This position showed how the workers walked on and off the beam between takes, and how one man always stayed behind to clip off the safety harness of the rest before the next group. It gives the viewer more depth to take in the surrounding support structure. My favorite part is when I noticed the worker clipping men off the harness, putting his hand up for a big high five to his friend.

Here is a great example of all the workers becoming kids again. The plan was to get all the workers to look up at me, on the unfinished top floor which I was laying down on. Instead they all broke out with smiles and laughter. This view served a second purpose as well, giving a sense of depth while zoomed out of the structure. Now you can see how its nearly a strait drop, at the same time the natural ease they have gives a nice balance.

After telling the workers to act natural, I was lucky to see a Father and son hugging on the far right side who work together. The Father was holding his old lunch pale, and at the same moment the man in the red T-Shirt looking up and smiled at me when everyone alts was looking straight. It was a real moment were their personality came out.
