“Boys & Girls” 2004
Another scan from a print which I’ll eventually upgrade. This is a picture that I like very much and rather than try and explain why, I’ll shut up…

Indian Joe who can be found in the “Homeless” category had just gotten into it with another fellow on St. Marks Place and showed me his freshly injured hand…
