Economic Woes
Yesterday I was out shooting the turbulent economy for the Wall Street Journal. Morning started at 630 at the corporate headquarters of Lehman Brothers, the over century-and-a-half old financial services firm that filed the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history. My job was to make pretty/interesting photos of the headquarters.
Afterward, I went down to the floor of the stock exchange to take more pictures. Which meant I had to wear a jacket and tie, blah! Then to the New York Mercantile Exchange, and back to the NYSE floor for the closing bell. It turned out I shot the worst drop in the Dow Industrial since 9/11.
It seems our economy is in the pooper. Crap.

FRINGE
I had a fun assignment a little over a week ago on the set of FOX’s new drama “FRINGE”…Since it just published in the paper, I can finally post up some phoos….and no better day then the show’s premiere night.
I really get a kick out of how television and movies are produced, so every time I’m on a set I really just take it in. I’m a TV show junkie, so I love to see behind the scenes and how the shows are created, not to mention getting to interact with the actors and production staff on the set.
What was fun was walking into hair and makeup and and seeing an actor lying on the ground and realizing he’s playing a corpse undergoing an autopsy. Gnarly! The best was him walking through the line for dinner.
