speaking of this picture by Lee:
http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=233329&size=lg

That shows up in this picture as well but what Ted's talking about is a 
tilt of the camera. As in the top of the camera was not level left to 
right. 

Look at the upper right hand corner of the building. Converging lines 
would have that line tilted into the center of the photo. Its not. 
Convergence would have the sides "falling in" towards the middle.

The edge of the building  thats right above the woman's head is tilted. 
Its pretty much in the middle and the perspective convergence would not 
show there, but its tilted to the right as well.
