Every Door Has a Story: Meet Tina & Don

A few weeks ago I asked my local followers if any of them would like me to photograph their front door decorated for the fall season. Only a few replied, and one of those was Tina, an early and consistent follower of The Front Door Project. Tina lives in Waterbury, CT with her husband Don, about…
