Artist's Comments

This is a picture that I took during my visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. I was attracted by the lines that the stairs offered, and while i was preparing the composition, the man started going up the stairs, just in time for me to compose him and press the shutter.

What's the message behind this? well, a message for this could be that you can never be too old to "step up" and keep improving. Proof of this is the people in their 60s who go to colleges, among other examples. If you think of another possible message for this picture, then you are more than welcome to share it.

You're as good with a camera as you are with space scenes! Nice work!

I love the line... It entrances me...

I'll be going to the Met soon, I hope. I'll have to look at the stairs more closely.

is "stairs can look pretty photogenic" a valid message? sometimes beauty can be found in even the most overlooked of things.

Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Reports of _your_ demise have been premature, but accurate.
