Spiral Staircases

I learned about a photographer that grew up in Germany and now travels across Europe in search of abandoned staircases to photograph.

This is my favorite photo because of the leaves on the railing. The photographer creates depth and balance by filling up the frame with the subject, the spiral staircase. The photographer's name is Christian Richter. 

I saw many pictures of spiral staircases that Christian had taken and published in his photo series. These stairs are in buildings that were left abandoned after East Germany reunited with Germany. This website describes a creative use photography that occupies this man's life.
