I'm always drawn to photograph unusual doors and windows. They are like portals into worlds I know nothing about. I had a visceral response to this door while wandering around what looked like a warehouse district in Tacoma. Someone had spray-painted the word "NO" on it in neon yellow. I liked it's abrubt quality; the way it commanded the space on that cracked and peeling door.Taken in the setting of this retro-urban environment, I appreciated its spontaneous "counter-culture" message; a universal response to all of the bull-shit that ever was and ever will be.
And aesthetically, at least for me, a door with a neon "NO" is more interesting than just a door.
I love doors too, also paths always beckon me on. I spent a lot of time wandering in the woods as a kid because of that, just have to see where it goes...
