A unusual question Colin, I wonder why you ask this question.

So he can find another niche to pander to, other than becoming just another lame
wedding or graduation photographer? Then becoming just another commercialized
rote & role photographer of another sort. This way he can get the ideas from
others without admitting he's going to open a business geared to that role.
Someone who has always lacked creativity must depend on the creativity of
others.

On the other hand, I think it would be fun to do group-shot captures of the
expressions on every stock-brokers' + clients' faces as all their life's work
disappeared into nothingness right before their very eyes. Their harsh awakening
from the myth that their own society's values beguiled upon them. After all,
money only has as much value as you believe it to have. Stop believing in it and
currency just becomes what it has always been, pre-ruined paper. Nothing but a
waste of good rag-bond paper, now worth less than the more useful original blank
paper. I suppose you could bleach them all out to make them useful again. A nice
stack of rag-bond Post-It notes with a "WHAT DO I DO NOW?!?" printed in the top
margin. :-)

This would be a nice way to photographically document the ending of the
relatively modern money-myth that is destined to evolve into the next era of
human invented myth. People can't live without myth, it's a requirement of the
species. Religion myths die, money myths die, nationalism myths die ... what
shall they all psychotically worship next ...


Maybe
you can start the ball rolling by telling us of a life-changing moment
that you have experienced.
