Photo of the Day (7/2/2006)


Cinematographers never tire of using the spiral staircase in film. And photographers use them a helluva lot as well. But usually they are shot in a stark black and white, with an artsy kind of feel suggesting confusion or torment. Not here. Of course, I imagine this was shot with less artistic intent than the kind of photos I’m talking about, but the color here, the orangey light and the guy in the mid-foreground. Very cool. The shot comes from Kouiskas who says it is a picture of his friend at his flat in Marseille.
