Hideously Charming

Uploaded: May 11, 2004

Description

Downtown San Antonio, TX. There are zillions of neighborhoods filled with charming houses such as this. The peeling pink paint, Christmas ornaments, and American flag stickers beckoned me to pull over and photograph this doorstep!

Hahaha! :-D Well, it was an especially ugly piece of trash-- a dirty and broken plastic pet carrier. I just didn't think it went with the rest of the pic! Thanks for stopping by!

There are probably a ton of cliches that can be used here (e.g. Never judge a book by its cover.)! Great eye to see this and make it into a great shot, as well as to make the viewer wonder what is past that door. Wonderfully done, Nancy.
Aloha,
