Workers leaving Pennsylvania shipyards, Beaumont, Texas (LOC)whats in the box?? Looks like 'quittin' time' was as segregated as the rest of life. Look at this in original size. This man's face speaks volumes. too bad the quality of the scan is not perfect (look at the TIFF).. The sun is in his eyes :) I'd be in a great depression if my face looked like this too Also check this guy's face in original size. Is he just tired from the day's work, or is he resentful of being photographed? time for a safari
