thanks, i could see where it’d be a little disorienting at first!
navybrat

blackoutangel replied
thank you!

Oh, this is perhaps my favorite stairshot of all time. I had physical response to it…like being sucked down it. Pretty powerful, eh? Do hope descriptor is merely poetic. Cindy

Magical image! Love the soft light, repeating patterns and that beautiful shadow.
blackoutangel replied
thanks – it was a beautiful staircase. the rest of the building wasn’t very spectacular, but i loved this spot.

thank you, Kevin, that’s very kind of you to say. i am happy with it although i am looking forward to doing a second volume because i learned a lot from the first.
