Thank you. I got lucky. It was a windy day. She, of course, hates it! If looks like dasloaf is really good at posing subjects. The girls look great. I love the way the earring just carresses the jawline.
I grew up in the South but am still amazed at how prominent racism is today. I do believe that it is a problem for all races. I make my students (adults) watch the movie Crash and then we really get into some heated discussions regarding discrimination. It can be a lot of fun. It definitely helps to have a sense of humor as a family that doesn't fit the sterotype.

Your reply should have been "So I can make enough money that I won't have to take a low end job as a security guard"

I was at a basketball game taking pics and security at the game asked me if I had a daughter playing and if not why was I taking pictures. I looked at him and smiled, one of the girls heard this and she came up and hugged me and yelled "Daddy"! Then another girl and another girl on the team came up and did this. It brought a tear to my eye. They went after the Security Guard for messing with their "Daddy"!

It's not posssible to please everyone, or even most people. Staying calm is always best. By the way, you didn't have to label those pictures. :D

At a party I attended one black man dropped the "n" word. My jaw dropped open. He noticed it and retorted, "We can say it, but you can't."

I could never understand that reasoning. They are the ones keeping the word alive, yet they don't want anyone to use it.
Al Roker wrote a book, and mentioned that his daughter came home from kindergarten and used that word. Al immediately jumped to the conclusion that there were racists in her class. That's a big jump.

As bad as the bird is, I didn't know if it would be recognized without a label. LOL.

Wow, crazy.
Flowers vs sports. Some correlation. I coached youth baseball. In the tee-ball league you often have kids playing with flowers, chasing butterflies in the outfield, so . . ?
There was a thread here recently about "I take good pixs of white people, but how to you adjust for black people" (something like that) so . . ? (It was a reasonable photography question, not a racial one)

Wonder what would have happened if it was the other way around....a black photographer being told he couldn't take pics of a white family! All hell wiuld break loose and it would have made the national news!

I think you proved that your skill level has nothing to do with your race. A few years back, (when I thought I knew what I was doing) I got hired to photograph a family reunion. This family was huge, and I spent a couple of hours photographing different groups of families. I was told they are spread out all over the country, and every couple of years they get together in a different part of the country for their reunion. NICEST bunch of people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Great people are out there, but every once in a while you run into someone that just floors you with what comes out of their mouth.

"THE HUMAN RACE"
why then can,t we all get along ?
