Well, A house 2 up from me has been empty for about a year and I explored it. It's a NICE 4 bedroom, 1.25 bath house with an unfinished attic that smelled AWESOME. So here is one of the shots, taken from the floor in the main foyer. This house is a nice late 1800's era building.

| | | | Meh. I see far worse shots on here every day, but this is just boring. And what the hell is a .25 bathroom, a bidet?
Sometimes I take shots like this when I go out. I almost always delete them and give myself thirty lashings as punishment, and then hate myself for several weeks to follow.

| | | | Taking a flat tripodish photo is good for singling out details or patterns or converging lines of perspective, but if you're going to try taking photos from a weird angle then you should maybe try capturing something new about the scene/objects in your frame. In this case you were still front-on to the staircase, it just looks like someone took a regular photo and tilted it sideways. There's nothing new here.
I think the aim is not to just take photos just with the camera on a new angle, it's to photograph the objects you're looking at from a new angle. It's a subtle but crucial difference. You want to discover something new about what you're photographing, find a way of looking at it that goes deeper than a casual glance, highlight different details than the obvious, explore different spatial relationships. You're looking for a new story to tell about what you see.
Maybe in the case of a set of stairs like this instead of trying to photograph the stairs as an object you could try capturing a sense of the stairs as a pathway, or try capturing the down/dark vs. up/light relationship, or following the perspective of the bannister instead of the entire stairs, or looking at the juxtaposition of that dark doorway in the lower right to the lighter doorway at the upper right, or all the diverging angles just above the top left corner of that lower doorway.
Show us something new, man.
Caveat: I'm a terrible photographer and I might be talking completely out of my ass, take what you will from this post.

lol. In this case, a .25 bath is a closet that used to have a water heater. The heater was removed and a toilet installed. No sink, just a toilet, a light, and a ventalation fan.
Mmmm, 30 lashes. Good advice. I'll have to think on that.
