I pushed the ISO upwards from 160 to 1000ish just to experiment.. the film was expired anyways.

stair climbing film would be an abomination!

sucks that this got ripped great image though!

A large portion of my wedding photos got ripped and used for advertising by some other company... they didn't even remove my name

you want me to critique this?? what on earth for? it's GREAT! i just love the chrome feeling tones to this, and your perspective on world shines through with such strength, yet again! you've chosen the elements of the image with thought it seems; right down to the title!

my only interest would be to see this photo taken from a lower angle, or even with a fish eye lens? just to see if you can add to the shape of the view.

i just love your work hun

i'd like to see this place in person, are you giving tours?
this is some sweet art and the fact that it's offered up for free tells me the artist was working for the pure love of creating.

excellent photo, you captured the mood and set everything off perfectly. love the tone of those buildings, the grunge and the depression era styling.
very sweet indeed.

I love this shot! From this angle, one of the graffitti figures looks three dimensional, as if she's walking out of the wall!

Nice angle, it reminds me of the back of some apartment building on the USA...
Well I say this due to the images that we get on television through the movies
