Granada Theater, Above It All

The second shot on this blog is one many see by simply purchasing a ticket to a performance at the Granada Theater in Santa Barbara, CA. What many do not see is in the first shot, the grid that sits above the stage, and supports everything hoisted above each performance. By strapping a line to five of the steel rods, one can suspend 1 ton of weight. Hopping around with my union escort between gaps that I could have easily fallen through, I felt privliged to take part in this shoot.  Seven floors up, 6-12 inch gaps every step, this was a special site to see and the engineering involved in this space was………awesome. I loved taking this shot!
