Face it, everything’s been seen and everything’s been shot. So how do you make a different
picture—especially of changing a light bulb? Climb the Empire State Building!
As maybe Napoleon thought when he invaded Russia, what could go wrong? Plenty. Rain,
fog, ice. I climbed that puppy four times and on the last climb, on the last day, I got a frame.
A bunch of frames really. When the light levels of the bulb and the skyline crossed favorably,
I was just ripping film.
1
I shot 14 rolls of 36 in about 10 minutes, shooting one-handed and
leveraging myself back from the antenna and up above the bulb. Time to trust your ropes!
You know, digital is a beautiful thing. Thinking back, I wish I had an 8-gig card. I changed
out 14 film cassettes up there, and if I had dropped one, I’d be writing from a jail cell.
Woulda killed somebody.
I waited six months, got aced out three times, have a two-inch scar in my scalp from putting
my head into a girder climbing in the fog, really pissed off a bunch of TV stations in New York
‘cause I threw them off the air four separate times (you have to shut down the television signals
up on the antenna or the microwaves will fry you), and
National Geographic
went way over dead-
line waiting for the shot, but I got a double truck
2
in the magazine
.
Because I got my camera in a different place.
1
Ripping Film: Shooting bursts of photos—you just keeping shooting without ever lifting your finger off the shutter. When you do this, a roll of 36
is gone, ripped, in around seven seconds.
2
Double Truck: A double truck is a two-page spread, and photographers love double trucks because you get paid more—more space equals more
dough. It’s that adage: “When you finally get it right—film is the cheapest thing you use.” Pixels are free.
