all the volatility in the markets this week got me thinking of a recent shoot with pete adamson, personal investment manager for oprah winfrey. watching and worrying about the dips, dives and leaps of my very small amount of apple stock, i wondered if the same movements cause exponential angst when you’re managing billions, instead.

jeremy is the manager of new business development for best buy. this is a title that probably means a lot more to you if you’re not a photographer and you work for a real company. to me, it could mean nearly anything. three things i know, though: first, the inside of a best buy store [...]
