As I looked up, an elderly woman gazed out a window near TIME, but she quickly closed the curtain when, I thought, she saw me across the street with my camera. Nagler went back to that very spot several times over the next few weeks trying to capture the moment. After several tries, he got the image. You can analyze the photos ad nauseum, or just enjoy the coincidences — the decisive moments — that each image represents. hide captionBerkeley, Calif., April 1991 hide captionOakland, Calif., Nov. 1980 hide captionOakland, Calif., Sept. 1987
