  • The final step in creating the custom bike is the hand assembly of the components.  This is done by four skilled craftsmen.<br />
Basic assembly, such as the wiring of this brake cable is left for humans, not robots.  One worker assembles nearly the entire bike and in the process derives a sense of accomplishment that is often missing from assembly line jobs.

  • World-renowned architect CP Wang of CY Lee & Partners stands in front of Taipei 101, which at 508 meters, stands the tallest building in the world. The jade green bamboo-inspired exterior connotes vigor and sturdiness in Chinese culture. Good idea for a tower that stands 200 meters from a major fault line in a city prone to typhoons. Lee designed eight stories to each of the eight segments because the number "8" signifies prosperous growth. Each segment is shaped like a scepter, with ancient coins on the exterior of the 26th floor to give this modern building a Chinese style.

  • The seven story tall (including below water line decks) 356' expedition yacht, Le Grand Bleu, was owned by an American telecommunications billionaire and sold recently to a wealthy Russian.   The yacht claims  some 34 tenders including a submare, a Land Rover and a 72' (18.28m) sailboat.  She also carries 5 tons of hardwood for seven working fireplaces and has a gimble room with twin beds attached to a F-18 flight simulator so that sea sick guests can ride out a storm while watching movies.   Shown achored at the Aga Khan's resort in Porto Cervo in Sardinia, Italy.

  • Photography is usually one of the professions where, if you do a bad job nobody dies but when I photographed the Chrysler Building there was every chance that if we messed up – statistically someone was going to get hurt.  We fabricated a scaffold with adjustable platforms to mount four motorized Hasselblad cameras and hang it over the edge of the Chrysler Building to get this viewpoint. One of my assistants, a bit of an electronics buff wired all the cameras to a single switching box so I could fire them all with one button. It so happened that the previous tenants had vacated the week before so we had the whole wing of the floor to ourselves.  We strung climbing rope through the windows and around the building as a main lifeline and clipped ourselves onto the line with harnesses.  The whole heavy contraption was lowered and raised about thirty times over rush hour pedestrian traffic some 57 stories above Lexington Avenue as we changed film backs and adjusted exposures and made slight adjustments in camera angles.  Even though we were all roped and harnessed in, if anything fell, say a film back or film slide and hit someone it would have been a disaster.<br />
We photographed the building over several days during a couple of sunsets and sunrises, even at different times of year but the best shot was taken the first day.  It was one of those miraculously rare clear days when the pollution was blown out to sea leaving metropolis looking like it just got out of the bath.  I used Tungsten film to accentuate the blues of magic hour when two divergent spectrums of light, blues and reds, coverag
