Purchase A License To Use This Image Buy A Print Or Product Featuring This ImageWaste, excess and fiscal irresponsibility are some of the concepts explored in this photo of a modern day bucket brigade in which people are throwing buckets of cash at an unseen problem. The people, all dressed in business attire, are in a corporate lobby environment. This is a picture of the desperate attempt to quell a burning problem by drowning it in money. The image draws upon the iconic visual of a bucket brigade fighting a fire and the idiom of "throwing money at a problem" to create a new symbolic image for ineffectual damage control and the wasteful use of money. This can be an image of bailouts and financial rescues.
Throwing money at a problem is generally a term applied to government and large corporations who have access to vast reserves of funds to the extent that good judgement about the use of those monetary assets has been lost. In this case the people involved are hurling those buckets of bucks at some unseen target which serves to pique our curiosity about what that problem might be...and at the same time allows that problem to be anything that the headline or body copy indicates. This becomes a great stock photo for bringing attention to fiscal mismanagement for everything from the federal government to local school boards, and for all types of business scenarios as well. There is ample room for headlines, body copy and text and the image can be cropped vertically, horizontally or as a square. This image relies on humor and uniqueness to add compelling impact to its messages of fiscal issues. Another way to look at this image is as one of teamwork, albeit a team effort that is out of step with the modern world of technology!
This is a picture of cash flow difficulties, asset allocation and corporate or government excess. It can be used to dramatize the need for audits of fiscal controls and revised fiscal policies. This can also be a picture of antiquated or outdated fiduciary controls, the need for more oversight, or the lack of modern digital technology for the flow, control and distribution of financial assets. This is certainly an unusual and unique money picture featuring executives, a corporate lobby, and buckets of money!
