> good intentions

it's an interesting picture.  the buildings are likely low income
housing (I say 'likely because you could not know for sure unless you
were told).  all the windows in the frame are boarded up, which would
imply failure of the project, yet there are blankets hanging out to
dry, which asks the question "whose"?  All of this is of course made
clear by some of your earlier comments.

I am sure that there are many other places in the world that are much
more "ghetto" than this, but to me that is not the point of the photo.
 The way I see it, the point is to show the failure of the housing
projects.  I think your photo does that well.  The content of the
photo shows the project in it's demise, while the style of the effects
that you applied (50's era B&W) is a reminder of the period in which
the project began.  OR.... you could look at it in a
weird/ironic/scifi way, being that it is a picture that was taken in
the 50's of how the project/experiment would end up.  But maybe that's
a little too much over-thinking on my part  :)

In short... nice photo (and personally, I would make the caption
simply. 'Good Intentions')
