Atlanta , Ga.... doors to churches

Have you ever felt the need for safety? Today I began to try to remember times in my life when I felt safe. Where does safety live. I thought about all the church services I have been in and felt completely wrapped in safety and security. I have a real curiousity with the entry ways of churches and with the thoughts from childhood in my head I got in my car and started in my little town where I have always loved these red doors at this local church and how they are so welcoming. I brought my camera so I could freezeframe how the doors made me feel. It was so nice I got to thinking about a trip I made to the High Museum on Peachtree st last week and how much I admired all the church entry ways to the many different Churches on Peachtree st. I had my camera and decided to just go in search of these little peices of safety. I was blessed to be raised by a good Daddy who is also a preacher. What a gift to have been given a sheltered life where I was surrounded by Godly compassionate people.

Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest

Off to Atlanta.....






































































































I photographed every set of entry doors to every church from Buckhead to Downtown. Each unique... Each beautiful... I love what happens to souls inside. I thought I would share just a few...

  1. What a beautiful collection of entryways! I think that the architecture of church buildings (at least older ones) is so beautiful. Wonderful job capturing the peacefulness and beauty.
