Shutters n Gutters aka shuttersngutters.com is a blog curated by Eric Foster, showcasing tales and a quiet visual journey of the worlds overlooked beauty…real stories of ornate front doors in tucked away alleys to iron street manholes, late night snacks and the serendipity of travel…I invite you into a world of symmetry, textures and the poetry of the streets.

To me, there is something symbolic about doors. They keep us out, invite us in…or quietly close behind a story we will never know. I didn’t start travelling with the intention of photographing front doors or street manholes – but at some point, they started speaking louder than the guidebooks, museums and touristy type nonsense everywhere.

This blog is a place for me to collect my visual fragments of time while walking sometimes with no desination…in route to my destination. On road.

A minimalist travel and street photography blog exploring doorways, textures, local foods, cannabis and memories and moments across the US, Europe, Asia and beyond.

Let this be the beginning of seeing more by looking less.
