I've got a bit of a thing for winding staircases. There is something mesmerizing about venturing through helical passageways -- the spiraling twists and turns, the escalating anticipation as you ascend, and the vertigo of acceleration as you descend. Grand entrances, kisses, arguments, fights, chases, final farewells... everything just seems more dramatic and intense within a stairwell.
I've been collecting photos of staircases and stairwells to frame or compile into a coffee table book someday. Here are a few of my favorites.
