This is a picture I took of a bank of elevators at Drexal University. I liked a lot about the image... The starkness... The sculptural sconces... The image in general.

It reminds me of walking into the unknown because the doorways are dark. So dark you can't see anything inside.. Its like all the light -- life -- has been absorbed once you step inside.

But is darkness so fearsome? It's like the future. Your perception of whats beyond your ability to see is what gives the light... Is not knowing a scary thing? Or is it exciting? Something to look forward to? A positive new level to reach?

Not knowing where you are going is the way life is... Why not meet it with joy? Why not see it as opportunity? Why not step into the unknown, sure that when the doors open and the future clears that it will be bright ... and good... and secure?

What do you have to lose?


This card was done a bit different than most. First it had more digital mumbo-jumbo than I normally do. And it is also embossed rather than glazed with acrylic sealer... It makes the card very thick -- but more delicate.
