Thanks, Marnie, I haven't really said much to those who say he doesn't look like a down-and-outer, but my take is the same as yours. The big rip in the pants, the huge rubber boots, what looks like a bedroll on his backpack, the rather old looking bike that was never good quality to begin with, the coffee mug hanging from his belt, the huge (but cheap - this ain't no Kryptonite hardened steel New York Chain) chain wrapped around the seatpost - to my eye it looked like he was an itinerant of some sort. If not an itinerant in terms of housing (or lack thereof), perhaps an itinerant worker of some sort. But I guess we'll never know. Thanks for your comment, and thanks to everyone else who looked and commented. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
