Man I'm all over the place! There's so much going on out there and I'm loving all the cool blogs and people I'm finding through classes, mail art projects and (yes, i admit) even facebook!
One of the blogs I'm loving is The Kat Eye View of the World. She's got some super photography going on over there and even a section for images she's taken in Germany! (Lemme hear a *woot! woot!!*) So go check her out.
One of her recent posts was about a cool thing called frames within frames. It's basically about finding shots where the subject somehow frames itself. I've always been super attracted to window and doorways and I thought it was because they represent a change between interiors and exteriors. Now I'm thinking it's also because they're just so compositionally interesting! Go check out what other folks linked up to her post - awesome.
I'm a little hesitant to share my shots from my iPhone, (amongst real photographers) but my "real" camera is off for repairs. Yet I thought of Kat immediately when I saw this little opening up in the woods where I work out. So I wanted to share my "natural" frame too!
There's something about paths into new spaces, like your photo, that is absolutely intriguing!

Oh, these are such wonderful frames, but also what I call "thresholds" too! What you describe as the transitions - they are magical. Thank you so much for participating in Exploring with a Camera. I am so happy to meet you this way!

I think your little iPhone images look great! There is something so symbolic in the tunnel/frame within a frame idea. Means so many things....
Well done!

Great shot TJ, makes you look better around to spotthe frames, don't you.
I love doors so much because there can be a total surprise behind a door. I photographed them a lot in France and England. No idea why I don't do this in my own country! :-)
