Just Another Photographer
I’ve been taking photos from the time I was in high school. Over the years I’ve been slowly transitioning from your general snap-shot shooter to a more thoughtful and hopefully artful photographer.
Gates of Mekelle #31
I just love abstract details like this one. I like the converging lines and complimentary circle, oval and rectangle shapes. To top it off we have the layers of paint showing through from the general wear.
Gates of Mekelle #30
With a population of over 200,000 people it quite likely that there is going to some repetition in the gate designs. In gate #30 we see the familiar rectangular pattern in the main part of the gate. This is combined with a simple geometric wire motif and the popular...
Gates of Mekelle #29

Gates of Mekelle #28
Here's another gate that uses a simple rectangular pattern. As with most of the gates in Mekelle they are constructed with a man-door.
Gates of Mekelle #27
This is a wonderful monochromatic gate with religious details.
Gates of Mekelle #26
This is one of the more cheerful gates I encountered while walking around the city of Mekelle.
Gates of Mekelle #25
An Ethiopian man dressed in white enters through the human door in this flower themed metal gate.
Gates of Mekelle #24
I have always loved rusty, chipped, scrapped and well-worn objects. This detailed photo has it all.
Mekelle Gates #23
I love the bold shapes and the use of the repeating panels to add the door for individual access.
Mekelle Gates #22
I really like these abstract detail photos. This one has this nice contrast of the rectilinear shapes with the perfectly round brass lock.
