The intersection of Wall and Broad Streets in lower Manhattan is one of the most historic corners in the city. The site of George Washington’s first inaugural, the New York Stock Exchange, and the 1920 Wall Street bombing, the corner is a magnet for tourism. I try to express some of the turbulent activity, including the ever-present photographers, here in this early morning image. The man walking through a plume of steam, with the former J.P. Morgan building in the background, anchors my photograph. Thirty-eight people were killed in the 1920 bombing and the Morgan building was heavily damaged. Today, heavy steel gates secure the area, and the Morgan building is being converted to luxury condos.
