As usual, I was going about the city checking out whatever happened to strike my fancy. I happened upon this old rundown building (natch) and started photographing the interior, paying particular attention to the stairwell.
I had a feeling about this particular shot. So I got rid of the most obvious visual cues to its original orientation, turned it upside down, and it became quite disorienting. There were moments while I was playing with the image when I actually became confused as to which direction was the true "up".
Then I got the bright idea of reversing the chiaroscuro, and the confusion became compounded.
Because the first image is actually the upside-down version of the original shot. I'll wager at least some of you reading this didn't realize that, or at least weren't sure.
