Giving Thanks on Thanksgiving and the Origins of Door51 Photography

Today is Thanksgiving and I have a lot to be thankful for. From things we all take for granted, like hands to hold the camera and sight to see through the viewfinder, to the beautiful wife and a charming place we live in. I'm thankful for my job - it let's me pay the bills and fuels my motorized passions. Above all, I'm thankful for my parents who, 16 years ago brough me to America and gave me the love and support to make this wonderful life for myself.

Which brings me to the name of our business: Door 51 - a black leather door on the first floor of just another 5 floor, block-long building in what is now an independent republic of Belarus. I have never been back, but I will never forget my roots. This business name is a constant reminder of where I came from and what my family went through to get where we are today.


And finally, I'm thankful for anyone who actually took the time to read through all this!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
