266/365 Elevator to Heaven

Hot! In Photo Challenge: Elevators

by Regenia Brabham

Uploaded 30 Oct 2009 — 55 favorites

This theme is a big challenge when you live in a tiny town with only one story buildings. I drove to Macon and asked the library if I could use theirs. They were nice enough to let me hang my sign and the patrons patiently waited while I got my shot.
I don't know where the idea came from. It just popped in my head and I knew it had to be done.

yup, dig it. lol at the one story town, but worth the ride. It's always interesting how something will come to mind that refuses to be ignored. I like this, simple,straightforward, and a thousand word essay unto itself.

Regenia Brabham said (31 Oct 2009):
I am so glad you all like this. Creating the buttons was the hardest part. Getting the courage to ask permission to use the elevator wasn't too bad. That is my lens cap in my pocket Charles. I never pay attention to the fact it is in my pocket anymore. It is almost an involutary movement now. LOL.

Your so creative Regenia, this is great! Like you, living in a small town where there is only one building with lifts, I'll have to find something when I go to Melbourne next week!
Ron LaFond gave props (2 Nov 2009):
I really love the "buttons, Regenia. It's funny how "resentment" is just below center. It's resentment that leads to selfishness then anger then hate then hell. I love the sentiment. R
