"Lunch Atop A Skyscraper"



This is one of my favorite photographs.  It is a famous image of steelworkers having lunch on a beam high above the streets of New York.  They were working on the GE Building at Rockefeller Center.  For years many have wondered who these men were.  Many others have claimed they were family members.  Recent research has uncovered some of the story.  Read more about it at Smithsonian.com:  http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/Lunch-Atop-a-Skyscraper-Photograph-The-Story-Behind-the-Famous-Shot-170513696.html
