Escalators/Moving Walks Pictorial
Oct 1, 2013
A seemingly endless system of custom-built ThyssenKrupp Elevator escalators in the MyZeil shopping mall in Frankfurt, Germany: nine units can be seen in this photo (ELEVATOR WORLD, October 2010; photo by Mario Anke).
ELEVATOR WORLD was happy to receive such a positive response to its inaugural photo contest this year. While the winners were featured in our August issue in five categories, we felt the “Escalators/Moving Walks” category was particularly strong and warranted extra recognition as part of this month’s focus topic. For a more complete view of this year’s outstanding submissions, visit the Photo Contest gallery at website: www.elevator world.com/photocontest.
We would like to take this opportunity to encourage aspiring industry photographers to start taking pictures now. EW will begin accepting submissions again in February 2014.
