This morning as I enjoyed coffee and conversation with my brother at his house in Santa Rosa, I noticed the weathered door to his work shed had beautiful texture emphasized by the morning sunlight. When I went outside to take some shots, I realized the metal sign on the door, jammed haphazardly into one of the cross braces, was a familiar one—it used to be affixed to a door at the old Sunset Line and Twine Company in Petaluma, my family’s company for many years. I like this shot as a monochrome enhanced by some filters in Silver Effects but I decided to emphasize the original yellow of the metal sign which directed job applicants to the office and which I guess my brother now uses to keep the curious from invading his workspace.
