height

when asked why he did it, his first response was "there is no why". philippe petit. nutter. artist. frenchman. need i say more? i recently saw the doccy 'man on wire' and aside from the constant nausea i was absolutely fascinated. on the 7th of august 1974 he walked - or rather performed- on a wire rigged between the tops of the twin towers. 110 floors. 415m high. for over 45 minutes. lets be honest - heights are not my strong point. i get woozy just knowing i am 5 floors up. why the mention? well the movie was charming to say the least. beautifully told. captivating. you cant help but love this man. these photos featured in the film. magical.
