Lunch Atop a Skyscraper
My favorite photo of the moment is “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper.” This photo is of a group of construction workers sitting nonchalantly on a beam thousands of feet up in the air, eating lunch in 1932. I first saw this photograph at the wax museum. What struck me about the photo is the big beam slashing across the frame while the tiny buildings run in a vertical direction. The men in the photo seem unconcerned for their safety, and that is fascinating to me because I grew up in a generation where every product that reaches the masses has been tested for safety and everyone worries about safety.
