Did you know the identities of the 11 construction workers in this iconic photo above are, to this day, a mystery? The same is true concerning the person who took the photograph. It’s been written that Charles Ebbets, Thomas Kelley, and William Leftwich were present when the picture was taken, but none of the men remembered taking what has become one of the most famous photographs in the world.
The original negative of the photo is hidden away in a massive underground vault somewhere in Pennsylvania, safe from any forms of photographic forensic analyses that might shed light on the image’s credibility. Many folks have wondered through the years whether or not the image is a fake or a genuine depiction of men eating lunch on a steel construction beam high above NYC.
I don’t believe most people realize how windy it likely was at the alleged height the picture was shot and how unlikely it is that this staged photo was taken high above the city as we are led to believe.
While researching dirigible (airship) travel in the Old World, I came across published commentary that describes how windy and unsafe it regularly was for the aircraft (40+ mph wind gusts) that attempted to dock at the top of NYC skyscrapers. It is believed by many Old-World researchers that the tops of such buildings were used as mooring masts or stations for the huge blimps.
The photograph of the men eating lunch high above the city on a steel beam reminds me of the famous Apollo photograph of Earth called The Blue Marble, the only claimed picture of our world that’s not a CGI allegedly taken from an Apollo space capsule by one of three possible astronauts. Amazingly, not one of those crew members could remember who took that iconic picture.
Is the Lunch Atop a Skyscraper photo fake?
It was arranged as a publicity stunt, part of a campaign promoting the skyscraper. The photographic negative is in the Bettmann Archive, owned by the Visual China Group. The image is often misattributed to Lewis Hine, but the identity of the actual photographer remains unclear.

While performing some of the research for our latest book, The Matrix Reloaded Yet Again, I learned that photo manipulation techniques have been in play for far longer than most people might think.

I don’t know for sure if the famous picture is real or not, but there are more than a few strange things associated with the original photo. For one, there are halos visible above a few of the men suggesting at least some sort of photo manipulation.
Additionally, some photo experts question the size or dimensional scale of the city landscape below the men for the reported height (Over 800 feet) connected with the photo.
Knowing what I know now about our obfuscated historical narratives, I wouldn’t put too much faith in the idea that this famous photograph is genuine!

I’m with you Milady!
I first saw that image a couple years ago (hmmm… and maybe even longer ago than that, I’m not sure) and thought much the same thing.
Ain’t no way!
No paint shop pro waaay back when the image was (supposedly) taken. But there was still plenty of photo manipulation tricks going on.
Photo trickery is done today (as was also done then), sometimes whole still inside the darkroom and in the office. But… can also be done with just camera angles and prospective live shots as well.
Seriously thoygh
In my opinion, I don’t believe this photograph to be real. It’s photoshop. Because if it was real, I think that their caps would probably have been blown off their heads, and the papers they’re holding would be flapping about. The winds seem suspiciously calm for that high of an altitude.
Also, I don’t believe these men would be acting so relaxed when one scoot the wrong way would send them plummeting to their death. And these guys act they don’t have a care in the world!
