# Staircase Image Carousel

> Staircase image carousel for React: the selected photo sits level at full size with its title, earlier photos step up and later ones step down, and the strip glides between steps on a spring with a blurred title swap. Dark stage, keyboard arrows and swipe, reduced-motion aware. Use for travel galleries, portfolios and editorial photo sets.
