Renting an apartment in a nine-story building is not a big deal if there is a working elevator. Mine, thankfully, is tiny but useful. I did hoof it up one day, just to see what it was like. Not terrible, but I hope it never becomes necessary. I often walk down the stairs in the morning on my way to a café con leche and croissant at Maribarbola. I decided to photograph the experience for kicks, and noticed how the skylight creates different effects the lower you go, and a tiny little slice on the first floor. I might try this again at high noon with better light to compensate for the fluorescent lighting on the landings. The image is 4' x 5' at 200dpi if you'd like to order a poster version for yourself!Saturday, August 7, 2010
