At 9:30 a.m. they held a special commemorative moment on the 9/11 Memorial Glade to honor all the rescue, recovery and relief workers and those who are sick or have died from 9/11-related illnesses.

Alibaba IPO at the New York Stock Exchange

I can’t believe this IPO was 6 years ago now. I don’t own any of the photos from my time at the New York Stock Exchange, but lots of them got used in the press and put out into the world as handouts so occasionally I’ll see one being used in the press. This photo of Jack Ma on the trading floor is one of my favorites from the time I spent at NYSE.

Naomi Campbell, Tyson Beckford, Kylie Minogue, Foxy Brown and Lee Daniels

It’s nice to get google search results that reminds me of work in the past and that people used to congregate and get close enough for a photo like this. I remembered Kylie Minogue and Naomi Campbell being together, but not Foxy Brown and Tyson Beckford as well. Some days I miss working more than others!
