I walked around Government Center, taking some forgettable pictures of the geometric patterns of the plaza. Then, I came upon the following scene in a nearby window well: http://www.2alpha.com/~pklein/oldpics/homeless72.htm We didn't call them "homeless" then. The usual terms were "winos" or "bums." This file is rather big (168 K), but I lost texture in lower JPG quality. If you switch your browser to full screen mode, you can see the entire picture on a 1024x768 monitor. This is also my first time messing with levels in Photoshop rather than Irfanview. - --Peter Klein Seattle, WA
