— Humza Deas, a 17-year-old photographer, upon watching a video of daredevils scaling the 2,073-foot Shanghai Tower — which then inspired him to start climbing New York bridges and skyscrapers to take pictures. Deas shares the images on Instagram, where he has more than 26,000 followers. And he s not the only daredevil: The number of outlaw Instagrammers out there reportedly is rising. How are they different from so-called urban explorers? According to New York Magazine, urban explorers take photos to show they ve been at a certain location; to the outlaws, it s all about the images they produce.
