We see the same thing in the Altgens photo. It was taken at a steep angle, right? Altgens was way down the hill, right? And he was west, right? Therefore, the west side of the doorway was cut-off and the east side was opened up, right?

But, we can't see the median handrail in the Altgens photo. However, we can see the ceiling light, and that was in the center too. So, let's use it as a proxy for the median handrail.

You accept that the ceiling light was in the center of the doorway, right? And Doorman was close to the center but slightly west of center, as you can see that he is slightly west of the ceiling light. Well, let's measure the distance- in the picture- between the ceiling light and the column on each side. You can see that it's way out of whack with MUCH MORE of the east side represented and very little of the west side. And we know exactly how much of the west side was cut off.

The above picture was taken from directly in front, or close thereto, therefore, the median handrail appears to be in the center and the distance to the columns is the same on both sides. But, because Altgens shot at an angle, the distance from the center to the east column is much longer. The line is longer because the space appears wider. It wasn't wider; it was exactly the same; but it appears wider; much wider. 


The open side is also the apparent wider side. So, how come in the Darnell frame the open side is the apparent narrower side? 


The median handrail is where it is. I didn't put it there. And it has to represent the exact middle of the doorway. So, why is it wider on the open side of the doorway? I mean open as in visually open, where we can see the inner wall. In all the other examples I have shown you, the open side is also wider.
