11 men casually eating, chatting and sneaking a smoke as if they weren’t 840 feet above Manhattan with nothing but a thin beam keeping them aloft. The photographers Charles C. Ebbets, Thomas Kelley and William Leftwichthe photographers Charles C. Ebbets, Thomas Kelley and William Leftwich. I picked this one because I thought it was interesting but it also scared me.

Stanley Forman was working for the Boston Herald American on July 22, 1975, when he got a call about a fire on Marlborough Street. He raced over in time to see a woman and child on a fifth-floor fire escape. A fireman had set out to help them, and Forman figured he was shooting another routine rescue. The photographer was Forman. I chose this photo because crazy how he was able to freeze it and capture the moment.

Leifer had taken that ringside spot in Lewiston, Maine, on May 25, 1965, as 23-year-old heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali squared off against 34-year-old Sonny Liston, the man he’d snatched the title from the previous year. I like this picture because my dad enjoys watching boxing.
