What are you looking at?

There is a “real” story of discrimination, arrogance and patronizing behind today’s photo.

If at least ten (10) people request it, I will tell you the story tomorrow.

  1. Rudy, I would appreciate your sharing the story. Hopefully it is not too personal or painful to recount.

    Also, I most note that I would never have taken a photo of a man holding a gun … very brave of you.

    Relative to discrimination, recently I had a reader comment that my blog made it appear that Greenville, the city I blog about, was only populated with caucasians. I went back and counted my photos and found that 22% of those which include people also included people of minority races. I found my averages pretty good given the census indicates 33% of our population are African American. However, every since that point I have been taking special notice of photo opportunities to include people of minority races. What I have found is that this hyper awareness is not a good thing. I personally feel like a stalker and as a result I’m trying to go back to the point I was before where I simply took photos regardless of the race of the people in the scene … wish me luck.

  2. This is going to be a good one. It’s the sequel to “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”. Let me get my popcorn ready.
