jana 1 Posted July 2, 2005 Naim, impressive, I love the EXIT sign, it gives the picture some mystery. The composition is great as well. May I suggest more interesting title to give the photograph the final touch. Hoe do you like "expelled from Paradise" ? cheers jana Link to comment
nozturk 0 Posted July 2, 2005 Thanks Jana. I gave the title STAIRWAY (to Heaven?) thinking of Jacob's Ladder. In the Biblical story Jacob sees in his dream a ladder, whose top reaches heaven. with angels descending and ascending on it. The metaphor of Jacob's Ladder is in a way inverted in this picture, because the stairway is descending down and then leading into light. But the sign says EXIT, so it might be that the light down the stairs is not really the light of Heaven. There is an ambiguity here and I guess it is best to leave it to the viewer's imagination to decide what it means, if anything... Well, on second thought, how about "Jacob's Ladder" as a more interesting title? Link to comment
