Last week I was fortunate enough to be in Milan, the building we stayed in had fabulous Art Deco doors. Back in 1996 I visited 10 Downing Street, the front door had no lock.

Didn’t Stanley Kubrick get one of his minions to take thousands of pictures of suburban doors in St Albans or some such hell hole for a project that never got off the ground in the seventies? Oh to have been his minion.
Nice doors.
