Chrysler Building, New York City, 1930 by Margaret Bourke-White.

Setup for the Chrysler Building photo

Photographer Margaret Bourke-White, former associate editor and staff photographer of Fortune magazine, snapped this amazing close-up of the Chrysler Building Gargoyles in 1930. You can see her death-defying setup as she perches atop the gargoyle to get the shots she needs.
