Picture from life.com, taken by Spencer Platt 9/22/11

This picture was taken Thursday as stock markets in both Europe and the US took a dive. Perspective plays a big role in this picture, as focus singles out the one single investor in the foreground. By blurring the background and isolating this one stock trader, we are more apt to interpret the reaction and the complexity of emotion involved. Additionally, by displaying the relatively normal disposition of those around this one stock trader, we are able to more fully understand the the isolated pain of those who were hit the hardest.
