Description	Photographer's caption reads, "Captain America is depressed. He has spent a long day posing with tourists for a dollar a photo. His take for the day is a scant eight bucks. Spiderman is way more popular, he says, and Batman rakes in the cash. Elvis makes big money and everyone loves Marilyn. He's becoming resigned to life as a second tier superhero. Captain America made his costume by hand. The red "A" on his forehead is a little frayed and the star on his chest seems off center. While we talk, a kid comes up and asks if he is Spiderman. He looks at the kid, his blue eyes downcast. He points to the big red Captain America "A" on his forehead. "Do I look like Spiderman?" he asks."
