"Native American steel worker, Louis Deer, a Mohawk Indian from Canada and Monte Farrell whose father helped put up the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and the GW bridge. Monte admits that building towers into the sky is enough to put gray hairs on anyone's head,” . ...the unsung hero of this picture, the photographer, will be his old self again. He had to do his shutter-snapping and film-changing while perched on one of those girders.

“I was really shook,” he said when he came back to earth.
