p.1 #1 · #466 Spiral shell

This has been haunting me since I made this image. I have been wanting to replace the staircase because of all the dialog about sprial vs helix.
I hope it is not to late

My final entry.

Thanks for looking,
Carolyn

I very nice staircase in what is obviously a grand building. The mono gives the image an old fashioned look. I think full colour wouldn't have been so attractive. A really nice image.

The only nit I have is that it's a helix, not a spiral.

It's a lovely photo in B+W!

I thought I saw it up in color for a moment... then it desaturated before my eyes! If you had a naked woman draped over this you would have this week's winner, for sure! ;-)

I also just read the title of your photo, "built without a nail". Wow! That's all joinery?! True carpentry is a lost art these days. What church is that? I'd like to see more of it.

It's beautiful, even if it's only a helix from this PoV.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I would like to see this shot with a longer, faster lens, wide open, to get rid of the surrounding distractions.

Since this is a church I don't think that will go over so well...but thanks for the idea.
