PHOTO SHOOT: Cable Installation for Historic Niagara Falls High Wire Walk


During six days in June, 2012, I was contracted to capture crews installing, securing and dismantling the 1800-foot span of custom manufactured wire rope for Nik Wallenda’s historic walk across Niagara Falls. This post contains excerpts from those photo shoots.
