You can’t eat this, this is stairs.
Delicious, red velvet stairs.
I actually had to keep waiting for people to run up the stairs so I could try to recenter my shot and take another exposure or two. It may be a simple picture, but it’s exactly what I wanted: architecture that has an actual flavor.
(Also oh god posting on c/pics terrifies me because there’s so much more audience, but I’m trying to get my work out into the world. If you like my stuff, please poke around in c/photography!)
Thank you for seeing my work!
You can’t go up all the way unless you have at least 70 stars

Strong ‘The Shining’ vibes
The Frankfurt Airport has at least a mile or a mile and a half of people movers. JFK isn’t much better, really big airports.
Is this at the escalators after you get off the tram to leave the terminal? In my experience the door to these stairs is overlooked. Most everyone scrambles to queue up for the escalators and you can just walk up and out easily.
Indeed, and that’s exactly how I got there, right off the A gates. Didn’t wanna wait for endless able-bodied jabronies to stand idly on the escalator, so I ended up taking my stroke-addled body up the stairs through the back, using my cane to help me climb—
—but oh man were those stairs neat. And next week, when my assignment comes due (ten 4”x6” prints and two 8”x12” prints, landscapes and architecture) for my class at Portland Community College), some stairs from 1,300 miles away will be included!
(Edit: I’ve capitalized the C in “Community” because apparently I missed it.)
Cool pic.
This could look rad with a square crop. That would allow you to center the stairs and clip that electrical pipe.
I actually included that pipe deliberately, actually. It subtly reinforces the proper depth of the image, and makes the stairs look deeper and taller than they are.
I have takes without the pipe, but they weren’t good enough, in my eyes.
