When going to Midtown, many local photographers or visitors focus on its many, multi colored murals. For a change Kiana Freeman wanted to take a closer look at its quaint doors and windows.
Here are some of her photos and essay:
“Midtown is typically known for its vivid murals, cozy local businesses, and animated signs and people; but if you look closely, some of Midtown's most unique charm is hidden in its windowsills and doorways.
Many of the doors and windows in this neighborhood also have vibrant colors and fascinating details.
Some doors here have been painted and framed with color, while some are illustrated with swirled lines and art deco.
Some windows are crowned with moulding, and on the inside decorated with neon signs, vases of flowers, and printed decals.
The shapes of the windows vary, often diverging from the regular square shape.The abstract arrangements of glass can make for interesting lines and framing of interior objects.
Many of the quaint doors and windows can be found on the neighborhood’s more rustic buildings, often houses and stores made of brick brought to life by their glass and wooden details.
No doors and windows were alike on my photographic journey, all ranging in size, color, and feature, each one artistically designed. The architecture and creativity in each corner makes Midtown a place for creative expression to live and flourish freely. “
