One of my most popular features is the Door of the Month. Many of you have sent me photos of some terrific doors over the years and some of my tour clients have told me they had photographed doors all over Paris. Now is a chance to show off your door photos. For this month's contest I will choose my favorite door and the winner will not only be rewarded with the honor of being featured as this month's Door of the Month, but will also be given a prize.
The prize is a copy of Hemingway's Paris: Our Paris? by H.R. Stonebeck, Professor of English at the State University of New York, New Paltz. Stonebeck has received numerous awards and honors for criticism, poetry and teaching. Composed during the late 1980s and originally published as a small limited edition chapbook in 1990, Hemingway's Paris: Our Paris? 9000-word prose poem is a masterpiece of both appreciation and analysis by a scholar whose knowledge and love of Paris is as deep,profound and genuine as his knowledge and love of Hemingway.
Please send up to 3 images to [email protected] before next Wednesday, November 17. I will announce the winner on Thursday, November 18. Below are some past Door's of the Month to give you inspiration. May the best door win!
