  1. NYT Magazine does such a great job all the time.
    The photos are very nice in the way they are trying to reference iconic images from the past although some are too similar (man turning wrench).

  2. fantastic

  3. What an absolutely FABULOUS visual opportunity! Beautiful spread. Thanks so much for sharing.

  4. I don’t have a fear of hieght as long as I have something substantial under my feet. But some of the images I think would push that boundry over the edge.

  5. Like.

  6. Great subject nicely shot.
    Diggit.

  7. Beautiful work. I also like how the magazine is displayed within the post.

  8. Reminds me of the famous Charles Ebbets images of the 1930s.

  9. Wherever Damon Winter goes and whatever he shoots he brings home the bacon, thick sliced, sugar cured.
    He’s got gonads as big as his eyes or vice versa.

  10. reminds me of the images of the sky scrapers being built in the 1920s and 30s. Damon Winters really knows how to capture the emotion of a scene and make us feel like we were there. Good spread of images too.

  11. Must be a dream come true to create (in line with the pictorial history of this sort of shot) images like this; and on such an important project too!

    Congratulations; could NEVER happen for me, there is no-way I would be going up there!!!

    Great story, thanks for the post.
