to open, would a younger person emerge? Does a door reflect the personality of the person living behind it? If it has many locks does the person have secrets or are they simply seeking protection? We use doors for purposes other than their intended use of covering a portal of a building.
