It can, but it need not. There must be some correspondence between the images, but I think it is not even necessary for the photographer to fully understand the work. And there is more. Images are much more ambivalent than words normally are, even when specifically made to mean exactly one thing. They may trigger different things in different minds. In other words: Just do it :) I don’t think that a photobook must have a blunt message. It can, but it need not.

You're right, the light falls in through the second window, from the left. And there are more windows on the left, one on each floor all the way to the top floor. Thanks, Markus!

First I thought about a reflection until I realized that strong light coming through the 2nd window. Straightforward and definitely working for me. A really striking image.

Those dark windows were lighter in reality, but a darkened them to put them more in the shadows. Interesting observation you made there, also. I have not thought about it, that I have been working with pictures in this particular way. But you right, I have done this, unconsciously I'm afraid. On Flickr, I have tagged many of those with 'reflections'. That is definitely an area for me to explore more consciously. Thanks a million for this clever observation, Anita.

You are so right that the harsh light worked in your favor. The dark windows on the left side make the entire image that much more mysterious. Now, I want to see what is inside those as well. You have been investigating mysteries,illusions,and the pulling back of curtains recently. It has been a joy to follow your exploration. This does seem to be a strong candidate for a SoFoBoMo project. The story I got was actually what lies behind the facade. You are so right that the harsh light worked in your favor.

This reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear window.....voyeurism and murder....not much better, but a bit more cultural. :-) Thanks, Earl.

The stairs being so brightly lit imparts a sense of voyeurism or being a "peeping tom"--like a photo taken through a window at night with the inside room illuminated. I wonder what this says about me? LOL ;-) Ove, what a striking image.
