In the grid with the fella...

In the Grid (By John) (by RGP)

First of all, I can't take credit for this photo.  The fella confiscated my camera for a couple days (and naturally I wanted nothing more than to go out and take photos on those days) and took it to work with him.

This is a view of all the rigging in the grid (above the stage) at Studio 54 in Manhattan.  I thought you all might get a kick out of it.

I am also super impressed with his composition.  He clearly put a lot of thought into this.  Notice how all the cables and lines (including the I-Beams on the side) lead to the off center spot.  Really draws in your eye right into where that light is shining. 

Also love the contrasting horizontal lines of the floor.  Just a superb photo.  All I did was a little post-processing to bump it up (a small crop and a contrast boost).

Hope you enjoy!

This is amazing! He got a great shot of what it's like up there, where the audience never sees. Incredibly complicated, I can't imagine how one begins rigging something without tying themselves in knots. Thanks for posting, and big thanks to your fella for shooting it!

What a great shot. I had no clue that's what it looked like up there.
