A Picture is Worth...

Throughout the news coverage of this recent upheaval in the global financial market, I must say I'm positively impressed with the photography. A phrase along the lines of 'Market Turmoil' or 'Financial Meltdown' is usually accompanied with an image of some poor sap who saw most, if not all of his unknowledgable client's assets vanish faster than when the Millenium Falcon jumps into hyperspace.

Its no easy task to capture an image that can connote misery, anguish, dourness, and all the other synonyms meaning extremely sad and/or depressed. Look at this unlucky fellow...



He's looking at the screen, hoping in vain that someone will bop him on the head and tell him, "this was all a dream... you can wake up now..." He stands there like a monument while thinking, "how did it come to all this... My life was so good before...what on earth is happening to me?"

My utmost admiration goes out to the people in charge of matching the headlines with the photos. Keep up the good work!
