I remember back in high school... the councilor gave me an application for a governor's school program. I remember looking at the application which 'encouraged girls and minorities' to apply. Two decades later, it still irritates me. Your post displays blatant racism, but there will never be any repercussions.

It's a modern day affirmative action.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Although I've never worked in the public sector, I've heard similar sentiments from devs who do. I'd just like to chime in and say it's not like this in the private sector. Maybe I've been lucky or maybe I've been choosy, but in thirty years of writing code for a living, I've always enjoyed working for my employers, who (since 2000) have been small early-stage successful companies staffed by intelligent (IMHO) management.

Do you believe that any other industry is going to be different?

Great pics Mike! Thanks for sharing. 
And thanks for not putting up the selfies from the nudist camp...
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Very nice! Thank you...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Visited friends in Phoenix about a year ago and spent an afternoon in Sedona. Not enough time. Hope to get back there some day.
Your shot of the canoes at Unicoi last October is great!!

There's a lot of trails and other things to do around Sedona. We took the jeep ride into the back country thinking we would get better shots but I don't think it was any better, but had a good time.

Thanks Mark, I am just learning the art of post processing and am starting to get the hang of it but Photoshop has such a steep learning curve.

Agree. I took a course in photography a few years back that helped quite a bit.

Yeah I think that would really help me but the community college in the little town we live in hasn't offered anything like that yet, as far as I know. I get a little help from other photographers but most are real secretive about their processing.

Maybe join a local photography club.
I did my course online: it was pretty good.
