The number of coronavirus-related deaths in New York City is alarming. Because of this, there have reportedly been more mass burials on Hart Island than ever. Photographer George Steinmetz was recently documenting a burial ditch on Hart Island with his drone, which put him in legal trouble. His drone was confiscated by the police and he was issued a Desk Appearance Ticket.
This photographer climbed the spire of One World Trade Center to shoot photographs and 360° video
For most sane and rational people, being invited to climb the spire at the top of One World Trade Center to photograph the view would probably result in a flat out “no”. For others, it’s definitely a “yes“, “sure“, or “absolutely!“, even when not entirely legal.
But when professional mountaineer and photographer Jimmy Chin is asked to do exactly that on assignment for the New York Times, it results in some amazing imagery, and a great 360° mini-documentary.
