Artist's Comments

This is an older photo that I wasn't too happy with initially, but have since revisited and decided to post. It's a somewhat minimalistic shot of a staircase running up the side of a fuel storage tank in Sault Ste. Marie, ON. This is roughly a 75% crop from a much larger image.

205 by *tfavretto - This is a remarkable photograph! The stairs entwining the fuel tank are almost escher-esque; how they magically become inverted towards the lower steps. The words make it all the more interesting; to me, almost a bit conceptual. And how the steps loom into the darkness is quite intriguing. Conclusively, the horizontal lines are there to help orchestrate the photography. (Suggested by `failingjune and Featured by `hellfirediva)

Well, I think you chose a very good subject. Staircases have always fascinated me, and this one is no different. Nice shot, beautiful clarity.

Mmmm, nice shot. I'm glad you rethought it. Was that the existing lighting or did you have to fiddle with it? Either way, it looks stupendous!

Fantastic, I really like the lighting on it, Great idea I wondered what it was before I read the comments, the shape of the staircase is really interesting :)

I think it's really an interesting image. The stairs form a sort of optical illusion if you look long enough..I like it

The simplicity of this is what makes the photo so striking. I'm glad you posted it.
