Palmisano is leading construction on The Higgins Hotel and Conference Center in downtown New Orleans, adjacent to the National WWII Museum.

“The photo shows the progress of the structural-steel framing of the building. The large, top bar of lateral steel weighs 32,000 pounds and had to be hoisted with a 230-ton-capacity crane,” photographer Horton explains. “I hoped to capture the project’s location in relation to the central business district, a prominent area for commerce and the arts.”

Horton took the shot using a Canon EOS Rebel T7i from atop a parking garage adjacent to the site.

“I was drawn to the angles of the steel and concrete shear wall in relation to the surroundings and skyline,” she says.
