Cut n' paste
It would have been a better photo if Ted had Photoshopped out the tripod.
Broke one of the golden rules of photography
Don't get your camera bag or tripod in the picture!
Hitchcockian!
Wonder that Hitchcock didn't shoot a film here.
Stone cutting the treads
Imagine the labor involved in cutting out the 3 rectangular holes for the upright balustrades? 3 per tread x's many. In Sicilian marble too.
Great Ride
Do Supreme Court pages, or Justices in their robes, slide down that railing?
A leg of the photographer's tripod is in the bottom of the frame.
Great Custodial Staff
I visited the SCOTUS building last summer and peered down that stairway; they have managed to get rid of the lettering etched into the floor.
Drip ... drip
There must be leak in the roof. There's a watermark at the bottom.
