At the age of 21 where most normal guy officially reach physical adulthood, my body stopped from growing at 5’6 tall. By then, I knew I cannot make it as a supermodel like I dreamed of and travel around the world for free. Being just dark, handsome and disappointed, I had to think of something else to do with my life. The door to becoming a supermodel has closed (It was never open for me anyway, I realized that ten years later). Thank god I am actually smart and talented I never knew. Whew!
Ten years later, I have encountered countless doors and windows of opportunities I never thought would open and close for me during my early until late twenties. From desktop publishing to design agency. I’m now a Graphic Designer (wow), but my current company entitled me as the Digital & Creative Lead… because they cannot promote me into something else (that sounds better and more expensive though). I currently work as the in-house designer in a company that requires corporate branding and stuff that will make them on top of the competition. Such serious talent.
Okay, that is too much bragging. I hope that’s a good opening for this post. I tried my best to make sense for this entry. Here below are the images from my close encounter with unique doors from different part of the world.
I own all images in this gallery. But now, the internet owns it too.

I think this was the massive door from Ciragan Palace, Kempinski while I was on my way to Ortakoy, Istanbul, Turkey.
