The best photos taken are ones that cannot be retaken. They are spontaneous and the photographer will not be aware of the wonderful outcome of their shot. That is why it is essential to always have your camera charged, bringing your li-42b camera charger with you everywhere!
Take the photo above for example. Imagine Charles C. Ebbets’s camera battery had died when he reached the top of the skyscraper. One of the most iconic photos in history would not have been taken. Shot during the construction of the RCA building, the photograph captures eleven men eating their lunch on a girder 69 floors high. The photo appeared in the New York Herald Tribune on October 2nd 1932. ‘Lunch atop a Skyscraper’ has often been misattributed to Lewis Hine who documented the construction of the Empire State Building in 1931. There is a compositional resemblance between the work of Ebbets and that of Hine but thematically they are dissimilar.
