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.
