What began as a spontaneous photograph of a small, bright blue door in the UK has grown into a full-fledged artistic journey.

On lunch breaks, he wandered historic neighborhoods, snapping doorways, cornices, arches, and façades. From the gritty to the pretty, nothing is too ordinary to catch his attention. Within a few months, @doorwaysofchicago was born. As a walking tour guide and historic storyteller, he brings that same passion to the streets of Chicago, leading groups through Wicker Park, the Loop, and Old Town.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow based in a studio inside the landmark Fine Arts Building, Ronnie draws inspiration from his surroundings--a place where artistry, legacy, and creative energy meet.
