This image is another example of "moment." The staircase at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago is the artistic focal point of this modern struture of stone and glass. Looking up into it, the concentric elliptical shapes lead the eye ever upward. I shot this with the 35mm Nikon, hand-held, as part of my exploration of the many textures, forms, and light effects I find compelling at the museum. A woman, dressed in a long black coat, happened to be ascending the staircase when I was ready to shoot. I waited until her hand slid along the railing to the center of the photograhic plane. I came out with this wonderfully geometric, yet fluid image.
