NYSE Photographer for VENU Opening Bell Ceremony

It’s been almost exactly 10 years since I was the house photographer at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and covering bell ceremonies is a lot more fun now. I photographed the opening and closing bell for NYSE for almost 5 years. Coming back to Wall Street occasionally now is a pleasure. It’s a lot more fun a few times a year rather than 500 times a year. Below are photos of the Venu CEO ringing the opening bell in celebration of the recent IPO.

Alibaba Gateway '17 Conference in Toronto

It's such a great opportunity to work for a client as large and influential as Alibaba, and the access I'm given to Jack Ma is unprecedented, but sometimes its the view of the whole crowd that gives you the real picture of his importance. Here is one of my favorite photos from the past week in Toronto for Alibaba Gateway '`17
