There goes my 401k

So I took this picture the day the market tanked about 4%… Little did I know it had a lot further to go! Needless to say, this was shot down on wall st. I added a little prop dollar bill so it has some meaning/context (otherwise it would just be yet another stock exchange photo). When confronted with a familiar scene such as this, I’d always like to throw in something to make it more interesting. I can think of lots ideas for this shot. This was shot at 14mm and at an angle to emphasize chaos.

2008 was a difficult year indeed. All that being said I still made 2.5% on my 401k.
