I don't know what my fascination is with shutters. I think maybe it's partly to do with their geometry and symmetry, and partly because of their concealing nature. Curiosity has always featured heavily in my life and I think that plays its part in their appeal to me.

Add to that their state of dereliction and my boyhood attraction to adventure stories of lost treasure, spies and kidnap rescue from old, derelict buildings and that probably explains it!
