Wall Street
These are two artistic photos regarding Wall Street printed with the Aftershocks story, front page of Outlook in the Washington Post on Sunday. The first is by Stan Honida/Getty Images. It really gives the sense of chaos and that whirling, out-of-control, dizzying sensation that the activity on the New York Stock Exchange has had of late.

Optical Illusions
I loved this post from the Crooked Brains Blog regarding illusions. What a creative way to take pictures. I thought it fitting after September 11th to post this picture, originally by Michael Hughes in 1999 of the Twin Towers as depicted in a postcard that is transposed over what is no longer there — before they collapsed. Check out the art archives for more interesting photos that will wow you — especially that cork mural. NOW I know what to do with all those corks that I’ve been saving.
