Escape

I think my artistic obsession with fire escapes, particularly those in the city, began after viewing Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. I am fascinated by the differences among fire escapes, the buildings they appear on, who occupies them, etc. Two of the photographs below are from my portfolio and the others appeared online from various photographers. I would go further into detail, but I think the photos speak for themselves and can be interpreted differently for whoever views them. That's the beauty of fire escapes.
