Another beautifully done post Marcelo… I guess those steps can take us to the darkness even though they are going up instead of down. I would say a stairway to Heaven, but it seems to go deeper into the darkness… but then, you know I will probably always give every piece of work a “different” interpretation than most others. LOL Hope you are well my friend! 😀

  You are right, I sometimes get the impression that all the ways lead to darkness.

Cruzar una puerta, mirar a través de una ventana, ahora subir una escalera. Tus imágenes son una misteriosa invitación a hacer algo, a descubrir. Yo subo la escalera. Quiero saber que puedo encontrar cuando suba el último escalón, si es que existe, claro.

I do like this image. The excellent execution I have come to expect from your work. And best of all the story. I alway look for the story and there is one here that I need to ponder.

  Every picture must tell a story by itself.
  Allowing the viewer to express their own interpretation is part of the artistic experience and it creates an enriching dynamic between your intentions and their perceptions.

Such a great image … the obvious parts of course, but also the leaves on the ground, the cigarette butt on the stair, the curve of the handrail … wonderful! (and I love the Led Zeppelin lyrics, too) 🙂

I have no words … this image is incredibly strong. Melancholic and “heavy”.

C’est l’image 57 c’est drôle car jusqu’à aujourd’hui mon âge était 57 ans et oui je change de chiffre aujourd’hui 58 et cela ne me dérange pas du tout. Je suis beaucoup plus heureuse que lorsque j’ai eu 20 ans. 🙂
