This photo is called Lunchtime atop a Skyscraper. The mystery behind this photo is that no one is 100% sure who took it. Many believe that is was Charles C. Ebbets, but Thomas Kelly and William Leftwhich were also present that day. This photo was taken in 1932 during the Depression. I chose this photo because it shows tranquility of some of the several workers that worked during the construction of the Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. It draws attention to the eye immediately because people are casually eating and smoking while being 840 feet above the city. The way they are laughing and hunched over makes the photo even more eye catching. This photograph gives a clear vision of New York and affirms the romantic belief that New York is a place unafraid and will tackle any project. It shows the New Yorkers are down for anything and they tend to go with the flow always.
