Description
This image is one of several taken at a condemned garage in Greer, SC. The garage served as a bustling place of business, and modest livelihood for the owner and his family until his death several years ago. The building now sits abandoned and recently condemned. A ghostly reminder of times past, soon to be forgotten.
This image is a close up of the small, but strong padlock placed on the door to keep squatters and vandals out of the building until it is torn down. I thought it was a fitting symbol for the way we often lock our past away in favor of the now or the present. In reality, I think it is wise to leave those doorways to our past closed, but unlocked, as much can be learned from peering into them on occasion.
