Wherever this door is going to, I’m totally in. As I wandered around Chicago today looking for interesting things to take pictures of, I saw this door and it struck me. Almost symbolic. Do I open the door and walk through, chasing passion, prioritizing self, growing, learning and moving forward? Or do I make the same mistakes, give the same half-ass effort, and continue to associate with those who aren’t rooting for me? I think we know the answer to that question. 📷 . . . . . . . #door #city #subwaytile #streetphotography #chicagophotography #photography #tile #chicago #instagood #photooftheday #chicagophotographer #art #travel #chicagogram #design #cityphotography #streetart #instagram #picoftheday #doors #streetstyle #chicity_shots #artofchi #doorsofinstagram #likechicago #insta_chicago #doorway #chi_shooters #chicagolife #chicagoart
