That's a cool composition Matthew, very stark and captivating.

Thanks Bruce. I'm in my 'minimalist' period!

Thank you, alala

Ryan Calhoun, on September 11, 2007, said:

I agree, it's very simple and beautiful for it. I'm surprised by how high it is with no doors to get to it. If it only connects to the roof, what you do if you're on the middle floor? Strange.

Matthew Walters, on September 12, 2007, said:

Thanks Ryan. I can explein the 'strangeness' - the buidling is a giant aircraft hangar, there are no internal floor.

Have a look here for an aerial view.

Good shot, Matthew. I enjoy the geometry and the starkness of the black and white effect. - Hank.

Thanks, I like the two sets of repeating patterns.

Sarah Graham, on March 23, said:

Lovely, Matthew. I was here yesterday & saw this fire escape too, but had my 4 year-old to contend with & didn't have time to compose it properly! You've done it just brillaintly!

Matthew Walters, on March 23, said:

Thanks Sarah. Did you ever manage to find a suitable kid's camera? I ended up buying a cheap(ish) Pentax from Max Spielman.

Sarah Graham, on March 24, said:

Hi Matthew,

I bought a second-hand Canon Powershot S50 in the end because I had one a couple of years ago & it took great photos & seemed very tough. My son loved it & really enjoyed taking photos, but one day he dropped it onto a stone floor & has not been quite the same since. It works very intermittently & is unreliable. I'm looking for a replacement model at the moment & may well buy the same again.

Which Pentax did you opt for & has it been well received (& used?)

All best,

Sarah
