(2001) I took this photo of my then boss in the middle of him laying me off. He sold the small design studio (that I joined right after graduating college) to a larger company, and cashed out. I told him it was a day I needed to remember after taking the shot. Like many small companies at that time, their workforce grew rapidly after I joined in 1999, not because more projects were coming in to justify it, but because showing growth itself became a valuable asset.
