A couple weeks back I was at the New York Stock Exchange for some meetings/events, and they were like "let's update your formal pic that you use for things, that's from 2022". So we do the classic "let's take a slick pic under the NYSE bell, the literal heart of capitalism" photo. Because that'll make it all professional and such. The problem is, whenever I smile, I inherently look like I'm trolling. Regardless of the setting, it looks like I'm just there for the lolz. So the pic seems kind of unusable for formal stuff. Fun for Nostr, though. image

You kinda looked photoshopped in 😂 I'd use it for formal stuff, why not
Yeah, makes sense. Anywhere people are shown on camera needs to be lit properly. A fun fact about CNBC is that the cameras and lighting for all of their studios nation-wide can be controlled from the Englewood HQ
You are right about “trolling” 😆 nice pic anyway 🤟🤟
Solid left ear opsec, unlike some recent prominent YouTube thumbnails (altered).
You were probably thinking, "So this is where all the printed money ends up... nice bell by the way". I like the photo.
