Description Don't complain, I like the title. And I've always viewed Skyscrapers as metal mosters. Not really in a negative sense though. This is one of many shots that I'm scanning in from my trip to NY. The model is Scarlett, she's a NY native. Image is clean scan. Oh and btw, the other side of the edge is a 24 story drop. My husband who was with us had to leave, he couldn't watch her get up there like this without support. Myself... just prayed a good gust of wind didn't come along and happy as a little lark that she was brave enough to perch up on the ledge.

This portrait really made me stop and look. Very compelling, love the angle of the shot. Also loved the hairstyle, facial expression, and attire of the model. Awesome!!

This has been one of my favorite wallpapers for years, but could never remember where I found it.

As I was resizing it to fit on my iPhone I decided it was time to try and track it down.

your idea and shots-- superb..

I keep going back looking at this photoshoot, and I'm amazed each time- once from your idea, second from Scarlett brave and third just from Scarlett, she is so unique-and I don't think I'v seen any thing like her before, posses from another sphere.

williambriceking [2007-03-20 23:17:16 +0000 UTC]

this is my first coment. I'm very impressed, I think a lot of people go for a depressed setting with black and white, or a dramatic... this is another perspective, fun. Great all around, and a very stunning model.

keep up the good work,

Brice

glatisaunt [2006-07-26 16:08:16 +0000 UTC]

for the courage of the model, and her flexibility... but of course also for you! I love this shot, how you put it down... whit a nice study of the position of your model and of the landscape.. the river just go so well whit the position of her right leg... the small building on the left and the big building of the right give a parallelisme of model and background (you make it by study.. or just a case?) anyway great shot!!!
