reclaimed art

more than two years ago, kristin and i took a trip to buckeystown in search of old doors (to make a bed frame that's still unfinished?@!). we came upon this fantastic old barn door and decided that it would make a great "frame" to display our photographs. we finally hung it today. let me describe before you look at the pictures. the hanging brackets and rod are all plumbing supplies - flanges, nipples, t joints and a piece of galvanized pipe.

christmas cards are the first installation.
