I have never seen an escalator illuminated like this. Have you? I think the only light source is the white stripes just above the steps. They are probably LED or florescent Tubes. Know where this is? It is the escalator that you take back up to the street level, from the basement of the 9/11 Memorial Museum. The Museum is a pretty powerful experience, so having something as dramatic as this to take you back to the ordinary world is a wonderful idea.
Surreal is the word that came to mind seeing today's blog shot pic. The lighting and balanced composition grabbed my attention and the people making their way up the escalator somehow look more like animated characters. A very cool photo indeed!
ReplyDeleteEthereal is the word that first came to my mind.. yes, a very cool photo!!
ReplyDeleteThis is very dramatic. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all for your comments. I think that both "surreal" and "ethereal" are both great descriptions for for what I felt when looking at that photograph. Thanks!
