I love this picture. It’s not nearly as risky as ‘Lunch Atop a Skyscraper,’ but I wonder what health and safety experts would say today about 30 models posing on window frames and a photographer hanging from a fire escape.

Thank you for posting in this particular category, Riette. Your image tells me the following story; “The movement portrays urgency to get away from something, or someone to protect her baby, thus allowing her baby the opportunity of a new beginning”.
