Re: PAW PESO - Spare some sex?

[Paul Stenquist]

Have you spent much time in California? There are many reasons why you 
see so many homeless in California, but two of them are prominent: the 
weather is well suited to being homeless and they are well taken care 
of in many California cities. For example, In Santa Monica the homeless 
are fed in the park on a regular basis and are allowed to sleep there 
or on the beach. The same is probably true in some of the more liberal 
bay area cities. The bottom of society is there in part because the 
people who live there are tolerant of the bottom of society. I'm not 
sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but it's nowhere near as 
black and white as you make it sound.

OTOH the photo bothers me profoundly. To me it epitomizes California, 
that and the Holywood tinsel seems to be all there is out there. The 
bottom of society and the fake. It says too much too clearly, and at 
the same time leaves me feeling helpless to do anything about it. Our 
society sucks and the most a photo like yours does is let some 
do-gooders punish people like those in the photo because it makes them 
feel just like it does me, but they are not honest enough to admit 
that they helped make the problems, we all did.

I think in most cases the web image should be cropped the same as 
the print. The exception might be where there is interesting detail 
that gets lost in a small image. Perhaps the ideal solution in 
regard to your "Spare some sex" image would be a larger file. My web 
posts are generally 13 inches on the long side at 72dpi. That's 
still viewable without scrolling on all but the stingiest monitors.
