History[]
Beginnings of his Elevator Interest[]
When he was younger, he remembers liking riding elevators, though he didn't know about how they worked back then. He remembers riding up and down on the scenic elevators at Hilton McLean in McLean, VA for about a few hours.
Discovery of Elevator Photography[]
Most likely in 2008, he searched something like "Elevator" on YouTube. He found a few random elevator videos not filmed by elevator enthusiasts. Then, he found an elevator video from an elevator enthusiast (possibly a video by musicfreakcc of a Dover Oildraulic elevator at Emory Hospital Parking Garage in Atlanta, GA). However, he was scared to film elevators because of security often not allowing photography in buildings.
