"The best antidote for fear is competence. If you can make yourself competent, then you're not just relying on fear, but you're actually a person who can do this thing. And if you are competent, not only can you do this thing, but you can relax while you're doing it."
- Chris Hadfield

Edward Steichen’s “The Maypole (Empire State Building)”
Edward Steichen was born on this day in 1879. In addition to being a photographer himself, Steichen was Director of MoMA’s Department of Photography and curated the museum’s popular exhibition The Family of Man. Steichen took this photo of the Empire State Building a year after its construction ended, and used two separate negatives to create the photograph’s dizzying effect.
