From this morning's New York Times online briefing:
"Nikon Picked 32 Photographers to Promote a Camera. All 32 Were Men.
By DANIEL VICTOR
SEPTEMBER 14, 2017
"To promote a new camera, Nikon enlisted 32 photographers from Asia, Africa and the Middle East to try it out and tell their stories on the company’s website.
"But Nikon couldn’t — or didn’t — find any women to participate. All 32 were men.
"It was a baffling oversight to many female photographers, who have no shortage of challenges finding opportunities in a notoriously male-dominated industry."

How could they be so insensitive??
Oh wait a sec. Nikon did invite women to the presser but they had other commitments. But, you won't see that in too many reports because then there aren't any victims and Lord knows the media is all about finding a down trodden soul to exploit.

No not baffling! Nikon is a foreign entity which classify women as the bottom of the food chain (them not me)! I have seen works of women and I have to tell you guys, I'M FREAKIN JEALOUS! Nikon screwed up big time, a 50/50 mix would have been a meaningful test result! But then what the hell do I know!

More likely, the women that were asked to participate were simply too busy with serious photography assignments and projects to waste their time on silly corporate promotions.

You have forgotten to put a smily face at the end, because I don't believe that you actually meant what you wrote.

People like Annie, or Lisa Kristine use whatever works for them. They are photographers, not vendor sponsors....
