Thanks to Molly and Kim who graciously got out in the cold and the wet to model for me. (The ghost is I!!!)
Yep I like this shot. Taken in the alley by the Campus Post Office (had to crop out a sign). I expect to be punished a bit for the crookedness of the wall...the wall is actually crooked. Original was lit with a sodium light or something, it was incredibly yellow even with the tungsten WB, so I had no choice but to convert to B&W.
Edit:
•B+W conversion, increase red and decrease yellow
•Straighten -2.1º
•Crop (to be minus "Campus Post Office <--" sign, lol)
•Adjustment Layer -- Levels
•Increase contrast and a little bit of brightness
•Resize
•USM, rather a lot
•Save for Web (which I shoulda done in the GIMP but was pressed for time...)
Prediction: oooo, I don't know. 5.5-ish?
Dream: Oh, you know, one of those big numbers that rhymes with "eleven"

Just got a blue shirt, so felt the need to add an outtake.
My DPCO team was less than enthusiastic.
Sitting around 5.78 at the moment.

This one is really sad, more so because they're so young. I love that motion blur, a man moving past so quick he doesn't even notice the tired, starving young runaways, that's what this photo makes me think. Good contrast and the b&w makes it seem even more hopless. Nice work :)
