Staircases and Crime Scenes

The photography of Maria Levitsky:

I would guess that this artist is from New Hampshire based upon some of the titles of her photographs, irregardless, according to her website, she has an upcoming exhibit in NYC at Deborah Berke and Partners Architecture studio.

Of particular interest to me are her collections of staircases (all man-made: some indoors and some outdoors) crime scenes (a collection of photographs recovered from a fire at a police precinct: so eerie and intriguing), and large structures (also very creepy feeling to this collection, as if these photos just appeared in a darkroom somewhere after developing themselves out of necessity).

The composition of her work is breathtaking, amazing lighting and perfect balance of grays, enjoy.
