It started by accident: an arch in an old harbour wall, and through it, a bay full of small boats. Since then I look for doorways wherever there is a coast.

A frame changes the sea. It turns a view into a picture, gives the horizon an edge, and makes you stop for a moment longer than you would have.

Not a doorway, strictly speaking. A staircase is a door that takes its time. Photo by Kseniia Zapiatkina / [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/?utm%5Fsource=samadesign%5Fdemo&utm%5Fmedium=referral)
