Matt BlazeFire Escape, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, 2025.
All the pixels, no fire required to see them, at https://www.flickr.com/photos/mattblaze/54481107849
Captured with the Rodenstock 70mm/5.6 HR-Digiron-W (@ f/6.3) lens. Phase One IQ4-150 back (@ ISO 50), Cambo WRS-5005 Camera (shifted vertically -22mm, pushing the limits of the lens). 16x9 crop.
This fire escape stairwell, recently retrofitted onto the back of Georgetown's Healy Hall, reminded me a bit of a Piet Mondrian painting. Hard afternoon shadows added to the abstract view.
Karl Auerbach@mattblaze When was this designed, 1920s? It so much looks like some of those cool toys from that era, the ones made of metal with friction spark generators.
I get the feeling that above the photo is a huge airship.
@karlauerbach Maybe 10 years ago? It's new!
Bernard Sheppard@mattblaze @karlauerbach is this one new to the fediverse? I don't think that I have seen it before. I like it.
That said, I like almost every photo that you post - including the ones that I have seen several times before (which says a lot about the composition of them) but this seems to be an unseen gem.
@BernardSheppard @karlauerbach I'm not sure if I've posted this before. Quite possibly, but not totally sure.
Glad you like it.
