Inspiration: I went out with my camera and no particular subject in mind. What did I end up with? A bunch of shadows. Seriously. This is only the first of a few shots depicting the shadows of things. That said, I do love the geometric lines and the patterns formed by rows of buildings with rows of emergency stairs and wideness of my 35mm (I've been carrying the 70-200 forever, so I got used to a certain kind of "wide").

Amazing geometric lines !

The architecture of the stairs is awesome! And with the shadows, it looks so perfect!
Amazing picture!

These are great! Love fire escape geometry, especially made doubly interesting by their equally geometric shadows! (I think I need to get a wide angle lens too :D )

this is nice! Shadows are tricky to take picture of IMHO...

Relatable style is absolutely right.

Oh, we are so much alike. For the last few months I've been fascinated with shadows, unfortunatly my cameras focus and I always tend to disagree with each other.
Love this picture and looking forward to the others.
Have a great week.

Fan lines. Like the play of shadows. Very nice picture.

This is probably the safest building to stay in with a fire escape system like that. That’s a great shot, by the way. The gray scale effect added a lot of drama to that photo. =)
