There is literally nothing in that image to suggest that I have prejudged, judged, or post-judged the subject's character, loyalties, or believe system. It's an image. Period. And if you don't understand why some might consider it a good image, possessing a number of the charcteritics that make street photography worth looking at, then you have been spending far, far too much time with the nut hatches, and not enough with people - particularly with people aware of what's going on in the world around them. ___ Sent with SnapperMail www.snappermail.com ......

I'm not saying it's a good thing, but I fail to see the distinction between pre-judging and prejudice, aside from spelling. Or are you saying that 'prejudice' is the evil form of pre-judging? I made a pre-judgement about the woman in the picture based entirely on her apperance. If that isn't prejudice, what is?
