I spotted this odd pair of shutters in the Montmartre district of Paris. The building was obviously as much in need of repair as the shutters. I found the mismatched window coverings fascinating, both for their similarities (louvers, painted wood frame, L-brackets at top, solid panels in the bottom) and their obvious differences (the main one being that the left shutter is two hinged pieces which results in the slightly off-balance look). Upon reflection, I decided that the two might even have been designed to go together. What do you think?

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
