A pair of tourists make their way down the staircase leading from the viewing platform at the Dam project’s vistors center. I wanted to stress the height of the overlook by emphasizing the long walk down. To do this, I used my 24mm wideangle converter lens, and took a vantage point placing the camera’s lens right next to one of the hand railings. That railing is the key to this photograph. Its emphatic thrust make it seem as if the stairway is extremely long. Yet these people are only a about a dozen steps above me. The low sweeping vantage point has created distortion that makes my point. The camera is not communicating truth here. Rather, it communicates a feeling that essentially suggests an idea, rather than recording a fact.
