One of the things that’s fun about our jobs as photographers is getting to experience and see things you might otherwise not get access to. One of those things happened this week as we covered the opening day of the new trading floor for the New York Stock Exchange in San Francisco.

We were there towards the end of the trading day so got to be there for the closing bell.
