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.

If the economy in the popper it is not all that bad, especially if it is one of those kettle corn poppers that make it salty and sweet.

Hello
The photo of the Specialist Broker on the NYSE (the guy in the brown suit looking up) was me on my last day on the NYSE. Thanks for the Journal cover, my parents in Ireland loved it(it's framed on the wall) as did I.
