The cold November air bites at my neck, but the girls on the sidewalk don't seem to notice, strutting in their thin satin slip dresses and sheer knee-high socks. I adjust my camera lens, focusing on the flash of a plaid mini-skirt as it brushes against a tiny leather backpack.
Down on the curb, a group of kids is huddled over a pile of cardboard **Pogs**, the frantic clicking of their heavy brass slammers echoing off the brick. One boy lets out a shout, "Spam!" as he flips a rare stack, his fingers stained with the grime of the city and the ink of his hard-won treasures.
