I originally entered a black & white version of this shot in the BAPC Honors Program under the assignment heading of “High Key.” It is a naturally light and airy scene so the end result came out pretty good - judged a “Silver” if I remember correctly. I thought I would rework this color version and like the way it came out.
This staircase is on a small two story antique Federalist style house in Anahuac, TX. It is on the outside of the house leading from the first to second story porch - the only access to the second story.
