Woodrow Wilson High School

Photos of a Washington, D.C. area high school by Esther Bubley, taken in 1943.

I see that my most of my bw photos are still uploading in sepia. I've decided that Blogger is the Microsoft Word of posting environments - making "helpful" changes you don't really want.

Update: I've learned how to cancel out the sepia effect. Have to go in to Picasa and edit photos back to bw there. This can only be done in Chrome.
