This edge-on shot reminds me of the now-famous photo of Apple's MacBook Air. Except for the fact that a) it lacks a MacBook Air, and b) it lacks anything approaching the artistry of the original. I suppose I could always reproduce the shot, but then I'd end up with a me-too photo and a scratched laptop. No thanks.
Still, I kept coming back to this stairway as we watched a friend's son's hockey game, and I grabbed this quick shot before we left. Of course, the parents in the stands seemed to find it mighty odd that a strange guy was pointing a camera away from the ice. But there's a certain je ne sais quoi about stairs in any form, and I wasn't about to let this industrial concrete example fade into memory.
Your turn: Where do these stairs lead? Go on, be creative!
Your and my definitions of "famous" vary greatly. I have never seen that MacBook Air photo until clicking your link today. My wife and I heard the song "Beat It" last night on the radio. Now, that's famous.
ReplyDeleteIt may sound morbid, but, the first thing that came to mind when I saw these stairs was the stairway of the twin towers on September 11th.
ReplyDeleteI could see the feet and legs of my cousin and all the people trying to escape that inferno.
