In 2000, Vincent Laforet climbed to the top of the Empire State Building to shoot some maintenance workers fixing the iconic skyscraper’s antenna.

“When people hear this story… they call me crazy. The real scary part about the walk up was that there were 14 million watts of radio/TV waves coming from the top of the Empire State Building—you’re not supposed to stand up too long, or you may never have kids… My pager was going off non-stop… And then it was windy—and I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that the tower sways when it’s windy… just to add to the fun.”
