The New York Stock Exchange building, draped with its American flag, is forever barricaded with a security perimeter. Federal Hall, a national landmark at 26 Wall Street is freely accessible for posing for pictures next to a statue of George Washington. And on this evening, a challenge for some skate board runs.
To add a bit more of the color Red to the Wall Street of 2008 crisis and to raise the visual blood pressure of this 360 panorama, I walked around the night scene adding bursts of red illumination to highlight some of the buildings and also to back-light people so long shadows were cast. The effect was created by firing a hand held strobe covered with some red acetate film as I triggered the camera with a wireless remote.
