Quick question
I realise this sounds vague but I hope somebody here will know what I'm talking about.

Does anybody know the name of the photographer that took (amongst others) that amazing photo from the top of a skyscraper in America? The photo was taken from the top of a mast looking down at some maintenance engineers.

Many thanks in advance.

Edit: Looks like this:

Photo taken from above the two guys working on the mast, lots of street scenes very very very far below them.

I don't have the answer either, but you're very well-spoken.

To be even more rude, I'm going to demand an answer.

Have you heard about the Cardiff FC fans who werent allowed tickets for a game
so they hired a fucking airship to watch it from above the ground

( prem1um is full of life, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 21:18, archived)

That's a lie
there aren't any airships around to get enough people in to spread the cost to a low enough hire rate for povvo welshies to afford

My brother's company has a blimp
when they fly it in Texas it gets shot at by the locals.

They have a collection of cross-bow bolts and stuff they've removed from the bottom of it.

That's not it. I'll paint mash a (from-memory) representation. It's a colour photo, possibly from the 80s. I think he also photographed Manhattan taxis in the snow, also from the air.
