cityliving Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Probably photoshopped, there is no way these people can have access to the rooftops of these buildings. Edited April 4, 2022 by cityliving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I follow a bunch of these guys on IG. There are guys that do this all around the U.S. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityliving Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) That sounds very risky and dangerous, I’m surprised that they aren’t in jail for trespassing, especially since they posted a story on the chronicle and gave away their name and what they do, I’m sure the police and security will be on the lookout for them now. It’s not something that I would do just to get attention on social media. Edited April 4, 2022 by cityliving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It consists of drone footage over downtown at night interspersed with these guys and girls hanging off the edges of buildings. I wish I could find it again. It's very well done.

A decent number of my photography acquaintances do this and I've heard some pretty crazy stories of trying to avoid security after being spotted. I'm too old for all that nonsense though, that's why I have a drone :) 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEES?! Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) How do they not get seriously hurt/killed if, say, a strong gust of wind blows in? From the top of a high rise building, that has to be dangerous AF. that’d be my #1 fear lol Edited April 9, 2022 by BEES?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I love this photograph! The way it captures APO is amazing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 APO is just amazing! I wonder why no leasing activity on the ground floor? You'd think one of these class-a, trendy, Houston restaurant groups would be the first to occupy. *and I wish there was indeed a scrolling screen like the renderings had once suggested. If not a scrolling, moving, screen maybe just a large painting? It would be nice to see something colorful in the background of the (dark) glass facade.
