 A stairway I pass on my way to and from work.

Thanks to all of you who have cautioned me about running around in the dark. These are all taken around 5:00 p.m., and there are still lots of people on the streets. As a Little Old Lady with some fairly serious camera gear, I don't take chances. It still gets dark quite early, but in a few weeks, I won't be able to do this until next year.

This has such a spooky evil feel to it. It's like a one way ticket. You can go up there but you'll never return.

Shame on me - I have not looked at your stuff in a while! This one is very cool. I love the perspective leading up to the light. The reflections on the walls are also very interesting. I like that you made a photo out of something that most of us would just take for granted.

Your processing, once again, adds such impact to an already eerie capture. Love the convey of emotion through the image.

I'm not sure I would want to climb those stairs, to afraid to see what would be waiting for me at the top!

Love it! Makes you just want to run up those stairs and explore. I love to look at your photos to see if I recognize anything, as I worked in Santa Barbara for years.

miss the old NYC! there is always someone around and yes, if you use your head and stay alert it's usually pretty safe no matter what the hour. Photography always leavs me feling a bit bvulnerable as I get into the shot and forget to keep my guard up. Are you starting gread school?

you are going to have so many images to capture in NY! the B&W here is great and fits the image well IMO
can't wait to see more!

The way it is post processed I wouldn't like to climb that stair at night. Seems taken from a horror film ;¬) very nice shot.

It's a good idea to be extra cautious these days. I carry weapons on me, if anything to use against a bear or cougar though I wouldn't hesitate to use it against a human that meant me harm, but fortunately I live in a safe place.

I love your brooding image, it looks so Hitchcock. It reminds me of light at the end of a dark tunnel. Stay safe...night photography is so much fun! :)
